System Operation
MGT-16 wireless Instrument receiver
antennas
The MGT-16 receiver is supplied with
Dual antennas (9) attached. They should be
extended fully to obtain maximum range.
The optimal positions of the antennas are
45 degrees from the receiver and 90 degrees
from each other. For maximum range, it is
always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no
obstructions) between the receiver antennas
and the transmitter whenever possible.
Powering the receiver
The MGT-16 receiver can operate with either
two AA size batteries (DC operation) or with
the supplied AC adaptor (AC operation).
For DC operation, open the receiver’s
Battery Compartment Door (6) and place
two fresh AA batteries in the battery
compartment, observing the correct polarity.
Two fresh alkaline or NiMH AA batteries will
generally provide 6-8 hours performance,
but in order to ensure optimal performance
it is recommended that the batteries
be replaced after six hours of use, or as
indicated by the low Battery Indicator (11).
As the batteries begin to weaken below
usable voltage, the low battery indicator
will light up continuously, warning that the
batteries are now too low and should be
replaced as soon as possible. To preserve
battery life, keep the receiver Off when it
is not in use.
For AC operation, power the receiver with
the supplied aC Power adaptor (16). Plug the
adapter’s barrel plug into the DC Input Jack (8)
on the back of the receiver, then plug the
adapter into an AC outlet.
AC operation of the MGT-16 receiver is
the same as DC operation except that the
Low Battery Indicator is inactive when the
AC adapter is connected.
Note: When the AC adapter is used, the installed
batteries are automatically disconnected internally
and are not operational. The AC adapter only
