1. INTRODUCTION

Thanks for purchasing the TOPP PRO wireless microphone system. The TMW-9144R/T/P series is delicately designed
UHF, PLL synthesized system, with two antennas built inside the receiver for smart switching diversity control, the higher
level RF signals may be fed into the system for greater reliability and coverage, therefore, the risks of breakdown and
interference are effectively reduced.

By the Auto Scan function provided by the TMW-9144, PLL UHF Diversity Receiver, the operating frequency of the
transmitter may be automatically searched out and locked by the system. Or, you can manually adjust the channel
of the transmitter to match the receiver in case you know the operating frequency of it.

Generally, the TMW-9144R/T/P series consists of

TMW-9144R, PLL UHF Diversity Receiver.

ENGLISH

The job of a squelch circuit is to reduce audible noise. It eliminates noise during pauses in the audio signal by
muting the receiver every time the audio level drops below a defined threshold. The squelch control on the receiver
sets this threshold. Use the squelch control with care! If the squelch threshold is too high, the squelch will not only
cut out noise but mute quiet audio signals as well because the squelch responds to the detected voltage and cannot
distinguish between wanted signal and noise. Besides that, a too high squelch threshold also decreases the usable
range. In the squelch control mode(fig 5), use the UP/DOWN key to select squelch threshold. In order to achieve
easy operation, the squelch threshold is divided into10 levels,please refer to table.

4.2 For the TMW-9144T/P series transmitters,

4.2.1 Edit The Parameter

Press and hold the CH/ON key for a few seconds, then the transmitter is powered on. Now, the LCD displays the
current operation status:

Frequency select

It is a multi-channels PLL synthesized system. In practice, to effectively avoid the interference from
any lighting equipment, computers, fax machines, etc nearby, it is usually advised to switch to another frequency
to get best performance.

After the transmitter is switched on, touch the CH/ON key slightly to select the parameter which you want to
edit, such as the preset channel, preset group, PL (RF power level), and Lock/unlock.

The frequency range of this system is UHF, 470MHz ~ 900MHz, and it is divided into 8 frequency bands (F1 ~ F8)
according to the country's EMC regulations; For each frequency band, to select the proper frequency preset, please
first pick the right Group, then the Channel; For details please refer to the Annex.specify

For example, in F7 frequency band, if you want to select the frequency preset of 811.125MHz (Group 6, Channel 6),
please follow the below procedure.

Touch the CH/ON key slightly again to select the edited parameter of Group (refer to Fig 7), then use the SELECT
key to specify the proper Group.

Several seconds later after that, the system stores the settings automatically, and LCD display comes back to
the main menu which shows the current operation status.

Turn on the unit first.

Touch the CH/ON key slightly to select the edited parameter of Channel (refer to Fig 8), then use the SELECT
key to specify the proper channel.

RF Output Power Select

Three different RF output power levels are available of TMW-9144T

PL 0, the output power is 5dBm; PL 1, the output power is 10dBm; PL 2, the output power is 15dBm.

But, It's a different from TMW-9144P
PL 0, the output power is 3dBm; PL 1, the output power is 5dBm; PL 2, the output power is 12dBm.

Please follow the below procedure to select the proper RF output power
Touch the CH/ON key slightly to select the edited parameter of PL (refer to Fig 9), then use the SELECT key to specify
the proper RF output Power version.
Several seconds later after that, the system stores the settings automatically, and LCD display comes back to the main
menu which shows the current operation status.
