The 401X Quad VHF is by far the best price/performance value available in multiple channel wireless systems. Please read the instructions in this manual completely before operating your unit. Using This Manual This booklet provides instructions for the operation of the Nady 401X Quad four-channel VHF wireless, including handheld, instrument, lavalier, headmic and plug-in transmitter systems. Features of the 401X Quad are listed, followed by step-by-step instructions explaining how to operate your new system. [. . . ] It is good practice to put a windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it. ] 8 OPERATION 16 15 13 14 12 9 OPERATION WLT Lavalier/Lapel or Headworn Microphone Bodypack Transmitter 1. Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (17) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (18), observing the correct polarity. The WLT is provided with a 3. 5 mm LOCKING JACK (19) for connecting the microphone. Plug in either the LAVALIER/LAPEL (20) or the HEADWORN MICROPHONE (21), as supplied. To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring on the plug clockwise to thread it on to the jack. Slip the transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes. To use the lavalier mic, attach it at chest level. Do not place too close to the mouth ­ a distance of about six inches usually works best. To use the headworn mic, place it on the head and adjust the mic boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of the mouth. (Note: The lavalier or headworn mic wire is also the transmit antenna, and rolling up or shortening the wire may reduce the effective operating range. Extend the wire fully during use and keep it as straight as possible. ) 3. Turn on the WLT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (22) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (23) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one. The TX LED INDICATOR (7) on the 401X Quad receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. Slip the transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes or instrument strap. (Note: As the cord to the instrument also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for maximum range. Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range. ) 2. Turn on the WGT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (29) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (30) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one. The WGT transmitter is now ready to use. [. . . ] Re-position the microphone farther from the source or adjust the Link 2 transmitter gain with the VOLUME LO/HI GAIN SWITCH (35). Set for the maximum possible level without noticeable distortion on the high level peaks. Set the GAIN SWITCH to LO to decrease the audio level, and set the GAIN SWITCH to HI to increase the audio level. The red LED indicator should flicker only on the loudest inputs. [. . . ]
