System Components AL2 Transmitter AR2 Receiver 1/8” to XLR Audio Cable Owners Manual AirLine Micro Camera System AR2DT Dock AR2 Camera Mount 1/8” to 1/8” Audio Cable Carrying Case LM10 Lavaliere Microphone Universal AC Adaptor 3 Windscreens USB Y-Power Cable Note: Universal AC Adaptor works from 100V - 240V. Plug adaptors snap into place and can be changed by sliding the button below the plug. Each system is shipped with one plug adaptor specific to the country where the system is purchased.
Quick Start Please follow these basic procedures for setting up and using your AirLine Micro: 1. For your AirLine Micro system to work properly, both the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel. Remove all packing materials (save them in case your unit needs to be serviced in the future) and check to make sure that the supplied receiver and transmitter are on the same channel. Note: The channel number is laser-engraved on the back of the AR2 and AL2 chassis.
Quick Start 7. Turn on your AL2 transmitter by pressing and holding the Multi-Function Switch, until the Status Indicator LED flashes GREEN; then release it. The AL2 Status Indicator will now light steady GREEN. The AR2 receiver Status Indicator will change from YELLOW to GREEN, indicating that it is receiving a valid RF signal. 8.
Quick Start details). If you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level, make sure that the gain structure of your audio system and the Audio Output Level switch are set correctly. If the Audio Output Level switch is set correctly and the signal coming from the receiver is still weak and/or noisy, simply position the microphone closer to your mouth.
Guided Tour - AR2 Receiver 1. Antennas - The retractable antennas allow full rotation for optimum placement. In normal operation, both antennas should be fully extended and placed in a vertical position, as shown at right. 2. POWER Switch - Use this to turn the AR2 power on and off. 3. Status Indicator - This three-color LED acts as a multi-function meter, indicating power, transmitter tone-key status, transmitter mute, and transmitter peak.
Guided Tour - AR2 Receiver 4. Low Battery Indicator - This BLUE LED displays the status of the battery. The Low Battery Indicator will flash BLUE when the unit is on, and the battery is low. When recharging the AR2, the LED will light steady BLUE until the battery is fully charged, then the indicator will turn off. 5. Audio Output Level Switch - Sets the audio output level of the unbalanced output to microphone or line level. 6.
Guided Tour - AL2 Transmitter 1. Input Connector - Connect an input device. The AL2 is supplied with an LM10 lavaliere microphone connected via a locking 3.5mm mini-phone jack. 2. Multi-Function Switch - Press and hold this switch to turn the unit on or off. Press and release to mute or unmute the transmitter.
Guided Tour - AL2 Transmitter 3. Status Indicator - This LED displays the operation mode of the transmitter. GREEN Normal Operation Flashing GREEN Mute Flashing YELLOW Volume Adjustment Mode Fastest Flashing YELLOW Maximum Level Slowest Flashing YELLOW Minimum Level 4. Antenna - This permanently attached transmitter antenna should be fully extended during normal use (do not bend). 5. Low Battery Indicator - This BLUE LED displays the status of the battery.
Guided Tour - AL2 Transmitter 6. Attenuation Switch - The AL2 transmitter features a signal attenuation switch that is used to select the input level of “0dB” or “-15dB.” This attenuation switch has been factory preset to “0dB,” providing the optimum level for most situations. If you see the input of microphone repeatedly clipping the output, first try to adjust the gain control as described in step 2, above.
AR2DT Dock For added convenience and easy setup, we have included the AR2DT dock. To use the dock, please follow these steps: 1. Slide the AR2 receiver until fully seated into the section of the AR2DT with the USB and 3.5mm connectors. 2. The AL2 will fit into the side with the cutout. Push the AL2 into the dock until it is completely inserted. Make sure that the USB connector on the dock and USB power inlet on the transmitter are facing the same direction (as shown on right). 3.
AR2 Camera Mount Follow these steps to mount the AR2 onto a camera: 1. Slide the AR2 Camera Mount into the camera’s standard hot shoe mounting point, and lock the Camera Mount in place by tightening the knurled washer. 2. Insert the AR2 receiver into the Camera Mount so that the antennas are facing the front of the mount. Fully extend the two antennas. 3. Connect the AR2 audio output to the camera’s audio input using the supplied 3.5mm or XLR cable.
