Antenna PM101 RECEIVER The PM101 receiver is a pocket sized wireless audio receiver with an output for earbuds to provide in ear monitoring, and offers these features: · Ultra compact and lightweight · Pretuned to one of three channels in the 72-76 MHz range · Loudness adjustable with volume control · Antenna is integral with earphone cord · A pair of mini binaural earphones included · LED "power on" indicator · Accepts standard, alkaline or rechargeable NiCad 9V batteries Mic Input Audio Modulation LED Power Switch & LED Channel Selection Your receiver is pre tuned at the factory to the same channel as your transmitter. Should you wish to have your transmitter channel changed, as explained in the Transmitter section of this manual, you must also have your receiver(s) retuned as well. Contact Carvin's Service Department (800-854-2235). Powering The Receiver Line Input Input Gain Adjust 12V DC Jack Install a 9V battery in battery compartment, observing polarity. To preserve battery life, always turn the receiver off when it is not in use. When the sound becomes weak or distorted, replace the battery. The number of hours of operation per battery is as follows: Carbon zinc type battery: 10-12 hours. Rechargeable: 6-8 hours per charge, varies by manufacturer. Note: Any commerical 12V DC 100 mA adapter can also be used as a receiver NiCad battery recharger. To recharge a NiCad battery, you can plug the 12V DC adapter into the PM101 receiver's earphone/charger jack. CAUTION: The only way you can recharge a NiCad battery while it is installed in the receiver is with a 12V DC adapter. You cannot plug a commercial 9V DC recharger into the receiver. You can use such a 9V DC recharger to recharge a NiCad battery, but you must first remove the battery from your PM101 receiver. WARNING: Never recharge a carbon or alkaline battery is installed in the receiver, as any attempt to do so may seriously damage the receiver, cause the battery to explode or start a fire. A 12V DC adapter recharger may be plugged into your receiver only when a rechargeable battery is installed in the receiver. Audio Input Gain Adjustment You can quickly adjust the transmitter to obtain optimum performance with the input gain control. The audio modulation indicator LED, marked "TX" will increase in brightness as the control is turned clockwise, and decrease in brightness as the control is turned counterclockwise. When the "TX" LED is flashing during transmission, the transmitter is broadcasting properly. (If the LED stays off continuously or barely flashes at all, the input gain needs to be increased. If the LED stays on continuously and does not flash during modulation, the input is overloading and needs to be decreased. ) You will also need to test the transmitter in use with an PM101 receiver. This procedure is easy to do, and is explained in the receiver instructions, which follow. Using More Than One PM100 System You may operate up to three PM100 systems in the same location. For example, you may want to use one transmitter to provide a mix to the rhythm section, a second to provide a different mix for the vocalist. For multiple system operation, please observe: · If operating two or more PM100 transmitters in the same location, be sure your second transmitter is set for a different channel. This should be requested at the time of purchase since the channels are preset at the factory . · Locate the transmitters ten feet or more, away from the performers using receivers. USING THE EARBUDS Simply plug the included earbuds into the mini-jack on top of the receiver. [. . . ] If you step away from the "drop out" zone, the audio will return. If a drop out zone is within the area of the stage or sound board(s), it is possible to eliminate the drop out zone by moving your PM100 transmitter as little as 1218 inches in any direction. After you move the transmitter, "range walk" the stage and other areas again to check for consistent reception. Power ON LED ON/OFF Volume Earphone / Charger Jack Setting Up the Transmitter Your PM100 requires minimum installation. Simply place the transmitter on any flat surface, connect your mixing board to the transmitter's back panel input (See connecting Audio input below), connect the included power supply (as explained below), and the transmitter is ready to broadcast to any number of PM101 receivers operating on the same channel.
