Adjusting the audio output level (receivers only)

AF OUT

Via the “AF OUT” menu, you can adjust the audio output level of the receivers. The level can be adjusted in eight steps. Adapt the level of the audio output (AF OUT) to the input of the connected unit. The following figures are a guide to the best settings:

	EM 100 G2	EK 100 G2
y Line level input:	0 bis +18 dB	0 bis +12 dB
y Microphone level input:	–24 bis –6 dB	–30 bis –6 dB

Adjusting the squelch threshold (receivers only)

SQELCH

The receiver is equipped with a squelch that can be adjusted via the “SQELCH” menu. The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off. It also suppresses sudden noise when there is no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.

Note:

Before adjusting the squelch threshold to a different setting, set the volume on a connected amplifier to the minimum.

There are three possible squelch settings:

y LO	=	low
y MID	=	middle
y HI	=	high

Selecting the setting “LO” reduces the squelch threshold, selecting the set- ting “HI” increases the squelch threshold. Adjust the squelch threshold – with the transmitter switched off – to the lowest possible setting that suppresses hissing noise.
