Samson AirLine

The basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine System takes only a few minutes:

1.  For your AirLine system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same channel.  Remove all packing materi-

als (save them in case of need for future service) and check to make sure that the supplied receiver and transmitter are set to the same chan-

nel (a complete channel plan is printed on the inside back cover of this manual).  If these channels do not match, contact your distributor or, 

if purchased in the United States, Samson Technical Support at 1-800-372-6766.

2.  Physically place the receiver where it will be used (the general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver and trans-

mitter so that the person using or wearing the transmitter can see the receiver).  The CR77 can be rack-mounted if desired (taking a half-rack 

space), using an optional Samson adapter kit.  

3.  Extend the receiver antenna(s) and place it (them) in a vertical position.  Make sure the Power on-off switch in your AH1 transmitter is set 

to “Off.”

4.  Gently pry off the battery cover off the AH1 transmitter and slide it upwards and off to open the battery compartment.  Please use care 

when opening this cover as undue force will destroy the hinge.

5.  Place a fresh AAA alkaline battery in the transmitter battery compartment, taking care to observe the polarity markings.  Then replace the 

battery cover and gently press down on it until it clicks.  Leave the AH1 off for the moment.

6.  Make the physical cable connection between the receiver output jack and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer.  The bal-

anced XLR jack  is preferable, since it will deliver an electromagnetically cleaner signal.  If required, both the balanced and unbalanced out-

puts can be used simultaneously.  If your system contains a CR77 

receiver, be sure to set its Audio Output Level switch correctly (see

 

pages 7 and 9 for details).  Leave your amplifier (and/or mixer) off at this time.

7.  Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise.  Connect the supplied AC adapter to the CR77 

receiver and plug it in  

then plug the adapter into any standard AC outlet.  Slide the Power switch in the direction of the arrow to turn on

 the receiver.  If your system contains a CR77 receiver, its "Power" LED will light steadily red.
