Miscellaneous Tips
The receiver antennas should be kept •
away from any metal surfaces whenever
possible as they can reflect away or shield
the incoming RF signal.
When inserting batteries, make sure they •
are inserted with the correct polarity.
Before operation, confirm that the receiver •
and associated transmitter are tuned to
the same frequency/channel.
After making a receiver channel change, •
make sure that the corresponding change
is also made on the matching transmitter.
Use only fresh alkaline or fully charged •
NiMH batteries. Do not use “general
purpose” carbon batteries. When batteries
are weak, replace all of them at the same
time. Do not mix new and old batteries,
or different types of batteries.
Position the receiver so it has the least •
possible obstructions between it and the
transmitter. Line-of-sight is best.
During operation, the transmitter and •
receiver should be as close as possible
to each other for optimal results.
Although placement of the receiver on •
the floor provides good performance in
most applications, for best operation the
receiver should be placed at least 3 feet
(1 meter) above the ground and 3 feet
(1 meter) away from a wall or metal
surfaces. The transmitter should also be
at least 3 feet (1 meter) from the receiver.
Keep antennas away from noise sources
such as motors, automobiles, neon light,
signal processors, computers, and large
metal objects.
A receiver cannot receive signals from •
two or more transmitters simultaneously.
Turn the transmitter off when it is not in •
use. For longest life, remove the batteries
if the unit is not going to be used for a
long period of time as the transmitters
draw a tiny residual current even when
off in order to maintain the programmed
settings. Also, since batteries installed
for a long time can sometimes corrode
and/or leak, causing damage, it is
generally recommended that batteries
be removed whenever the transmitters
are not being used.
When using the MT-16A/R with guitars •
and basses: Scratchy noises can
sometime occur when electric guitars
with dirty pots or connections are used
with a wireless system. If you hear
scratchy noises, we suggest these steps
to eliminate them:
1) Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots
are clean and all contacts are solid. This is
very important.
2) Consider soldering a 47pF capacitor
across the pot to ground terminal of the
guitar’s volume and tone pots—this will
provide extra filtering.
