Frequently Asked Questions - PD781 Power Dynamics

How to turn on the PD781 system?

Press the Power ON/OFF switch on the receiver, then on the transmitter. The LCD screen lights up and the system sets to the last used channel.

How to pair the transmitter with the receiver?

Set the same channel number on both transmitter and receiver using the Up and Down buttons. The RF indicator lights up when the link is established.

What type of batteries to use in the handheld transmitter?

Use two 1.5 V alkaline batteries type R6 (AA). Observe the polarity indicated in the compartment.

What to do if the sound is cut off or low?

Check that the transmitter is on (red LED) and that Mute is disabled. Increase the volume on the receiver and amplifier. Make sure the frequencies match.

How to reduce radio interference?

Move the receiver away from RF sources (other microphones, phones). Place antennas at 45° and avoid metal surfaces. Change channel if necessary.

What is the maximum range of the system?

In open field, the range can reach about 50 meters. Indoors, it may be reduced by obstacles.

Can I use a lavalier microphone with the PD781?

Yes, the PD781 is compatible with the optional bodypack transmitter (ref. PDB3) and lavalier or headset microphones. Connect the microphone to the audio input of the transmitter.

How to clean the microphone?

Use a soft, dry cloth. Never use liquids or solvents. For the grille, you can dust it with a soft brush.

What to do if sound is lost while moving?

Identify dead zones by testing before use. Move the receiver and avoid these areas. Ensure the antenna is properly positioned.

How to store the system during prolonged inactivity?

Remove the batteries from the transmitter to prevent leakage. Store the receiver in a dry, dust-free place. Unplug the power adapter.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

1. Receiver power connection: Connect the AC adapter into the DC power connector on the back of the receiver. Plug the AC adapter into a AC230V 50Hz outlet.

1. Antenna: Keep the position of antenna at a 45^ angle from vertical. Shown as below.

1. Audio connection: Connect the audio cable from the audio output on the receiver to the input on your amplifier equipment.

OPERATION

Turn off the system first, turn down the receivers volume to the minimum and then turn on the receiver, CPU initializes, the LCD screen begins to display and the system reverts to the last shutdown's state!

Tune to the desired frequency of the receiver and observe the RF- and AF signal level. If the signal level is displayed it means the receiver has interference from other signals or noise. The system has a mute circuit to avoid interference noise. If interfere with each other occurs it is recommended to use other frequencies.

If the system is turned on look at the transmitter and receiver's frequency.

Then the receiver display shows RF signal level value, the antenna status will display antenna A or B. Adjust the volume to the desired level.

Volume adjustment

Adjust the receiver's volume to the 12 o'clock position, then adjust the volume of the amplifier or mixer to a desired level. If the receiver volume has been adjusted too loud the amplifier will produce a saturated distortion which will blow the amplifier or/and the loudspeaker(s)!

Best acoustics:

1. You should always see the receiver antenna from your transmitter location.
2. The distance between transmitter and receiver should be as short as possible.
3. If the receiver has two antennas, they should be adjusted 45^ with a vertical line.
4. Keep the antennas away from metal surfaces and shelter.
5. Let the antennas not contact or cross each other.
6. Before using the system during the presence of public do a test to find out where the "dead spots" are. Avoid these spots when operational.

No sound	Receiver signal indicators A/B lights off. Transmitter and receiver POWER light glowing.	Confirm transmitters and receivers frequencies match. Move transmitter closer to receiver.
Sound level differs from level of a cabled instrument.	Receiver signal indicators A/B lights glowing.	Adjust transmitter gain level to compessary. Adjust receiver volume as necessary.
Distortion level increases gradually	Receiver signal indicators A/B lights and transmitter LOW BATTERY light glowing	Replace transmitter battery
Bursts of noise or other audible radio signals present.	Signal indicators A/B/ lights on.	Identify potential sources of interferences (other RF-sources) and turn off, remove or use a wireless system operating on a different frequency.
Momentary loss of sound as transmitter is moved around performing area.	Receiver signal indicator A/B lights of when sound is lost	Reposition receiver and perform walk-through test again. If audio dropouts persist, mark “dead” spots and avoid them during performance.
