QUICK SET UP AND OPERATION  
Synching Up The Transmitter and Base The synch operation only needs to be performed  
the first time a system is used, or a new bodypack is used with a base previously synched to  
another bodypack. Do not perform the synch operation multiple times; it only needs to  
be done one time when a new bodypack is used with a new base.  
1) Turn the transmitter power switch to ON and place the transmitter in the  
recharge cradle of the base. The transmitter goes in the base with the  
beltclip facing out.  
2) The recharge LED will light (Green if fully charged, Red if charging). Leave  
the transmitter in the cradle for 4 hours for a full charge.  
3) Press the In-Use button on the transmitter and hold until the In-Use LED on  
the transmitter and base start to flash, then release the button.  
4) After a few seconds the light will stop flashing, and a beep will sound (If the  
beep is enabled).  
5) The transmitter and base are now synched and will continue to be until  
another transmitter is linked to that base.  
Normal Operation  
1) With the transmitter synched up, remove it from the cradle, plug in the lapel  
microphone (if used) and place the transmitter on your belt.  
2) To start the recording, press the In-Use button and the In-Use LED will light a  
constant green and you will hear a short beep  
3) To end recording, press the In-Use button and the In-Use LED will turn off  
and you will hear a short beep.  
4) At the end of your shift turn the transmitter off and replace it in the charging  
cradle.  
Out of Range  
1) If you use the Transmitter too far away from the Receiver during recording,  
the transmitter will alert you with Audible warning beeps (two tone) and the  
In-Use LED will blink in red.  
2) Move closer to the receiver base and the link will be re-established once you  
return to normal range. The In-Use LED will light constant green when link is  
back to normal operation.  
3) If the link is not re-established within 30 seconds, the transmitter and receiver  
will return to standby mode.  
4) If you went out of range in Standby mode, or the unit reverted to standby  
mode, re-enter normal range and press the In-Use button. Operation will  
return to normal.  
5) If you will be out of range for a long period of time, turn the bodypack off.  
Low Battery Warning  
1) If the transmitter Low BATT indicator (red) starts flashing or you hear warning  
beeps, return the transmitter to its cradle on the receiver to fully charge the  
transmitter.  
2) The Charge LED indicator will light constant green when the unit is fully  
charged.

EMG Panic Button (if wired for use in your vehicle)  
1) The EMG or Panic Button can be programmed to do many things but may  
not be connected in your vehicle. Check with your technical department to  
understand what this button will control before you use it.  
2) In Record mode: Press the EMG button on the transmitter, a beep will sound  
and the relay will be triggered at the receiver.  
3) In Standby mode: Press the EMG button on the transmitter, a beep will  
sound, the green In-Use indicator will blink and the relay will be triggered at  
the receiver.  
Disabling the Beep Sound On the Transmitter  
1) All of the audible beep signals on the transmitter can be disabled by setting  
the BEEP switch to the off position.  
Auto Talk (if video recording equipment supports)  
1) The Auto Talk feature is used to turn on the microphone whenever the video  
recorder is turned on. Some video record units can be triggered by other  
events (lights and siren being turned on etc.) and Auto Talk ensures the  
microphone starts recording at the same time. The transmitter must be  
turned on and in standby mode.  
2) A +5V signal on the Auto Talk line means the microphone is off.  
3) 0V or ground on the Auto Talk line turns on the microphone  
INSTALLATION  
1. Wire the un-terminated signal wires to the control unit according to the signal chart. A 5  
Amp fast blow fuse is recommend in the 12VDC power supply line to protect the  
equipment.

4) Guidelines and recommendations for best performance.  
Compatibility  
The transmitter and receiver must synchronize to work together (see Synch process on page 3).  
The synch operation only needs to be performed the first time a system is used, or when a new  
bodypack is used with a base previously synched to another bodypack. Do not synch multiple  
times, just once until a new bodypack is used. Any PR24N can be synchronized with any  
PB24N base.  
Using Multiple Wireless Systems  
The PW24N system has 95 possible channels that are really different frequency hopping  
schemes. Each synchronized base and transmitter will automatically find a clear channel so up  
to 40 systems can work together in one location depending on other interference problems.  
Potential Sources of Interference  
There are many potential sources of interference for your wireless system. Any electronic  
product that contains digital circuitry including digital signal processors (reverb/multi-effects units),  
electronic keyboards, digital lighting controllers, CD and DVD players, and computers, all emit RF  
energy that can adversely affect the performance of your wireless system. It is always best to  
place the receiver as far away as possible from these devices to minimize potential problems.  
The PW24N operates in the 2.4MHz ISM band and other devices in that band may interfere. The  
spread spectrum technique used in the PW24N is very robust and should operate even in the  
presence of other 2.4MHz devices such as walkie-talkies, LANs, cordless phones, etc. in the  
area.  
Battery Recommendations  
The Lithium-Ion battery built into the PB24N transmitter will work at full capacity for over 500  
charge cycles. If you notice lower than usual battery life over time, it may be time to replace the  
cell.  
Warnings  
Do not use this product in or near water, i.e. near a bathtub, sink, or swimming pool.  
Do not use this product in the vicinity of a gas leak or to report a gas leak.
