Quick Start
In order for your wireless system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same
channel.
Set up the receiver:
Physically place the UR7 receiver where it will be used. 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.
Connect and position the antennas vertically.
FREQ:
