Quick User Controls/Connections Guide
MGT-16 Receiver
1. ASC™ IR SYNC INFRARED LED WINDOW For downloading selected Channel
(Frequency) to transmitter
2. POWER SWITCH Select OFF/MUTE/ON (MUTE=power On, audio output highly
attenuated)
3. VOLUME CONTROL Adjusts the audio output level—at maximum setting the gain
will be about +4dB over a direct instrument-to-cord-to-amp connection
4. CHANNEL SELECT DIP-SWITCH Select one of 16 pre-set channels per MGT-16
DIP-Switch Frequency Selection Chart (see page 20)
5. BATTERY COMPARTMENT Insert two AA batteries for optional DC operation, note
correct polarity
6. BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER Push tab to release hinged door
7. AUDIO OUTPUT JACK For connecting audio cable
8. DC INPUT JACK For connecting external AC/DC adapter for powering receiver
9. ANTENNAS Dual ¼ wave for best reception
10. SIGNAL LED (Green) Indicates the received signal from the transmitter
11. LOW BATTERY LED (Amber) Lights continuously to indicate batteries need
replacement (if not using power adapter)
12. POWER ON LED (Red) will light indicating the receiver is operational
13. MUTE (SQUELCH) CONTROL Adjust with a small screwdriver inserted in slot.
Controls the mute level for the receiver—turn counter-clockwise for maximum range;
turn clockwise, if needed, to minimize noises from outside RF interference upon
muting.
Note: Set control carefully. If trim-pot is turned past minimum and maximum
adjustment points it may need to be backed up to achieve desired setting.
14. ASC™ IR SYNC BUTTON Press to make the IR link download the receiver’s
selected frequency to the TX. First, turn on the system transmitter supplied (or turn
off and then on again if already on) and position its IR window 6-12” away from the
MGT-16’s IR WINDOW (1), press the SYNC button once and wait one second for the
transmitter to respond. If the IR data download is successful, the receiver
SIGNAL LED (10) will light, indicating the transmitter is locked in and transmitting.
