In this case, “U.01” briefly appears on the display.

Use the / buttons to select the desired transmission frequency. Transmission frequencies are tunable in 25-kHz steps within a switching bandwidth of 36 MHz max. For intermodulation-free frequencies, please refer to the enclosed frequency table.

Adjusting the sensitivity – SENSIT

Via the “SENSIT” menu, you can adjust the radiomicrophone’s input sensitivity.

The input sensitivity is adjusted too high when close talking distances, speakers with loud voices or loud music passages cause overmodulation in the transmission link. When the audio input level is excessively high (AF peak), the level display for audio signal “AF” shows full deflection.

If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the transmission link will be undermodulated, which would result in a signal with high background noise.

The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display for audio signal “AF” shows full deflection only during the loudest passages.

Note:

For monitoring the adjusted sensitivity, the transmitter’s level display for audio signal “AF” always indicates the audio level – even if the transmitter is muted.

The following figures are a guide to the best settings:

y Loud music/vocals:	–30 to –20 dB
y Presentations:	–20 to –10 dB
y Interviews:	–10 to 0 dB
