The LX88-II Dual Channel Wireless Receiver can be mounted in two ways: as a
stand-alone unit or as a rack-mount unit.

4. Mic On/Mute Switch. “Mutes” the transmitter to prevent unwanted sounds
from being picked up by the receiver
without
turning the transmitter off.
5. Belt Clip. Secures Body-Pack to clothing or guitar strap.
6. Antenna. For best operation, the antenna must hang vertically, it should not
be coiled or bundled.
7. Audio Gain Control. Provides audio level adjustment to accommodate dif-
ferent sound sources.
8. Battery Compartment. Access to the battery.
INSTALLING RUBBER FEET
FIGURE 4
1. Turn the unit upside-down.
2. Place the rubber feet supplied with the package in the four corners of the base.
3. Turn the unit rightside-up. It can now be mounted on any flat surface, such as a
table, with the feet working as anchors to prevent slipping.
As a Rack-Mount Unit
1. Remove the two screws from each side of the receiver.
2. Position the mounting brackets over the holes on the sides of the receiver
and secure to the receiver with the screws from Step 1 (Figure 5).

CONNECTING THE RECEIVER
There are two ways to connect the receiver to a mixer or a karaoke unit:

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
1. Connect the ac adapter to the POWER jack on the rear panel of the receiver.
2. Plug the ac adapter into an appropriate power outlet.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNAS
There are several ways the antennas can be connected to the receiver.
• When used as a stand-alone unit, attach the supplied quarter-wave antennas to
the antenna connectors on the receiver back panel. For best performance, the
receiver antennas should point straight up (Figure 8).
INSTALLING THE ANTENNAS

Battery Installation (Figure 11)
1. With the transmitter PWR ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, hold the upper
part of the transmitter and unscrew the battery cover.
LX2 MICROPHONE-TRANSMITTER BATTERY INSTALLATION
FIGURE 11
2. Install a fresh 9V alkaline battery (DURACELL MN1604 recommended).
Make sure the battery terminals match the terminals in the transmitter.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Installing the Anti–Roll Device
The rubber anti-roll device prevents hand-held microphones from rolling off
onto the ground when they are set down on a flat surface, such as a table or
speaker cabinet. The anti-roll device proves an important safeguard in stage situations where the LX2 may be used by inexperienced microphone handlers.
To install the anti-roll device, simply slip it over the microphone handle and
slide it up s o that it is positioned just below the label under the microphone grille,
as shown in Figure 12.
1. Press the POWER switch on the LX88-II receiver ON.
2. Slide the transmitter POWER ON/OFF switch to the PWR position. Check the bat-
tery level. See
Checking the Transmitter Battery
.
3. Check the RF indicator on the LX88-II receiver to see if the radio signal is
being received.
4. Slide the transmitter ON/MUTE switch to the ON position and begin speaking
or singing.
NOTE: If the red PEAK light on the receiver does not flicker during the loudest sounds, the transmitter gain may need to be increased. See the
mitter Audio Gain Adjustment
section.
Trans-
5. During the performance or presentation, slide the ON/MUTE switch to the
MUTE position when the microphone is not being used.
6. When the performance or presentation is over , slide the transmitter POWER
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position to conserve battery power.
1. With the transmitter POWER ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, press down
on the O PEN s ide o f t he b attery c ompartment c over, s lide i t back and f lip i t o pen.
2. Insert a new 9V alkaline battery in the compartment (DURACELL MN1604
recommended). Observe proper battery polarity (“+/–”).
3. Close Battery compartment cover.

1. Clip the LX1 body pack transmitter to your belt or guitar strap.
2. Connect the lavalier microphone, headset or instrument adapter cable to the
body–pack transmitter (Figure 16).
3. Press the POWER button on the LX88-II receiver ON.
4. Turn the transmitter POWER switch ON.
Check Power/Battery fuel gauge.
5. Check the RF Signal Indicator on the LX88-II receiver to see if the RF
signal is being received.

or never on, the transmit audio level may require adjustment. Use the gain controls as follows to adjust the equipment for the best sound quality.
To adjust the audio gain, locate the transmitter audio gain control and use the
supplied screwdriver to adjust the control.
•If the PEAK light is always on, decrease the audio gain by turning the gain control counter–clockwise (while the vocalist is singing or the musical instrument
is being played) until the PEAK light on the receiver flickers only occasionally.
•If the PEAK light is never on, increase the audio gain by turning the gain control
clockwise (while the vocalist is singing or the musical instrument is being
played) until the PEAK light on the receiver flickers only occasionally.

TIPS FOR GETTING THE BEST PERFORMANCE
• Maintain a line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.
• Keep the receiver and antennas away from large metal objects.
•Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF generating equipment.
• Point the antennas straight up.
• Avoid placing the receiver in the bottom of an equipment rack unless the an-
tennas are remotely located.
1
•Use the proper receiver antennas.
/4-wave antennas can be used if mounted
directly on the receiver or front mounted on the rack ears using the WA503
Front Mount Conversion Kit; 1/2-wave or other ground-plane-dependent antennas must be used if antennas are remotely located.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Some common problems and their solutions are identified in the table below.
If you are unable to solve a problem, contact your dealer.
ProblemSolution
No sound; RF light(s)
not glowing.
No sound; RF and Audio Level
meter lights glowing.
Received signal is noisy or contains extraneous sounds with
transmitter on.
Noise from receiver with transmitter off.
Momentary loss of sound as
transmitter is moved around performing area.
• Make sure the transmitter and receiver POWER
switches are ON.
• Check battery.
• Check receiver squelch setting.
• Check receiver antenna connection(s).
• Make sure antennas are in line of sight of
transmitter.
• Turn up receiver audio VOLUME control.
• Check for proper connection between receiver
and karaoke unit.
• Talk into microphone and observe receiver audio
level lights. If they glow, the problem is
elsewhere in the sound system.
• Check battery.
• Remove local sources of RF interference.
• If using a guitar or other instrument, check
connections.
• Two transmitters may be operating on the same
frequency. Locate and turn one off.
• Signal may be too weak. Reposition antennas. If
possible, move them closer to transmitter.
• Adjust receiver squelch control.
• Remove local sources of RF interference.
• Reposition receiver or antennas.
• Reposition receiver and perform another
“walkthrough” test and observe the RF
indicators. If audio dropouts persist, mark these
“dead spots” in performing area and avoid them
during performance.
