DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO
Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless system that receives signals with two independent antennae. With diversity
wireless the receiver processes the stronger signal, effectively minimizing dropouts and interference from other transmitting sources. The
antennae are mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage.
CARING FOR YOUR BUILT-IN BATTERIES
It is very important that you fully charge the batteries in your new sound system before the first time its used. To preserve battery life it is also
recommended that batteries be fully charged as soon as possible after every use regardless of the length of operation.
