Inserting and changing the battery
￿	Slide the cover of the battery compartment	in the direction of the
	arrow until it clicks audibly and open the cover.

￿Insert the 9 V PP3 battery (IEC 6 LR 61). Please observe correct polarity when inserting the battery.

Plugging the transmitter onto the microphone
￿	Plug the transmitter’s XLR-3 connector	onto the microphone’s
	XLR-3 socket.
￿	Tighten the locking ring .

Note:

The transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna – therefore only microphones with a metal casing should be used for best signal transmission.

Switching the transmitter on/off
￿	Press the ON/OFF button		to switch the transmitter on. The red
	LED	lights up.

￿For phantom powered condenser microphones: Via the menu, switch

on the phantom powering (P 48) ( “6 Operation”).

For dynamic microphones: Via the menu, switch off the phantom powering (P 48) ( “6 Operation”). With the phantom powering switched on, the operating time of the battery will be reduced to approx. 5 hours.

￿To switch the transmitter off, press the ON/OFF button until “OFF” appears on the display. You can then release the button. The red LED goes off.

Note:

Switch the plug-on transmitter off before changing the microphone.

(this switch does not switch off the transmitter).
