2.4Description The HT 4500 handheld transmitter and matching microphone elements (optional) provide the same acoustic performance as the equivalent hardwire microphone versions. The micro- phone elements available for the HT 4500 have been specifically designed for vocal use.

The HT 4500 operates in one subband up to 30 MHz wide within the 500 MHz to 862 MHz UHF carrier frequency band. Within the subband, you can either set the carrier frequency di- rectly in 25-kHz increments or select one of the Channels of the Preset Frequency Groups of your transmitter.

		The transmitter provides three operating modes:
		In LOCK mode, the microphone output signal is transmitted to the receiver. All setup func-
		tions and controls except for the MUTE switch are electronically locked to prevent parame-
		ters from being readjusted unintentionally during a performance or lecture. The LCD screen
		displays the "LOCK" label.
		ACTIVE mode allows you to adjust and save the carrier frequency and input gain.
		In SILENT mode, power to the transmitter is on, but no RF signal is transmitted. We rec-
		ommend using only this mode for setting the carrier frequency. This is the only way to make
		sure you won't "go on air" on a frequency that is not allocated or coordinated and risk "jam-
		ming" some other radio service or active radio mic.
		The backlit LCD screen indicates all important parameters, the current battery capacity, and
		the remaining time before the battery will be dead.
		The transmitter uses a dipole antenna integrated in the body and can be powered from two
		standard AA size dry batteries or the optional BP 4000 battery pack from AKG.

Important!	!	• Never use standard rechargeable batteries! These may damage the transmitter
		if the charging contacts are shorted and will provide no remaining battery life in-
		dication. AKG will accept no liability for any damage resulting from the use of
		standard rechargeable batteries.
2.4.1 Controls		1 Status LED: This bicolor LED indicates the current operating status of the transmitter:
Refer to fig. 1.		Green: The output signal of the microphone element is fed to the transmitter, which
		transmits the audio signal to the receiver.
		Red: The Status LED is lit red
		- if the audio signal is muted while the RF section remains active. This prevents un-
		wanted noise from becoming audible in the signal chain;
