3 Setting Up

L
• Before setting up your WMS 40 FLEXX, make sure to set the frequency selectors
on the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency (1, 2, or 3). If the trans-
mitter and receiver are tuned to different frequencies, no signal will be received!
• 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 PRO rack mounting kit. For instructions on how to rack mount the receiver, refer
to the RMU 40 PRO manual.
• Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and
other people may weaken or cancel the direct transmitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the trans-
mitter 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 objects, walls, scaf-
folding, 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 re-
ceiver 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.
L
• 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 identi-
L
cal 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 direction of the arrow.
3. Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function if you insert the battery the other way round.
4. Set the on/off switch (15)/(22) to "ON" to switch power to the transmitter on.
If the battery is in good condition, the status LED (16)/(23) will be lit green.
If the status LED (16)/(23) is lit red, the battery will be dead within about two hours. Re-
place the battery with a new one as soon as possible.
