LONG RANGER IV: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
9
INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ADD-ON RECEIVER SYSTEM
1.
Set up the Long Ranger system according to the Initial Equipment Adjustments on page 5.
2.
Leave the Long Ranger power turned on. Set both volume controls on the Long Ranger control panel to minimum.
3.
Turn the Add-On receiver power switch to “ON.” Check to see that the power lamp comes on.
4.
Plug the microphone into the transmitter that is on the same frequency as the Add-On receiver. The plug on the microphone is a
twist-lock connector. Make sure there is a good connection. If you are using the headset microphone, turn the white level control knob on the
headset fully clockwise (maximum).
5.
Install the 9 Volt battery into the transmitter, turn the transmitter on and make sure the red LED on the transmitter glows brightly.
6.
Check to see that the green “RF” LED on the Add-On receiver glows steadily. This verifi es that the receiver is picking up a good radio signal
from the transmitter.
7. This is the most important step in the set up procedure.
Place the microphone in the exact position where you will be using it.
Speak at the same voice level that you will use during actual operation. While you speak, use the supplied screwdriver to adjust the gain
control on the tranmitter side panel (see page 6) while you observe the MODULATION LEDs on the Add-On receiver front panel. The green
LEVEL lamp should fl icker or stay lit as you speak. The red LIMIT lamp should blink only on louder words.
8.
Adjust the AUXILIARY INPUT VOLUME control on the Long Ranger control panel for the necessary loudness. If the transmitter gain controls
have been correctly set on both the Long Ranger 4 and the Add-On system, both volume control knobs on the Longer Ranger 4 panel will be in
about the same position for equal loudness on both systems. It is not unusual, however, that one of the volume controls may need to be set
higher or lower than the other one in normal use. Adjust the controls separately for adequate sound levels for each microphone.
SPECIAL NOTE TO DUAL CHANNEL USERS
If you are only using one of the two wireless systems, it is best to use the wireless system built into the Long Ranger and leave the Add-On receiver
turned off. This will prevent unwanted noise, hiss or static that could occur in the unused receiver from entering the Long Ranger.
If it is necessary to use the Add-On receiver by itself, turn the WIRELESS MICROPHONE VOLUME control knob on the Long Ranger control panel to
minimum. Then set the AUXILARY INPUT VOLUME for the necessary loudness of the Add-On system.
