Congratulations on purchasing a REDBACK PLL synthesized true diversity wireless microphone system. The UHF band wireless microphone and receiver are the latest generation high quality audio systems. The PLL synthesized diversity wireless microphone system operates on UHF band frequency (520-550MHz) with 700 selectable channels. Please read this instruction manual completely before operating the system. These instructions cover the transmitters, and receiver model C 8890D. The receiver unit is used with compatible 700 channel handheld (C 8892D) and lavalier (C 8893D) transmitters.
System Features:
• Operates on UHF band frequency range 520-550MHz with PLL synthesized control.
• Auto-scan function to easily find an interference free channel.
• Preset channel groups allow up to 8 transmitters and receivers with the use of the autoscan function, up to 12 transmitters can be used in the same location.
• PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesized wireless microphone system with 700 selectable frequencies making it easy to choose non-interference channels.
• Excellent reception system ensures super high sensitivity, and a high signal to noise ratio.
• Units are supplied with SMT assembled PCB modules ensuring high reliability and easy serviceability.
• High dynamic range handheld microphone for all vocal applications.
• Lapel microphone that minimises static pickup resulting in very low noise.
Receiver Features:
• 12V DC Power supply (supplied)

Connection:
1. Connect the cable, one end to the balanced or unbalanced output jack of the receiver, the other end to the mic mixing input of amplifier, audio mixer etc.
2. For best results set the output volume control at about three quarter level and adjust mixer / amplifier level to suit.
3. The squelch level is adjustable by the rotary pot at the back of the unit. Adjust the squelch level to prevent external noise. Note: setting the squelch high (towards max) will reduce the range of the system.
4. When the receiver is not in use disconnect from the mains power.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use the balanced and unbalanced outputs at the same time. This may cause signal loss or increased noise.
1. Antenna Input Connector: BNC-type connectors provide connection to the supplied antennas or to coaxial cable
used with an antenna divider, antenna boosters or remote antennas.
2. Balanced Output: 3-pin XLR connector provides balanced low-impedance output.
3. Unbalanced Output: Unbalanced 6.3mm mono jack audio output for connecting to a line point.
4. Mic/Line Switch: Use this to adjust output (XLR balanced connector and 6.35mm unbalanced phone jack) for
microphone (-20dB) or line-level (0dB).
5. Squelch: Use the squelch to adjust the output level to suppress noise. The higher the squelch control, the lower the
sensitivity of the receiver and smaller the service area of the system. Set the squelch to minimum before turning the receiver on. If you have unwanted noise increase the squelch control until the noise disappears.
6. DC IN: DC Input connector for the included 12V DC power supply.

Note: TWO OR MORE WIRELESS MICROPHONES WHICH TRANSMIT AT THE SAME FREQUENCY CAN NOT BE USED IN THE SAME LOCATION.
WHEN TWO OR MORE WIRELESS MICROPHONES (HANDHELD AND/OR LAVALIER) ARE USED IN THE SAME LOCATION ENSURE THAT 10 OR MORE CHANNEL SPACES ARE BETWEEN EACH SELECTED FREQUENCY SO THAT INTERFERENCE DOES NOT OCCUR.
If interference still occurs (which is due to harmonics) select another frequency. TABLE 1 shows 4 groups of 8 frequencies which may be used together in the same area. ALTERNATIVELY USE THE SCAN FUNCTION.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Signal dropouts and noise may be suddenly encountered by interruption from outside if there is too long a distance between microphone and receiver, or battery power is low. In such a case, adjust receiver antenna or change battery.
No Sound Output • Check the transmitter and receiver power supply and switch.
• Check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency.
• Check that the audio amplifier or mixer is switched on and that the receiver output is connected.
• Check whether transmitter is too far away from receiver or SQUELCH control set too high.
• Check whether transmitter or receiver is located too close to a metal object or there are obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
Sound Interference • When using two or more microphone sets simultaneously, ensure that the chosen frequencies do not interfere (see Table 1 for frequency guide).
• Check for interference from other devices - wireless microphones, TV, radio etc.
• Improve antenna location.
Distortion • Check the receiver volume level is not set too high.
• Check for interference from other devices - wireless microphones, TV, radio etc.
PRECAUTIONS: * Avoid extremely dirty, dusty or wet environments. * Avoid use in areas where extremely high humidity is present. Do not spill liquid on appliance or use near water. * Do not drop the microphone on a hard concrete floor, nor strike the microphone head front with fist or fingers,
nor blow strongly into the microphone head front. * Remove the battery in microphone if not in use for a long time. This will prevent damage that a defective

CHANNEL SELECTION MODES:
The receiver operates in three channel selection modes.
Manual Channel Selection:
This mode allows you to manually select interference free channels. Table 1 shows the frequencies available. If two transmitters are being used in the same area, ensure the selected frequencies are at least 10 channel spaces apart. This reduces interference.
Use the ▲ button to select the MANUAL mode so that the ‘MANUAL’ marker appears on the LCD display.
Press the SET button for two seconds until the LCD is flashing. Then release the button.
Use the
▲ button to select the frequency. Hold the
▲ button to fast forward through all available fre-
quencies until a suitable frequency is found. To move backwards use the ▼button.
Press the SET button to lock the setting or let the selected channel and frequency values keep flashing five times, until they lock into that setting.

Beltpack Microphone:
A range of microphones and pickups are available for the belt pack transmitter including tie clip mic, lecture type headset and aerobics type headset.
Figure 5: Beltpack Microphone Transmitter C 8893D
Operation: (See Fig 3.)
1. Slide open the battery compartment.
2. Insert two AA Size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder according to polarity (+) and (-) indicators marked on the battery housing. The transmitter accepts dry cell batteries or rechargeable batteries.
3. Replace battery cover.
4. To switch on, push the power switch for 4 seconds (or until the LCD illuminates). The LCD shows channel number and battery status.
5. To change channel/frequency, press the SYNC button and synchronise the receiver and transmitter frequency. See “SYNC mode” for detailed instructions on how this function operates.
6. Adjust gain switch to optimum level to prevent overdriving (-10dB, 0dB, 10dB).
7. To switch off, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds or until the LCD displays ‘OFF’.
8. Remove the batteries from the unit if it is not to be used for a long time. This will prevent damage to the unit that a defective leaking battery may cause.
Use the ▲ button to select the PRESET mode so that the ‘PRESET marker appears on the LCD display.
Preset Channel Selection:
This mode is used when multiple C 8890D systems are used in the same area. Each receiver is setup to use PRESET mode. This allows each receiver to select a channel in one of four preset groups. Within each preset group is eight selectable channels. See Table 1 for a list of frequencies within each preset group. Once configured, up to eight transmitters and receivers may be used in the same location without interference. If more than eight frequencies are required, once a group of eight is selected, go to autoscan mode and continue to set frequencies nine through twelve.
If interference occurs within the selected preset group, try switching to the next preset group. If all groups exhibit interference, use manual or auto scan mode to find a suitable channel.
Press the SET button to lock the setting or let the selected channel and frequency values keep flashing five times, until they lock into that setting.
