Setting up the Transmitter

HT‑1KU Handheld

Microphone Transmitter

Buttons Function

The RF Power Level Switch (33) is used to select Hi/Low power transmission.

Each time the Set Button (32) is pressed, the LCD menu will cycle in the following order:

MAIN MENU > VOLUME > GROUP > CHANNEL > MAIN MENU (repeats)

The (Up) or (Down) Buttons (31) work in the set mode only. They can be used to change any Group/Channel as selected (if not using IR Sync from receiver).

They can also be used to select the desired Input audio level VOL setting. Or they can be used to turn on the LCD display.

During manual programming, the selected function will flash for five seconds, or press the Set button to confirm the selection and the display will return to the main menu.

The HT-1KU requires two AA size batteries to operate. To install the batteries onto the battery compartment, unscrew the Battery Compartment Cover (24) by turning counterclockwise until loose and slide down the cover, exposing the Battery Compartment (37). Insert two fresh AA batteries according to the correct polarity as indicated on the transmitter body. Screw the battery cover back onto the microphone, making sure it is securely tightened. Fresh alkaline batteries can provide up to 8-10 hours of operation, but in order to ensure optimal performance it is recommended that the batteries

be replaced after 6-8 hours of use or as indicated to be necessary by the flashing

Battery “BATT” Meter Icon (30).

Powering the Transmitter On/Off

To turn on the transmitter, slide the Power On/Off Switch (34) to the “ON” position. The LCD backlight will light up, indicating the unit is now on. After ten seconds the backlight will automatically turn off to conserve battery life. The Group (27), Channel (28), Input Volume Level (29), and Battery Meter (30) indicator icons stay on for normal operation.

As many of the LCD battery levels should stay lit as possible, as they indicate usable battery strength. As the batteries weaken, fewer of the level indicators will stay lit until only one bar shows, which will then flash to warn that the batteries are now too low and should be replaced as soon as possible with fresh ones.

To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use. To turn the transmitter off, slide the power on/off switch to the “OFF” position. The LCD will display “OFF,” no LCD or backlight is lit up and the unit will be off.

At Power Off the transmitter will store the last settings entered and re-display them at the next power on where it can be reprogrammed to any new Group/Channel or Volume level at the first time of use or anytime later. The factory default setting for Volume -10dB is same for all transmitters. These settings are optimal for most applications.

Programming the HT-1KU to the Selected Channel

The transmitter can be programmed to the same frequency as selected for the receiver, either via automatic synchronization using the IR Sync function or manually on the transmitter itself.
