Bodypack Transmitter Setup and Operation

1. Insert Battery. Pinch the battery door tabs in- ward and pull the door open. Insert a 9V battery as indicated by the +/- in the holder.

2.With battery compartment still open, turn the unit on with Power switch on the top panel. The battery low LED will light for a second and the display will show the Group and Channel num- bers.

3.Change the group and channel numbers to match those displayed on the receiver by press- ing SET. The Group number will flash and can be changed with the UP/DOWN keys. Once the desired Group number is showing, press SET to select and the Channel number will flash. Select the Channel and press SET again, the flashing will stop and the channel is now set.

4.Set Key Lock-Out. By pressing and holding the UP and DOWN arrow keys together for 3 sec- onds, the SET key is disabled. To reactivate the SET key, simply press and hold the UP and DOWN keys again for 3 seconds.

5.Verify reception. With the transmitter and re- ceiver on and matching Group and Channel, the main receiver display should be indicating a RF signal on the bar graph. If the level meter does not show reception, make sure the channels are matching and refer to the trouble shooting sec- tion.

6.Attach the Microphone or Guitar.

Microphone: Plug the microphone cable into the top panel of the WT-500. Speak into the mi- crophone and the Audio Meter bar graph should indicate audio signal presence.

Guitar: Turn off the bodypack, press and hold SET while you turn the bodypack on. A guitar symbol will appear in the display to indicate in- strument mode. Repeat the process holding SET on the receiver as it is powered up. Plug in the MAC-G3 guitar cable. Strum the guitar and the Audio Meter bar graph on the receiver should indicate audio signal presence.

7.Adjustment of the Transmitter Audio Gain - (if necessary). The transmitter audio gain is fac- tory set at the middle of the range, which should be suitable for most applications. For loud or soft speakers/singers, a gain adjustment may be necessary.

Have the speaker or singer use the microphone in a normal performance level voice. The Audio Meter in the main receiver display screen should show peaks around the -3 dB level. If the meter peaks all the way to the right or well below the -3 dB level, adjust the transmitter audio gain.

To adjust the transmitter gain, gently insert the provided screwdriver (or other screwdriver) into the adjustment potentiometer. Gently turn coun- terclockwise until the control stops (the micro- phone output is at minimum but not off). Slowly turn the gain control up (clockwise) while speaking/singing into the microphone or strum- ming the guitar and the audiometer shows peaks around -3 dB.

NOTE: Operating with the transmitter audio gain set as high as possible (without distortion or peaks all the way to the right end of the me- ter) will result in the best performance and high- est signal to noise ratio.

Other Screens: Press SET and DOWN at the same time to display the battery level. Press SET and DOWN again to display frequency. Press them one more time to return to Group and Channel.

8.Frequency Edit Mode - Press SET from the frequency display screen to enter frequency edit mode. Press the Up and Down to adjust fre- quency in 25 kHz increments. Holding the Up or Down buttons down will auto step the frequency; slowly at first, then quickly. You can also enter frequency edit mode by pressing SET and UP at the same time from either the Group and Chan- nel or Battery status display screens. Pressing SET and UP at the same time from the Fre- quency display screen will enter Group and Channel edit mode.

9.Power Lock Out - Press and hold SET, UP, and DOWN at the same time and hold for 3 seconds to lock the power switch on. To turn the unit off, place the power switch in the OFF position and push SET, UP, or DOWN. To remove the lock, press SET, UP, and DOWN again at the same time and hold for 3 seconds. A one-time only ON-Lock mode can also be entered by quickly cycling the power switch three times.

10.Test Performance - Go back to Section 3 - Re- ceiver Setup & Operation, Step 9 to complete sys- tem set up and test.
