Activating/deactivating the pilot tone evaluation– PILOT
Via the “PILOT” menu, you can activate or deactivate the pilot tone evaluation.
The pilot tone supports the receiver’s squelch function (Squelch) and protects against interference due to RF signals from other units. The transmitter adds aninaudible signal, known as the pilot tone, to the transmitted signal. The receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone, and is thus able to identify the signalofthe matching transmitter and mute allothers.
Transmitters of the ew 500 series (first generation) do not transmit a pilot tone and the receivers of the ew 500 series (first generation) cannot evaluate the pilot tone. Nevertheless, youcancombine the EK 500 G2 receiver with a transmitter of the first generation. However, when combining units, please observe the following:
y With an ew 500 G2 transmitter and the ew 500 G2 receiver:
Activate the pilot tone function with both transmitter and receiver.
yWith anew 500transmitterand the ew500 G2receiver or vice versa:
Deactivate the pilot tone function with the ew 500 G2 transmitter orreceiver.
