The LED display

The red LED · provides information on the operat ing state of the

transmit ter.

Red LED lights up normally: The t ransmitt er is swit ched on and the

capacitiy of t he battery is sufficient (ON).

Red LED is flashing:

The batt ery is going flat

(LOW BATT)!

Red LED lights up brightly: The transmitter is fully modulated (PEAK).

Preparing the t ransmitt er for use

Inserting and changing the battery

For powering the t ransmitt er, use a 1.5 V AA size alkaline-manganese

batt ery.

̈ Open t he bat tery compart ment by

pushing the two catches ¶ in t he

direct ion of t he arrows and open t he

cover ².

̈ Insert the bat tery as shown in t he

diagram on t he left . Please observe

correct polarit y when insert ing t he

battery.

̈ Close the batt ery compartment.

Connecting the microphone

The t ransmitt er is designed for use with Sennheiser lavalier microphones

and headmics (-4 versions). The power supply of these microphones is vi a

the microphone input ³ of t he transmitter.

̈ Connect the microphone to t he microphone

input ³ of the transmit ter.

̈ Screw down t he coupling ring.

Connecting the antenna

The transmit ter is supplied with a plug-on ant enna.

̈ Connect t he antenna to t he antenna socket »

of t he t ransmitt er.

̈ Screw down t he coupling ring.

Attaching the transmitter to clothing

The t ransmitt er is att ached to clot hing (e.g.

belt , waistband) wit h the supplied belt clip.

The clip is det achable so t hat you can also

attach the transmit ter with the antenna

pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the

clip from its fixing points and attach it the

other way round.

Using t he transmitt er

Switching the t ransmit ter on/ off

̈ Open the bat tery compartment.

̈ To switch t he transmitt er on, briefly

press t he ON/ OFF but ton µ.

The red LED· lights up normall y and

t he st andard display is shown on the LC

display panel ¿; after a short pause,

“RF” appears on the LC display panel.

Not e:

! Remove the batt ery when the transmitt er will not be used for exten-

ded periods of time.

! The t ransmitter can only be swit ched off when t he lock mode is

deactivated (see “The automatic lo c k m ode (auto l o c k f u n cti o n )” o n

page 13).

̈ To swit ch t he t ransmitt er off, press the

Doing a frequency check

The transmit ter has a frequency check mode that prevent s the t ransmitt er

transmit ting on an unwanted frequency after swit ch-on.

̈ When swit ching on the transmit ter, keep

t he ON/ OFFbut ton µ pressed.

The current frequency is displayed on the

LC display panel ¿ wit hout t he transmit -

Tips for opt imum recept ion

! Transmission range depends t o a large extent on location and on t he

selected output power. There should be a “free line of sight ” between

transmit ting and receiving antennas.

! To avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of

5 m between transmit ting and receiving antennas.

Tips for multi-channel operat ion

! When operating a mult i-channel system, make sure t o only use

intermodulation-free frequencies.
