Quick Start

In order for your wireless system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to
the same channel. Follow this basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine 88 Headset

wireless system:

Physically place the CR88 receiver where it will be used, and extend the antennas
vertically. The general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver
and transmitter so that the person using or wearing the transmitter can see the receiver.

With the CR88 powered off, connect the included power adapter. Turn the CR88 on
momentarily to confirm that the unit is receiving power. You’ll see the LED display light
up. Then turn the CR88 power off.

With your amplifier or mixer off
and volume control all the way
down, connect the CR88 receiver
output jack to the mic or line
level input of a mixer or amplifier
using the balanced XLR output or
unbalanced ¼” line level output.
Turn the Level knob on the CR88
completely counterclockwise, then
turn its power on.

FREQ:

542-566MHz

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Press the SELECT button on the front of
the CR88 receiver to choose an available
channel. The channel number will increase
by one digit, from 0-9 then A-F. Once the
last channel has been reached, the count
will cycle back to 0.

Make sure the AH8 Headset transmitter
is fully charged (see section Charging the
AH8 Transmitter) Turn on the power to the
transmitter by pressing and holding the
Power button for 3 seconds; the indicator
LED will light yellow when the button is
pressed and turns green when released and
the AH8 is powered on.
