The PRO-XR 2.4 GHz Wireless Microphone System is certified for legal operation in the United States of America, Canada, and all EU member
countries. Use of the PRO-XR may or may not be allowed in other countries. It is the responsibility of the user to check the local wireless frequency
regulations of any country outside of the previously stated certified countries.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The exposure standard for wireless devices
employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: BZBPRO-XR.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environmnet and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that are deemed to
comply without testing of specific absorption ratio (SAR).
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles les
radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directrices d'exposition et d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’lC. Cet équipement
émet une énergie RF trés faible qui est considérée conforme sans évaluation du débit d’absorption spécifique (DAS).
Tips For Best Results
1. For each use of the PRO-XR start with the RX and TX units fully charged.
2. Monitor sound from the receiver with headphones while filming so you can
catch any possible disturbances in the signal before concluding your shoot.
3. Position the TX and RX with as few physical obstacles between them as possible. While the PRO-XR system
can overcome minor obstructions fairly well, a clear line-of-sight between the TX and RX is always best.
4. Use the high-gain antenna on the transmitter whenever possible. When placing the transmitter behind a
person’s back, bend the high-gain antenna away from the person’s body at a 45º angle for better wireless
performance.
5. Over-crowded Wi-Fi environments can make it challenging for the PRO-XR to find a clear channel on which to
connect. An over-crowded Wi-Fi environment will also limit the number of PRO-XR systems that can be used
simultaneously in the same area. Consider these limitations when choosing your location.
6. Close proximity to Wi-Fi or bluetooth equipment can negatively affect performance. Avoid operating the
PRO-XR near such equipment whenever possible. If your camera has a Wi-Fi functionality, you may want to
turn it off.
7. The PRO-XR system will automatically scan the 2.4 GHz environment each time it is powered on and choose
the best frequencies on which to connect. You can use this to your advantage; if you know of a trouble spot
because of its proximity to other 2.4 GHz equipment, turning on the PRO-XR system in a trouble spot will allow
it to better avoid frequencies that are already in use. If you encounter an area that causes frequent drop outs
while using the system, carry both PRO-XR units into the trouble spot, power off the units and then power them
on again. When the units pair up again they will avoid using any interfering frequencies in the area.
8. Do not use the 50 mW and 100 mW output powers at distances of less than 5 feet. Reserve their use for longer
distances, and to overcome physical obstacles to line-of-sight or challenging 2.4 GHz environments.
9. When using the PRO-XR with a DSLR or mirrorless camera, set the volume level of the receiver to its maximum
and then reduce the gain at the camera to get a strong audio signal without overloading. If additional reduction
in gain is still needed, back off the volume on the receiver until levels are optimized. In general, it is best to
engage the preamp on the camera as little as possible.
Reset Button
Both the transmitter and receiver have a recessed reset button located on the back. The reset button acts as a
backup to the power button’s “off” function. In case either unit’s power button is unresponsive, the reset button can
be used to power it off. To use the reset button, the unit must be powered on. Press the reset button by using a
thin, rigid object like a paper clip or tip of a pen; push and hold for 1 second and then release. The unit will power
off and need to be turned on again.
Transmitter Antennas
Flexible Antenna: Designed to be less obtrusive when wearing the transmitter on a belt, in a pocket, or under
clothing, the flexible antenna will perform well in most situations. This antenna is designed exclusively for use
with the transmitter and should not be used on the receiver.
High-Gain Antenna: The high-gain antenna can significantly improve wireless performance when used on the
transmitter. The only drawback is that it is more obtrusive than the flexible antenna, and may not be suitable for
use depending on the situation. However, we recommend the use of this antenna whenever possible,
especially in challenging environments, ie: areas with a high number of Wi-Fi signals, situations with
line-of-sight obstructions, and operation at long distances.
When placing the transmitter behind a person’s back, for best results use
the high-gain antenna and bend it away from the person’s body at a 45º
angle. (See Fig. 1).
