3.3Bodypack Transmitter Setup

1.Insert battery. Open the hinged battery compartment by placing your thumb or finger on the indent labeled OPEN on the battery door and pushing down, see Figure 6. When inserting the battery, pay attention to the polari- ty (+/-) and insert the terminals into the battery compartment first. Close the battery door by sliding the door shut.

Figure 5.

2.Set the transmitter channel to match the channel setting on the receiver. The channel switch on the bodypack is located just under- neath the battery door, and to the right of the indent labeled OPEN. Note the channel num- ber label (0-9) surrounding the opening. The Bodypack channel must be set to the same number as the receiver channel, which is dis- played on the receiver front panel. The chan- nel setting is determined by which number the arrowed slot is pointing to. Use a small screw- driver (supplied) to change the channel setting.

3.Turn on the transmitter by sliding the power switch to its on position. Check the condition of the battery by watching the light below the power switch. The red battery light should flash once and then go out. If the light stays on, the battery is weak and should be replaced.

4.Verify that the transmitter is sending. Observe that the yellow Tx On light on the front panel of the receiver is lit, an indication that the receiv- er is picking up the signal from the transmitter.

5.Connect the audio source. If using a lava- lier or headworn microphone, insert the con- nector on the end of the mic wire, into the con- nector on the Bodypack. If using a lavalier mic, use the clip to attach the mic to the users clothing. If using the headworn mic, place the headset on the user’s head, positioning the mic at the corner of their mouth. If using a gui- tar system, connect the 1/4” plug into the instru- ment.

NOTE: Keep the audio muted while plug- ging in and adjusting the microphone or source. Placement of lavalier and headworn microphones will noticeably change the sound quality, so some testing with the user is neces- sary. An important point to remember, the closer to the sound source, the stronger or louder the signal.

6.Unmute the audio, by sliding the large AUDIO switch located on the Bodypack, to the ON position. Speak or sing into the microphone and you should hear your voice through the PA / sound system.

7.Listen carefully to the audio and be sensi- tive of overload distortion and low gain.

8.Adjust the transmit gain if necessary. Gently insert the provided screwdriver or other 3/32-in. (2.5 mm) screwdriver into the gain adjustment located at the top edge of the battery compartment under the door. The door has to be opened but not swung upward to make adjustments. Turn lightly until the screwdriver tip drops into the slot on the level control. Gently turn the control counterclock- wise until the control stops (the audio output is attenuated but not “off”). Slowly turn the audio level control clockwise while listening to audio; if the audio becomes distorted, turn the mic level control counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn.

9.Check reception by observing that the yel- low Tx On light is lit on the receiver’s front panel.

10.Clip the bodypack to the user’s belt, pock- et, or guitar strap. The bodypack can be positioned horizontally or vertically by moving the belt clip attachment. This is done by removing the belt clip attachment screw, rotating the clip to the desired position, and replacing the screw.
