Preparing the radio microphone for use

Inserting, removing and changing the power pack

For powering the radio microphone, you can either use the Sennheiser B 5000 battery box (1.5 V AA size batteries) or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 5000 battery pack. For regular use, we recommend using the environmentally friendly rechargeable BA 5000 battery pack.

Note:

For battery pack operation of the radio microphone, only use the BA 5000 battery pack in order to ensure optimum operational reliability. Batteries and rechargeable battery cells have different discharging curves. The radio microphone is able to identify the BA 5000 battery pack and to use its capacity to the full. Individual rechargeable battery cells in the B 5000 battery box will not be identified as battery packs.

To insert the power pack, open the locking mechanism by moving it in the direction of the arrow.

Insert the power pack into the radio microphone.

Push the power pack towards the microphone head.

Close the locking mechanism by moving it in the direction of the arrow.

To remove the power pack, open the locking mechanism by moving it in the direction of the arrow.

Push the power pack towards the antenna.

You can now remove the power pack.

Note:

After you have changed the power pack, the radio microphone continues operating on exactly the same settings as before the change. Stored settings are retained in memory on switch-off.
