8. Turn on the power to your AH1 transmitter (using its Power on-off switch); the “Power/Battery” LED will flash if the battery is sufficiently
strong (if it lights steadily, the battery has less than 2 hours of power remaining and should be replaced). If your system contains either a
CR77 or UM1 receiver, one of the “A/B Receiver” LEDs will light, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver is currently being
used. The CR77 / UM1 meter will also indicate the strength of the incoming RF signal.
9. Now it’s time to set the audio levels. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. Make sure
that the AH1 transmitter is unmuted (its Mute switch should be positioned away from the arrrow). Then set the Volume, Level or AF Level
knob on the receiver fully clockwise; this is unity gain.
10. Speak or sing into your headset mic (or play the instrument to which the horn mic is attached) at a normal performance level while
slowly raising the volume of your amplifier and/or mixer until the desired level is reached. The UM1 receiver allows you to monitor the
transmission signal using standard Walkman-type 30 ohm headphones connected to its headphone jack.
11. If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, first check to see whether the “Peak” LED on the receiver is lit . If it is
not lit, make sure
that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If the
“Peak” LED
is lit, simply move the microphone further from your mouth.
12. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level, again make sure that the gain structure of your audio system
is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details) and that the Volume, Level or AF Level control of the
receiver is fully clockwise. If it is and the signal coming from the receiver is still weak and/or noisy, simply position the microphone closer to
your mouth.
13. Temporarily turn down the level of your mixer/amplifier system and turn off the power to your transmitter, leaving the receiver on. Then
restore the previously set level of your mixer/amplifier. With the transmitter off, the receiver output should be totally silent—if it is, skip
ahead to the next step. If it isn’t (that is, if you hear some noise), you may need to adjust the receiver Squelch control. When the Squelch
control is at its minimum setting, the AirLine system always provides maximum range without dropout; however, depending upon the par
