QuickStart
Samson AirLine
If you've had some prior experience using wireless systems, these QuickStart instructions will get you up and running with your AirLine sys-
tem in a matter of minutes! Detailed instructions for setting up and using your AirLine system can be found on page 17 of this manual, and
the "Guided Tour" sections on pages 6 - 16 provide full descriptions of all AirLine component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the supplied receiver and AX1 or AL1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.
2. Physically place the receiver where it will be used and extend its antenna(s) vertically.
3. Set the power switch to your transmitter to the "off" position (away from the arrow) and place a fresh battery in it. Then turn the trans-
mitter back on momentarily; its LED will flash once and then go off if the battery is sufficiently strong. Once battery strength is verified, turn
the transmitter off.
4. If you are using an AX1, plug its XLR connector into a wired dynamic microphone; make a good tight connection, using the supplied
rubber gasket if necessary. If you are using the AL1 with an external lavalier microphone, make the physical connection between its input
connector and the microphone.
5. Turn your audio system off and make the physical cable connection between the receiver's balanced or unbalanced output jack (if nec-
essary, both can be used simultaneously) and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. If your system contains a CR77 or UM1
receiver, be sure to set its Audio Output Level switch correctly.
6. Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the receiver
and plug it in (or place a fresh battery in the UM1 receiver), but leave its power off for the moment.
7. Turn on the receiver. If your system contains a CR77 receiver, its "Power" LED will light steadily red. (Note: the UM1 receiver has no such
LED.)
