CAUTION: Please make sure that the AC adapter is the cor-  
rect voltage for your local requirements.  
4. ClearScan: The FMR-10 Wireless system features  
ClearScan. ClearScanautomates the process of finding a  
clear channel to use in setup of your FMR-10 Wireless system. To  
use ClearScan, depress and hold down the set button for 3 sec-  
onds. When the channel display begins flashing release the set  
button. The receiver is now searching for a clear frequency by  
measuring the RF energy present on each channel. The entire pro-  
cess will take about 5 seconds. While scanning, the channel dis-  
play will show the channel number being scanned. When  
ClearScanis complete, the display will stop flashing and it will  
display the number of the channel recommended for use.  
NOTE: If using more than one FMR-10 system, set up ONE sys-  
tem at a time. Turn on the transmitter for the first system, before  
using ClearScanto set up the second. Please see the “Guide-  
line/Recommendations for best performance” section of the  
FMR-10 User’s Guide to set up more than two systems.  
5.  
Setting the Channel: Changing the channel on the receiver can  
also be done manually. By momentarily depressing the set but-  
ton, the channel number is increased by one.  
NOTE: when the system is turned off, the channel number is  
saved in non-volatile memory. When the receiver is turned on, it  
will return to the same channel number.  
6.  
Channel Change Lock-out: Once the channel has been set on  
the receiver, the FMR-10 system has the capability to deactivate  
or lock-out the channel change button. This is done by depressing  
the set button for 10 seconds or more. Lock-out is active when the  
decimal point illuminates in the lower right corner of the channel  
display. This will defeat the set button. To override or defeat the  
lockout function, again depress the set button for10 seconds. This  
will reactivate the channel set button to work normally. This  
function can be useful where unauthorized personnel have access  
to the receiver.  
-5-

NOTE: If the system is in “lock-out”, ClearScanwill not function.  
7. Make sure the gain setting is muted or turned down on the mixer  
or amp channel you will connect the wireless system to.  
8. Plug the audio cable (not supplied) into the output connector.  
NOTE: The 3-pin XLR-type connector output level is fixed, and  
cannot be adjusted.  
Now refer to details located in the FMR-10 User’s Guide on  
how to set up the transmitter.  
Once the Transmitter has been set-up, and turned on...  
9. Speak or sing loudly into the microphone and observe the Audio  
level meter on the receiver. Adjust the gain control on the trans-  
mitter to prevent over or under modulation. The gain should be  
adjusted so that the signal peaks are no more than -10dB and that  
there is at least -20dB or audio level meter indication.  
10. “Walk” the expected area of use to check for dropouts or interfer-  
ence. To minimize the potential for dropouts or interference,  
please observe good antenna placement. When the transmitter is  
turned on, the RF meter on the receiver should be illuminated in  
the green range to verify it is receiving a strong signal.  
11.  
Adjust the squelch control if necessary. The squelch control on  
the back of the receiver may be adjusted to effectively increase  
range or to reduce interference. The factory setting is at a mid-  
point, which should be suitable for most situations. To effectively  
increase range, turn the control counter-clockwise until you hear  
noise or interference, then, turn the squelch clockwise until the  
noise is muted. To reduce interference, turn the control clock-  
wise.  
NOTE: If the squelch is being adjusted, the transmitter should be  
turned off.  
CAUTION! Increasing the range will make the system more  
susceptible to outside interference! Reducing interference  
will also effectively decrease the range, which will make the  
system more susceptible to dropouts.

3.1.1 Rack Mount Installation  
The FMR-10 is supplied with rack mounts for single and double mount-  
ing in a standard EIA 19”/ 483mm equipment rack (see Figure 3).  
For rack mounting a single unit, a long and short “ear” are used. For  
dual side-by-side mounting, use the short “ears” and the mid sized  
brackets from two FMR-10 as shown.  
To assemble the rack mount adapters to the unit(s) and install into a  
rack, proceed as follows:  
1. Remove thefront Phillips head screws from each side of each unit.  
2. Align the correct rack ear or bracket with the holes on the side of  
the unit. Install the previously removed screws. Insert an addi-  
tional screw (provided in the parts pack) into the remaining hole.  
Repeat this step for the opposite side of the unit. Be sure to tighten  
all screws securely.  
For double mounting of two systems, proceed as follows:  
1. Align the mid-sized brackets (Item #2) with the holes on the adja-  
cent sides of each unit.

3.1.2 Antenna Placement  
For any wireless system to perform correctly, strong RF signals are  
mandatory. To maximize signal strength, good antenna placement  
must be utilized. Although some situations prohibit perfect antenna  
placement, here are some guidelines:  
1. The antennas should be placed in a location with a clear signal  
path to the transmitter. Walls, ceilings, metal objects, equipment  
racks, etc. are all signal barriers that will reduce range and perfor-  
mance. Generally speaking, placing the receiver at an elevated lo-  
cation can help increase range and signal strength.  
Figure 5  
1/2-Wave antenna for Remote Mounting  
Figure 6  
2.  
If the receiver is rack-mounted, external antennas are neces-  
sary. Do not rack mount the FMR-10 with the antennas  
mounted directly on the back of the unit. This will severely  
decrease the range and performance of the system.  
If the FMR-10 is rack-mounted, make sure the antennas are  
front-mounted (following the directions noted above). If anten-  
nas are mounted remotely from the chassis, the 1/4-wave anten-  
nas supplied with the receiver cannot be used. 1/2-wave antennas  
are a necessity if the antennas are remote-mounted and can pro-  
vide better performance when used with the rack mount.  
-9-  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If antennas are remote-mounted, separating them 6 feet (1.8m) or  
more and keeping them at least 2 feet (.6m) from other barriers will  
improve performance (see Figure 8). If you are remote mounting  
the antennas and require strong signal over a large area, consider  
using highly directional antennas such as a log-periodic. The  
ALP-450 available from Telex is tuned for frequencies from  
450-900 MHz and can provide an additional 5 dB of gain.  
3. If you remote-mount the antennas, attention should be paid to the  
type and quality of the antenna cable. For cable runs longer than  
25-ft. (7.6m), special low-loss cables should be used.

minimize antenna interference. A multi-coupler has one set of an-  
tennas and distributes RF signal to multiple systems. The Telex  
will supply antenna signal and DC power to 4 systems, eliminat-  
ing 3 external power supplies and 6 antennas.

Set handheld transmitter channel to match the channel setting  
on the receiver (channel number displayed on front of receiver  
panel). The channel setting on the handheld transmitter is ac-  
cessed through the round opening on the side of the mic housing.  
Numbers 0 - 9 are printed around the opening. The channel set-  
ting is determined by which number the arrowed slot is pointing  
to. Use a small screwdriver (supplied) to change the channel set-  
ting. See Figure 10.  
Turn on the transmitter by sliding the power switch (closest to  
the battery compartment) forward to the ON position (toward the  
windscreen). The red battery condition light should flash once  
and then go out. If the red light stays on or illuminates during a  
performance, the battery should be replaced immediately. The  
green light will stay lit when the handheld transmitter is on.  
Note: Remember to turn the transmitter OFF when not in use.  
This will conserve battery life.

Verify Reception. When the transmitter is turned on: (FMR-10)  
the RF meter will illuminate, indicating that the receiver is pick-  
ing up the signal. If this does not happen, make sure that the trans-  
mitter and receiver are set to the same channels.  
Unmute the audio by sliding the audio switch (immediately be-  
low the mic element) towards the windscreen. Speak or sing into  
the microphone and you should hear your voice through the PA /  
sound system.  
Adjustment of the transmitter audio gain - if necessary. The  
transmitter audio gain is set to a mid level which should be suit-  
able for most situations. However, for loud or soft speakers or  
singers, an adjustment may be necessary. First, speak or sing into  
the microphone and listen closely. If the gain is too high, you will  
hear distortion, and if the gain is too low, the signal will be low. In  
either situation, an adjustment may be necessary.  
To adjust the transmitter gain, gently insert the provided screw-  
driver (or other 3/32-in./2.4mm screwdriver) into the hole near  
the head of the transmitter (see Figure 12). Turn lightly until the  
screwdriver tip drops into the slot in the level control. Gently turn  
counterclockwise until the control stops (the mic output is attenu-  
ated but not “off”). Slowly turn the mic-level control up while lis-  
tening to the audio. If the audio becomes distorted, turn the mic  
level control down (counter-clockwise) about 1/8 turn.  
Note: Operate with the transmitter audio gain set as high as possi-  
ble without distortion, for the best signal to noise ratio.  
7.  
Test performance. Check to see that the RF meter on the  
FMR-10 receiver is illuminated, an indication that the receiver is  
picking up the signal. Then, “walk” the intended area of use and  
make sure that there are no barriers to reception or sources of in-  
terference. If problems are encountered, see Troubleshooting  
Guide.

door and pushing down, see Figure 11. When inserting the bat-  
tery, pay attention to the polarity (+/-) and insert the terminals  
into the battery compartment first. Close the battery door by slid-  
ing the door shut.  
2.  
Set the transmitter channel to match the channel setting on the  
receiver. The channel switch on the bodypack is located just un-  
derneath the battery door, and to the right of the indent labeled  
OPEN. Note the channel number label (0-9) surrounding the  
opening. The bodypack channel must be set to the same number  
as the receiver channel, which is displayed on the receiver front  
panel. The channel setting is determined by which number the  
arrowed slot is pointing to. Use a small screwdriver (supplied)  
to change the channel setting.

Verify reception. When the transmitter is turned on: (FMR-10)  
the RF meter will illuminate, indicating that the receiver is pick-  
ing up the signal. If this does not happen, make sure that the trans-  
mitter and receiver are set to the same channels.  
Connect the audio source. If using a lavalier or headworn mi-  
crophone, insert the connector on the end of the mic wire, into the  
connector on the bodypack. If using a lavalier mic, use the clip to  
attach the mic to the users clothing. If using the headworn mic,  
place the headset on the user’s head, positioning the mic at the  
corner of their mouth.  
Note: Keep the audio muted while plugging in and adjusting  
the microphone or source. Placement of lavalier and headworn  
microphones will noticeably change the sound quality, so some  
testing with the user is necessary. An important point to remember,  
the closer to the sound source, the stronger or louder the signal.  
6.  
Unmute the audio, by sliding the large AUDIO switch located on  
the bodypack, to the ON position. Speak or sing into the microphone  
and you should hear your voice through the PA / sound system.  
7. Listen carefully to the audio and be sensitive of overload distor-  
tion and low gain.

vided screwdriver or other 3/32-in. 2.4mm screwdriver into the  
gain adjustment located at the top edge of the battery compart-  
ment under the door (see Figure 11). The door has to be opened  
but not swung upward to make adjustments. Turn lightly until the  
screwdriver tip drops into the slot on the level control. Gently turn  
the control counterclockwise until the control stops (the audio  
output is attenuated but not “off”). Slowly turn the audio level  
control clockwise while listening to audio; if the audio becomes  
distorted, turn the mic level control counter-clockwise about 1/8  
turn.  
9.  
Test performance. Check to see that the RF meter on the  
FMR-10 receiver is illuminated, an indication that the receiver is  
picking up the signal. Then, “walk” the intended area of use and  
make sure that there are no barriers to reception or sources of in-  
terference. If problems are encountered, see Troubleshooting  
Guide.  
10.  
Clip the bodypack to the user’s belt or pocket. The bodypack  
can be positioned horizontally or vertically by moving the belt  
clip attachment. This is done by removing the belt clip attachment  
screw, rotating the clip to the desired position, and replacing the  
screw.

Multiple Systeem Setup & ClearScan™  
ClearScanis most useful for finding operating frequencies for situ-  
ations where no more than 2 systems will be used simultaneously.  
When setting up more than 2 systems, use ClearScanto choose the  
first channel of operation. Set up subsequent systems following the  
channel groupings listed above in the “Using Multiple Wireless Sys-  
tems” section.  
Potentiial Sourcees of Inteerrference  
There are many potential sources of interference for your wireless  
system. Any electronic product that contains digital circuitry includ-  
ing digital signal processors (reverb/multi-effects units), electronic  
keyboards, digital lighting controllers, CD players and computers, all  
emit RF energy that can adversely affect the performance of your  
wireless system. It is always best to place your receiver as far away  
from these devices as possible to minimize this potential source of  
problems.

Battery RRecommmendaattions  
Fresh 9-volt alkaline batteries from a quality manufacturer will yield  
the best performance from your FMR-10 transmitters. Rechargeable  
8.4-volt Ni-cad batteries can be used, but will yield much shorter op-  
erational time.  
When the transmitter switch is turned on, the red battery light will  
flash once if the battery is good. If the light does not flash or stays lit  
continuously, the battery is weak or dead. If the light comes on during  
use, the battery is weakening and should be replaced as soon as possi-  
ble.  
If sound quality degrades during use, it may be the result of a weaken-  
ing battery.  
Receiver and Antenna Placement  
Do not place the receiver near a large metal object or surface.  
Locate the receiver as close as possible to the area where the Trans-  
mitter user will be working. Ideally, position the receiver so that the  
transmitter is within site of the receiver.  
When using multiple systems, do not allow antennas to cross or touch  
each other.

Another wireless product in the  
immediate area, operating on the  
same frequency, or on a fre-  
quency that mixes with another  
RF signal (such as a TV broad-  
cast transmitter).  
Change operating frequency. If inter-  
ference is weak, keep transmitter on at  
all times (to override interfering sig-  
nal) whenever receiver is on.  
Receiver placed too close to a  
digital signal processor or simi-  
lar device.  
Move receiver to a different location  
Strong electromagnetic field  
from stage lighting or other  
source near the transmitter or re-  
ceiver, which may be producing  
RF noise on or near the operat-  
ing frequency.  
Change operating frequency. Repair or  
remove source of interference. Move  
receiver to a different location.  
Short range or drop-outs  
RF reflective metal obstacles  
between transmitter & receiver.  
Move the obstacles, or reposition the  
receiver
