When the system is in use, the VR-3U
receiver’s standard wire anTenna (4) should
be fully extended, avoiding obstructions,
to obtain maximum range.
rF Mute (Squelch) adjustment
In normal operation there is no need to set
or adjust the mute level. The receiver has an
internal factory preset mute level for optimal
performance.
Connecting audio Output
Plug one end of the audio cable (3.5mm
jack) provided into the OuTPuT jack (2). The
other end (XLR jack) should be plugged into
your camcorder or mixer audio input jack.
Monitoring through the Camcorder
Many camcorders allow the user to monitor
by providing a headphone jack. If you plug
your headphones into the camcorder, you
may need to make a simple adjustment on
the VR-3U receiver. If the sound you hear is
uncomfortably loud or sounds distorted, turn
the Volume/On-Off knob on the receiver
counter-clockwise until good audio quality
is obtained. If volume is too low, turn the
Volume/On-Off knob clockwise until you
obtain a comfortable volume level.

the microphone. Make sure the cover is
screwed on completely.
Note: Although fresh alkaline batteries can last
up to 10 hours in use, in order to ensure optimal
performance it is recommended that you replace
the batteries after every 7-8 hours of use. To
preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when
not in use.

battery, the BaTTerY InDICaTOr leD (20)
will either not go on at all or will stay on
continuously, indicating that the batteries
should be replaced with fresh ones.
To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter
off when not in use.
The microphone is now ready to use.
The receiver rF/lOW BaTTerY leD (3) should
