Samson UM1 Wireless System and the XL-1

Hello, I just purchased the Samson UM1 Wireless System (with Q Mic) to use with my XL-1 via XLR adapter. There are couple of issues that I encountered when I tested it. First of all, the audio comes in the camcorder only on left (or right) channel depends on what XLR input that I pluged the connector to. I thought that it'll be L and R channel audio. How would I make that to be stereo? Secondly, for some reasons, when I shoot outside, even the mic transmitter is off while the receiver is still on, I could still hear the hist in the background. Samson claims that the UM1 produces no hist, no drops out... Anyone experienced this? I'm desparated for help... What the solution for my problems? Do I need a field mixer? Do I need another boom Mike? or Do I need another audio system (wired system, maybe)?? Please, please help!! Thank you very much!
