System Frequencies
Multiple Systems — Pairing/System ID Instructions
Note: Up to eight systems may be used together without any
frequency coordination problems or group selection issues.
1. Turn the rst receiver and rst transmitter on.
2. Push the System ID button on your rst receiver to choose an ID
number from 1 to 8. The receiver’s display will show your new ID
and begin to blink.
3. Within 15 seconds, push and hold the Pair button on your rst
receiver for about one second. The pair light will begin to blink
green. Your rst receiver is now in Pair mode.
Note: If the receiver pair button is not pushed within 15 seconds,
the system ID number will revert to its previous setting.
4. Open your rst transmitter and push its Pair button within 30
seconds* of entering Pair mode. The rst transmitter display
will now show the System ID number you have chosen for your
rst receiver. The Pair light will glow steady, indicating you have
successfully paired your rst system.
5. Repeat for each additional system, identifying each system with its
own unique ID number.
Note: While unique System ID numbers are not required, we
recommend assigning unique System ID numbers for each transmitter-
receiver pair. As noted previously, System ID numbers are not related to
transmitter frequency; they are provided for user convenience only.
*If transmitter pair button is not pushed within 30 seconds, the system
will revert to its previous settings.
Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results
1. Use only fresh alkaline or fully charged replaceable batteries for the
transmitter.
2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions
between it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight
is best.
3. The transmitter and the receiver should be as close together as con
-
veniently possible, but not less than 6' (2 m).
4. While System 10 has been designed to conveniently mount on
cameras, please keep other wireless devices (including wireless
systems and routers) away from System 10 receivers. For best
performance, some routers and Wi-Fi-based wireless systems may
need to be up to 30 feet away from System 10 receivers.
5. The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal.
6. Use the transmitter level control to optimize performance for your
sound source.
7. If the receiver output is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio
of the system may be reduced. Conversely, if the Attenuator of the
receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the camera/
mixer, causing distortion. Adjust the output level of the receiver so
the highest sound pressure level going into the camera/mixer causes
no input overload, and yet permits the camera/mixer level controls
to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). This
provides the optimum signal-to-noise for the entire system.
8. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if the
transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
9. Unplug the receiver from the AC outlet when the system is not
in use.
System Operating Frequencies
Automatic Frequency Selection
System 10 wireless systems operate in automatically selected frequen
-
cies in the 2.4 GHz range, far from TV and DTV interference. Up to eight
channels may be used together without any frequency coordination
problems or group selection issues. Every time a receiver/transmitter
pair is powered on, it automatically selects clear frequencies. Due to
the dynamic nature of System 10 automatic frequency selection, these
transmitting frequencies may change during power-up or performance if
interference is encountered. These frequency changes occur at both the
receiver and transmitter; they are seamless and imperceptible to the ear.
