   • The power of the receiver turns on.
4. Press the [SCAN] button to enter scan mode
   • The channel with the least radio interference is found automatically. When scan is complete, the channel indicator shows the channel that was found.

Preparing the transmitter

1. Install battery
2. Connect a dynamic mic
   • Condenser mics cannot be used.
3. Long-press the [POWER] button of the transmitter until the POWER indicator is lit
   • The power of the transmitter turns on.
4. Use the [CH] () buttons to select the same channel as the receiver.
   • When holding the mic, do not grasp the transmitter portion. Doing so might cause faulty operation or malfunction.
     
   • If attaching to a mic stand, use a clip-type mic holder.

Selecting the Receiver’s Channel

Selecting the Channel Automatically (Scan Mode)

Scan mode automatically selects the channel that has the least radio frequency interference.

• Use scan mode to re-select the channel before your actual live performance, or when you are in a new location.
• If other wireless systems will be in use nearby, put them in operating condition.

1. Power-off the transmitter.
2. Press the [SCAN] button to enter scan mode.

The channel with the least radio interference is automatically selected. When scan is complete, the channel indicator shows the channel that was found.

If numerous wireless systems or radio devices (such as Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth devices) are operating nearby, there might be radio interference on all channels. Power-off unused radio devices, and then use scan mode once again to select a channel.

MEMO
You can also use the [CH] () buttons to change to another channel.

3. Power-on the transmitter. 

Selecting the Channel Manually

If you already know the channel that can be used, you can select the channel manually

1. Use the [CH] () buttons to select a channel.

Selecting the Transmitter’s Channel

1. Use the [CH] (
2. ) buttons to select the same channel as the receiver.

Preventing Unintentional Operation (Lock)

To prevent unintentional operation, you can lock all button operations of the receiver and transmitter respectively

1. . Simultaneously hold down the [CH] () button and [CH] ( ) button of the receiver/transmitter until the channel indicator blinks “L.”

All button operations are disabled. If you press a button while the unit is locked, the channel indicator blinks “L.”

To unlock, simultaneously hold down the [CH] () button and [CH] () button of the receiver/transmitter until the channel indicator blinks “v.

For Stable Wireless Communication

• Do not place obstructions between the receiver and the transmitter. Do not allow too much distance between the receiver and transmitter.
• Keep the receiver at least three meters (9.8 feet) away from any radio device (*1) or microwave oven.
• Dropouts might occur in the audio if the radio conditions in the area change. Use scan mode once again to select the channel. If this does not solve the problem, power-off any unused radio device (*1) or microwave oven, and use scan mode once again to select the channel.
• If you hear the sound of a different mic, use scan mode once again to select a different channel. If you are using multiple WL-30XLRT units simultaneously, manually select channels that do not conflict.

Such as a Wi-Fi router or Bluetooth device

Using multiple WL-30XLR units simultaneously

To prevent interference in the wireless communication, perform the following operations.

1. Power-off all receivers and transmitters.
2. If you are using other wireless equipment, make it ready for communication in advance.
   [First unit]
3. Power-on the receiver, and use scan mode to select a channel.
4.  Power-on the transmitter, and select the same channel as the receiver
   [Second and subsequent units]
5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4.
