Operating Instructions
Powering the Receiver
Slide the receiver’s battery cover open and place a fresh 9V battery in the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (1), observing the correct polarity. Although a
fresh alkaline battery can last up to 8-10 hours in use in the receiver, in order
to ensure optimum performance it is recommended that the receiver battery
be replaced after 5 hours of use. Turn the receiver on by rotating the
ON/OFF/VOLUME WHEEL (8) clockwise. The LOW BATT LED (9) will flash
briefly, indicating adequate battery strength. If the LOW BATT LED (9) lights
during use, replace battery.
Antenna
When the system is in use, the 151 VR receiver's ANTENNA (2) should be
fully extended to obtain maximum range.
Mute Adjustment
In normal operation, the MUTE CONTROL (3) should be set fully counterclockwise to the factory preset RF level of 1 µV. However, in areas of high
RF activity, the mute may need to be adjusted. If, with transmitter off, the
receiver’s TX LED (4) flickers or stays on, the MUTE CONTROL (3) should
be turned clockwise until the TX LED (4) extinguishes.
When the mute is properly adjusted, the TX LED will light only when the
system transmitter is turned on.
Note: Turning the mute control too far clockwise will yield
a quieter mute function, but reduce your operating range.
Connecting Audio Output
Plug one end of the audio cable provided into the RECEIVER OUTPUT
JACK (5). The other end should be plugged into your camcorder.
