Activating/deactivating the pilot tone transmission – PILOT
Via the “PILOT” menu, you can activate or deactivate the pilot tone transmisssion.
The pilot tone supports the receiver’s squelch function (Squelch) and protects against interference due to RF signals from other units. The transmitter adds an inaudible 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 signal of the matching transmitter and mute all others.
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, you can combine the radiomicrophone with a receiver of the first generation. However, when combining units, please observe the following:
yWith the ew 500 G2 radiomicrophone and an ew 500 G2 receiver:
Activate the pilot tone function with both radiomicrophone and receiver.
yWith the ew 500 G2 radiomicrophone and an ew 500 receiver or vice versa:
Deactivate the pilot tone function with the ew 500 G2 radiomicrophone or receiver.
Activating/deactivating the lock mode – LOCK
Via the “LOCK” menu, you can activate or deactivate the lock mode.
The lock mode prevents that the radiomicrophone is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation. The lock mode icon on the display indicates that the lock mode is activated.
To deactivate the lock mode, first press the SET button and then press the / buttons to select “LOC.OFF”. If you confirm your selection by pressing the SET button, the buttons can be operated as usual.
