6. S A Note More bars in the Received Signal 39 icon indicate good signal strength in operation with the transmitter on but more than 1 bar showing with the transmitter off also indicates the presence of likely RF interfering signals at that location If this happens select a different GRP CH One bar or less is ideal for interference free operation Miscellaneous Tips e For optimum operation with external antennas low loss RF shielded cable should be used and the length of the cable should not exceed 10 3 m e The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal surfaces whenever possible as they can reflect away or shield the incoming RF signal If the receiver s volume control is set too high it may overdrive the input of the attached audio mixer causing distortion Conversely if the output is set too low the overall signal to noise ratio of the system may be reduced causing noticeable hiss If such noise occurs adjust the output level of the receiver so that highest sound pressure level going into the microphone transmitter causes no input overload in the mixer but permits the mixer level control to operate in the normal range not too high and not too low This provides the optimum signal to noise for the entire system Before inserting the batteries ensure that they are inserted with the correct polarity Before operation confirm that the receiver and associated transmitter are tuned to the
