Receiver Controls & Front Panel FIGURE 1 Power Button Press once to turn the unit on. To power the unit off, press and hold until the “X2” logo begins to cycle letting you know that the unit will now turn off. Channel Up & Down Buttons Press the UP button to select the next channel. Press the DOWN button to select the previous channel. Button sequence does not wrap around. For example, once CH5 is selected you must press the DOWN button four times to reach CH1.
Receiver Connections FIGURE 2 Antenna A & B Input Connector (BNC) Diversity antenna inputs A and B. For correct operation connect the supplied detachable antenna by pressing on the BNC connector and twisting clockwise for ~1/2 turn. NOTE: Antenna inputs ARE NOT DC biased. Cable Grip Thread the power supply cable into the CABLE GRIP to secure the connection as shown in figure 3. FIGURE 3 DC Power Input DC socket for connection of power supply, 9V DC 500 mA (supplied).
Antenna Installation How to Connect the Supplied Antenna Connect the supplied detachable antennas to the Antenna A and B inputs located on the back panel of the receiver and twist clockwise for ~1/2 turn as shown in figure 4. NOTE: Antenna inputs ARE NOT DC biased FIGURE 4 Preparing Rack Ears for Installation Connect the supplied BNC connector to each rack ear prior to installing the rack ears to the chassis. Make certain that the nut goes on the back side of the rack ear as shown in figure 5.
Front-mount Antenna Installation Connect the supplied BNC patch cables to the Antenna A and B inputs located on the back panel of the receiver and twist clockwise for ~1/2 turn then connect the other end to the BNC connector located on the back side of each rack ear and twist cloclwise for ~1/2 turn. Finally, connect the 1/2 wave antenna by pressing on the BNC connector on the front side of the rack ear and twisting clockwise for ~1/2 turn as shown in figure 7.
Handheld Transmitter Controls FIGURE 8 Power/Set Button Power Function: Press once to turn the unit on. Press and hold 3 seconds to turn the unit off. Set Function: This is used for controlling the LCD interface. Use this button to put the transmitter in different modes of operation, accept selected values or to exit without making any changes. Select Button This is used for controlling the LCD interface. Use this button to make parameter selections or increase a value.
Handheld LCD Interface Operation - Edit Channel Press Set once to put the transmitter in Channel Select mode (“ch. 5” will continuously blink). Press Select once to choose this mode (”Ch.” will stay solid and the “5” will blink). Press Select again to choose the desired channel. Once you’ve made your final selection, press Set once to put the transmitter on the new channel (”Ch. 5” will blink twice giving you visual confirmation of your selection and will automatically return to Main View).
Preparing the Handheld Transmitter for Use FIGURE 10 Battery Installation Remove battery cover by turning counter-clockwise and pulling down. Install the two supplied AA alkaline batteries observing correct polarity. Then close the battery compartment by turning clockwise until secure. NOTE: Do not over tighten.
Bodypack Transmitter Controls FIGURE 11 Power Button Press once to turn the unit on. Press and hold to turn the unit off. Channel Select Button Press the CH SEL button to select the next channel. Button sequence will wrap around. For example, once CH5 is selected you must press the CH SEL button one time to reach CH1. Receiver must be set to the same channel as the corresponding transmitter in order to operate correctly.
Changing Transmitter Operating Mode To change the operating mode: power the unit off, press and hold the Channel DOWN button (left button) and power up. The unit will remain in the newly chosen and displayed mode until you repeat this process.
Transmitter Connectors FIGURE 13 Threaded Sleeve Secure the 1/8” TRS unbalanced jack plug in place by screwing down the threaded sleeve onto the input jack socket threads and turn approximately two times. Jack Plug For correct operation, the jack plug must be inserted all the way into the jack socket with the threaded sleeve securely fastened to the threaded input jack socket. Threaded Input Jack Socket Make certain that a secure connection is made for trouble-free operation.
Preparing the Transmitter for Use Battery Installation Step 1: Press and slide the battery door open and connect the 9V battery as shown in figure 14. FIGURE 14 Step 2: Insert the battery into the compartment and close the battery door then secure the door by sliding shut as shown in figure 15. FIGURE 15 Battery Life Fresh Alkaline batteries should last about ~5.5 hours in the XDT4. NiCad rechargeable batteries will only last about 3.5 hours. Standard batteries are not recommended.
Transmitter Mounting Options Attaching the Beltpack to Clothing The bodypack transmitter is attached to clothing (e.g. guitar strap, belt, waistband) with the supplied belt clip as shown in figure 16. The clip is detachable so that you can also attach the bodypack transmitter with the input jack facing downwards. To do so, remove the clip and remount it reversing the orientation as shown in figure 17.
Troubleshooting Issue Cause See Solution... No sound. System not turned on. Source malfunction. Improper connection or improper channel selection. Expired battery. Power, Signal Source, Cables or RF Intermittent sound or distorted sound. Source malfunction. Improper connection. Multiple transmitters are set to the same operating channel. Transmitter has gone out of range. Transmitting through metal wall. Unknown source of RF in local area. Signal Source, Cables or RF Lack of range.
Optimizing Performance RF Interference An X2 Digital transmission is not susceptible to interference in the traditional ‘analog’ wireless sense. An X2 receiver will only pass digital data that originated from an X2 transmitter set to the same operating channel. If this transmitter has a custom encryption scheme, a standard X2 receiver will no longer be able to recognize or reproduce the signal.
Warranty Information X2 Warranty Policy X2 will repair or replace any defective system within the first two years free of charge. X2 will cover 2-day return shipping costs in the continental United States. This warranty is transferable, but does not cover abused systems. Terms and conditions subject to change without notice.

Q-DiversityPLUS™ Frequency Diversity Technology What is it? A dual-frequency broadcast system that maximizes data isolation from undesired interference. It can also be thought of as two completely separate ‘true-diversity’ systems operating in tandem. RX 1 and 4 work together to receive the lower frequency while RX 2 and 3 work together to receive the upper frequency. What does it do? Allows XDR95 to provide reliable performance under adverse RF conditions.
