Mounting the rubber feet

To ensure that the receiver cannot slip on the surface on which it is placed, four self-adhesive soft rubber feet are supplied. These feet are stuck into the recesses on the bottom side of the receiver. (N.B.: Do not use these feet if rackmounting the receiver).

￿Ensure that the recesses are clean and free from grease before fixing the feet.

Attention!

Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of discolouration, since we don’t know your furniture.

Connecting the antennas

The EM 500 receiver can be used with either telescopic antennas (supplied) or remote antennas (available as accessories).

The supplied telescopic antennas can be mounted quickly and easily to the rear of the receiver and are suitable for all applications where – good reception conditions provided – a wireless transmission system is to be used without a large amount of installation work.

￿ Connect the telescopic antennas to BNC sockets and at the rear of the receiver. Pull the antennas out and align them upwards in a V-shape.

If the receiver position is not the best antenna position for optimum reception, you can use remote antennas. These are available as accessories.

￿ Pass the cable through the cable grip .
