SYSTEM SETUP RULES

This section includes some basic rules that will ensure trouble-free operation of your LONG RANGER II

system:

1) Make sure the transmitter battery is good, or better yet, new.

2) Charge up the battery pack in the LONG RANGER II fully before you use the system. Charge

until the green charging lamp underneath the CH-40 jack on the LONG RANGER II control

panel goes out.

3) Set up the system so that the LONG RANGER II is as far from large metal surfaces as

possible. Metal surfaces under the unit (such as pickup truck cabs) are generally no problem

but large metal surfaces alongside the LONG RANGER II may interfere with reception.

4) If you have more than one transmitter on the same frequency, turn on only one transmitter at a

time. You cannot use the two transmitters at the same time with a single LONG RANGER II.

You will need to "alternate" back and forth between the transmitters. Failure to do so will result

in an obnoxious whining sound from the system, and the audio will probably not be

understandable.

5) Use the minimum volume that will enable everyone to hear. It doesn’t have to be loud to be

heard.

6) Always turn the power off before connecting or disconnecting external speakers.

7) The LONG RANGER II should be elevated for best coverage. The unit should ideally be at

least 2 feet higher than the audience. For example, with an audience standing on flat ground,

the number of people that can hear clearly will double if you raise the unit from 5 feet above

the ground to 7 feet above the ground.

8) During actual operation the LONG RANGER II should be located at least 20 feet away from the

person using the microphone and aimed so that the sound from the speaker is directed toward

the audience and away from the microphone. This will reduce feedback problems. "Feedback"

is a loud squealing sound coming from the speaker when the volume is too high or the

microphone is too close to the LONG RANGER II. Feedback is generally much more of a

problem when using lavalier (lapel) type microphones. The headset models are recommended

for use with the LONG RANGER II system since they place the microphone pickup much closer

to your mouth.
