4ZONE 4 Zone Antenna Combiner for Wireless Microphones

Operation

To enter the settings mode, press and hold the desired input channel’s Antenna Selection key ② for 2 seconds until the input

channel’s indicator light ashes. Use the Antenna Selection key to cycle through the 3 settings menus as indicated by the Settings
Selection Indicator ⑥. Use the Up / Down keys ③ to change the parameters in each settings mode. After setting your

parameters in the third settings mode (RF Input), press the Antenna Selection key a nal time to save and exit the settings. For a

step by step video, please visit rfvenue.com.

Notes

• This product is designed for combining receive antennas for wireless microphone receivers and is not recommended for use with transmitters.

• Use standard 50Ω coaxial cable.

• An In-Line Amplier may be used to compensate for losses associated with long runs of coaxial cable. Enable DC power when using ampliers.

• Adjust the RF input attenuation levels if signals exceed normal ranges of wireless microphone receivers.

Caution : To reduce the risk of re or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to heat or moisture.
Warning : To prevent electric shock, do not remove the cover. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel or distributors.

Read this instruction manual before using.

Keep this instruction manual for future reference.

•Use in a well ventilated area. Do not block any ventilation openings.

•Do not use near heat sources.

•Do not use in humid or dusty environments.

•Turn power off immediately in the event of a spill or if the unit overheats.

Instruction Manual

Installation

• Connect the antenna to the antenna inputs of the 4Zone with a coaxial cable. Long cable runs may require an In-Line Amplier.

• Connect the antenna outputs to the receiver or antenna distributor with a coaxial cable.

• When not in use, store the 4Zone with the power off.
