Connecting Input Audio Source

setting increases battery life and also optimizes the number of channels that can be used simultaneously in a given location. Use this setting for normal use not requiring maximum operating range. A range walk test before use will determine which setting is best for your application.

Slide the On/Off switch to the “ON” position and the microphone is now ready to use. The receiver’s RF Signal Meter (12) and one Diversity A or B (8/13) indicator should now be on, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. Adjust the volume of the receiver per Connecting the Audio Output section above.

Note: Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) by taking care in selecting PA volume, transmitter location and speaker placement.

The RF Signal meter and the Diversity A or B indicator on the receiver’s LCD display should be “ON” in normal operation.

BT-1KU Bodypack Transmitter (LT, LT/HM or GT)

Buttons Function

The RF Power Level Switch (45) is used to select Hi/Low power transmission.

When the Set Button (44) is pressed, the LCD main menu will cycle in the following order:

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

The (Up) or (Down) Buttons (43) 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.

Setting up the Transmitter

The BT-1KU bodypack requires two AA size batteries to operate. To install the batteries into the battery compartment, lift the Battery Compartment Door (48) by grabbing the two spring-loaded locking tabs and pull out, exposing the Battery Compartment (47). Insert two fresh AA batteries (50) according to the correct polarity as indicated on the transmitter body. Close the battery cover, ensuring the cover is snapped shut. Fresh alkaline batteries can last provide up to 8-10 hours of operation, but in order to ensure optimum performance it is recommended that the batteries be replaced after 6-8 hours of use or as indicated necessary by the flashing Battery Meter “BATT” Icon (30).

Use the Audio Input (40) 3.5mm locking mini jack for connecting the audio input cord from lapel mic (LT), Headmic™ (LT/HM), or instrument (GT), depending on which version transmitter is being used. Secure the connection to the cable by lining up the slot of the 3.5mm mini connector and turning the ring to securely lock in.

Powering the Transmitter On/Off

To turn on the transmitter, slide the

Power Off/Mute/On Switch (41) to the “MUTE” (middle) position (transmitter on, audio muted). The LCD backlight will light up.

The unit is now on. After ten seconds the backlight will automatically turn off. The Group (27), Channel (28), Input Volume Level (29) and Battery Meter (30) remain on in normal operation.

As many of the five LCD battery levels should stay lit as possible, indicating usable battery strength. As the batteries weaken, fewer of the level indicators stay lit until only one bar shows, which will then flash to warn that the batteries are now too low and
