System Operating Frequencies
System Operating Frequencies
Each transmitter/receiver system operates on a choice of four switch-
selected frequencies. Available frequencies are shown below. All
frequencies may be combined for up to 4 simultaneous operating
channels.
Traveling frequencies normally work anywhere in the USA and Canada.
Not all frequencies available in all areas outside the US. Please check
with local regulations.

RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio ser
-
vices. According to Federal Communications Commission regulations,
“Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference
from other licensed operations within the band. If any interference is
received by any Government or non-Government operation, the wireless
microphone must cease operation...”
