Adjustment tips for the operating menu

Switching between channel banks – BANK

Via the “BANK” menu, you can switch between the radiomicrophone’s nine channel banks. Each of the channel banks “1” to “8” has up to 20 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission frequency (see “The channel bank system” on page 36). The channel bank “U” (user bank) has up to 20 switchable channels to store your selection out of 1440 transmission frequencies that are freely selectable within the preset frequency range.

When switching from one channel bank to another, the channel with the lowest channel number is automatically displayed.

Switching between the channels in a channel bank – CHAN

Via the “CHAN” menu, you can switch between the different channels in a channel bank. When switching between the channels, please observe the following:

Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a transmission link to the same channel.

Multi-channel operation

Combined with ew 500 G2 receivers, the radiomicrophone can form transmission links that can be used in multi- channel systems. For multi-channel operation, only use the free channels in a channel bank.

Before putting the transmission links into operation, we recommend performing an auto scan (see operating manual of the receiver).

Selecting the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank “U” – TUNE

Via the “TUNE” menu, you can select the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank “U” (user bank).

When you have selected one of the channel banks “1” to “8” and then select the “TUNE” menu, the radiomicrophone automatically switches to channel 01 of the channel bank “U”.
