PEM-500
Thank you for purchasing a Nady PEM-500 Wireless Personal In-Ear Monitor System and congratulations on your choice. This system offers all of the advantages of wireless in-ear monitoring–mobility, more focused audio, freedom from feedback, and elimination of transport issues associated with conventional floor monitors–as well as the longterm health benefits of safe listening levels. For the first time, a wireless in-ear monitor system combines state-of-the-art advanced frequency-agile PLL synthesized UHF technology, high-end performance, ease of use, and unprecedented affordability. The PEM-500 offers a choice of 16 user selectable UHF channels in both the transmitter and receiver(s), as well as stereo (MPX system) or mono mode transmission. This system is indispensable for live-stage music performance, and is loaded with features previously found only in units costing several times more.
This booklet gives instructions for the operation of the PEM-500 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System. Please read the instructions for your system completely before operating unit. This manual first lists the features of the PEM-500, and then takes you step-by-step in explaining how to operate your new system, both transmitter and receiver. Each section gives you detailed operating instructions. Also included in this manual are system specifications and servicing information.

USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. ALWAYS USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
The Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has established the following guidelines for maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels (SPL) before hearing damage occurs: 90 dB SPL @ 8 hours
95 dB SPL @ 4 hours 100 dB SPL @ 2 hours 105 dB SPL @ 1 hour 110 dB SPL @ 1/2 hour 115 dB SPL @ 15 minutes Aviod exposure to 120 dB or greater SPL or irreversible ear damage may result.
(Note: It is difficult to measure the SPL present at the eardrum in live sound applications. The volume present will be affected by the level setting of your PEM­500R, the ambient stage sound from your other instruments and speakers, and the quality of and fit of your in-ear speakers.)
Always avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Use the following guidelines to use this system safely:
1.Turn up the volume to your earphones only enough to hear properly. The PEM­500 can provide a high quality monitor mix at significantly lower decibel levels than floor monitors. Whenever possible, use the system with the limiter in the PEM-500R receiver ON.
2. Just as with any in-ear monitor system, The PEM-500 works best when used exclusively by all performers on stage (without any wedges or side monitors). The high sound pressure levels produced by floor monitors (especially if the band plays loud) can bleed through the in-ear monitor earbuds and, in the worst cases, hinder their effectiveness. Experiment with your overall mix to get the maximum benefit from your PEM-500.
3. Turn down the volume immediately if you experience any pain or hearing discomfort or ringing in the ears after use.
4. Have an audiologist check your hearing and ears regularly. If you experience any wax buildup in your ears, do not use the system until an audiologist examines your ears.
5. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infection. Stop using the earphones if they cause discomfort or infection.
