CAUTION:

READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

1. To ensure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
2. Install your unit in a cool, dry, clean place - away from windows, heat sources, and too much vibration, dust, moisture or cold. Avoid sources of hum (transformers, electric motors). To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water.
3. Do not operate the unit upside-down.
4. Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.
5. Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Do not interfere with proper ventilation; this will cause the internal temperature to rise and may result in a failure.
6. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. When moving the unit, first turn the unit off. Then gently disconnect the power plug and the cords connecting to other equipment. Never pull the cord itself.
7. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical

solvents: this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

1. Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty.
2. This unit consumes a fair amount of power even when the power switch is turned off. We recommend that you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This will save electricity and help prevent fire hazards. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord.
3. To prevent lightning damage, pull out the power cord and remove the antenna cable during an electrical storm.
4. The general digital signals may interfere with other equipment such as tuners or receivers. Move the system farther away from such equipment if interference is observed.

Setting a Wireless Channel

Once the physical connections to the transmitters and receiver are made, the next step is establishing a wireless connection.

Selecting a Clear Channel on the IEM-900R receiver

Power ONLY the IEM-900R on; leave the IEM-900T transmitter powered off. Change the Channel by twisting the Channel Select knob (Item #4, pg 19). Observe the RF indicator light as the channel changes:

• If the LED stays on, the channel is not clear.
• If the LED blinks, the channel is not clear.
• If the LED stays off, the channel is clear and is good to use.

After a clear channel has been discovered, tune the IEM-900T transmitter to the same channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: There are 16 channels, does that mean I can have 16 sources all on their own channel?

A: If there was no frequency interference on any of the 16 channels then yes you can.

Q: The sound coming through the receiver is very low, what can I do?

A: Make sure the signal you are sending to the transmitter is strong and loud. You should be able to hear it through the AUX Loop Out on the transmitter. Then start with the volume on the transmitter up about half way, and turn on the receivers. Adjust from there.

Q: What kind of rechargeable batteries can be installed in IEM-900R Receiver?

A: Any type of rechargeable battery will work so long as they are AA. (i.e.: Lithium-Ion, Nickel Metal-Hydride, Nickel-Cadmium, etc.)

Q: What do I do if I'm missing components from my box?

A: Please call VocoPro regarding any missing or defective accessories at 1-800-678-5348.
