Operating the BT-1KU

Bodypack Transmitter

During normal operation with the unit powered on, the transmitter power level can be changed by sliding the RF Power Switch (42) to “H” to increase the transmitted RF power (for longer range) or to “L” to decrease the RF power (reduced range). This is a useful feature as the “L” setting increases battery life and also optimizes the number of channels that can be used simultaneously in a given location. Use this setting for normal use not requiring maximum operating range. A range walk test before use will determine which setting is best for your application.

The Power Off/Mute/On Switch (34) has three positions and functions both as a power on/off and as an audio mute on/ off switch. After the unit is powered on, slide the power switch to the on position to un-mute the audio. To mute/un-mute the audio during use, set the power switch accordingly. The transmitter is now ready to use. Slide the On/Off switch to the on position and the microphone is now ready to use. The receiver’s RF Signal Meter (7) and Diversity A/B (3) indicators should now be on, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. When ready to transmit audio, slide the power switch to on to un-mute. To mute, slide the power switch to Mute again. Adjust the volume of the receiver per Connecting Audio Output.

Note: Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) by taking care in selecting PA volume, transmitter location and speaker placement.

Note: The RF Signal meter and the Diversity A/B indicator on the receiver’s LCD display should be “On” in normal operation.

Instrument Use (BT-1KU/GT only)

Secure the connection of the GT (instrument) cable by lining up the slot of the 3.5mm mini connector and turning the ring to securely lock in. When ready to play, slide the Power Off/Mute/On switch (26) to ON position to un-mute the audio. Adjust the volume on the receiver for one-to-one unity gain (possible with Input Level set to 0dB only) with a hardwired cord or select up

to an added 4-5dB boost by adjusting the receiver volume to maximum for normal use with guitars and bass guitars.

Note: The audio level should be adjusted on the instrument as when using a hard-wired cord.
