3 Setting Up

• Before setting up your WMS 40 FLEXX, make sure to set the fre-
quency selectors on the transmitter and receiver to the same fre-
quency (1, 2, or 3). If the transmitter and receiver are tuned to
different frequencies, no signal will be transmitted!
• Never use the two audio outputs (BALANCED and UNBALANCED)
simultaneously! This may cause signal loss or increased noise.
• You can either use the receiver freestanding or mount it in a 19" rack
using the optional RMU 40 rack mounting kit. For instructions on how
to rack mount the receiver, refer to the RMU 40 manual.
• Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects
of musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the direct trans-
mitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure,
though, that the transmitter will never get any closer to the receiver
than 10 ft. (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the
transmitter.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal ob-
jects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
1. Use a standard XLR cable to connect the BALANCED output (10) on
the receiver rear panel to a balanced XLR microphone input on the
mixer.
2. Turn the VOLUME control (7) on the receiver front panel all the way
CCW to set the receiver output to microphone level.
1. Use a standard 1/4" jack cable to connect the UNBALANCED jack
(11) on the receiver rear panel to an unbalanced 1/4" line input on the
mixer.
2. Turn the VOLUME control (7) on the receiver front panel all the way
CW to set the receiver output to line level.
• To avoid hum interference, do not use audio cables longer than
10 feet (3 m)!
1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power
supply is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you
will use your system. Using the power supply with a different AC
voltage may cause damage to the unit.
2. Point the antennas (1) upward.
3. Plug the feeder cable on the included power supply into the DC ONLY
socket (13) on the receiver.
4. Bend part of the feeder cable into a small bight, pass the bight through
the strain relief (12) from above, and slip the bight over the hook on the
strain relief (12). Tighten the cable.
5. Plug the AC adapter into a convenient power outlet.
6. To switch power to the receiver on, press ON/OFF (2). To switch power
to the receiver off, press ON/OFF (2) again.
1. Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment lid (20)/(28).
2. Pull the battery compartment lid (20)/(28) off the transmitter in the di-
rection of the arrow.
