Bodypack Transmitter Setup

and Operation

1. Insert Battery. Pinch the battery door tabs inward and pull the door open. Insert a 9V battery as indicated by the +/- in the holder.

2.With battery compartment still open, turn the unit on with Power switch on the top panel. The battery low LED will light for a second and the display will show the Group and Channel numbers.

3.Change the group and channel numbers to match those displayed on the receiver by pressing SET. The Group number will flash and can be changed with the UP/DOWN keys. Once the desired Group number is showing, press SET to select and the Channel number will flash. Select the Channel and press SET again, the flashing will stop and the channel is now set.

4.Set Key Lock-Out.By pressing and holding the UP and DOWN arrow keys together for 3 seconds, the SET key is disabled. To reactivate the SET key, simply press and hold the UP and DOWN keys again for 3 seconds.

5.Verify reception. With the transmitter and receiver on and matching Group and Channel, the main receiver display should be indicating a RF signal on the bar graph. If the level meter does not show reception, make sure the chan- nels are matching and refer to the trouble shooting section.

6.Attach the Microphone or Guitar.

Microphone: Plug the microphone cable into the top panel of the BPU-2. Speak into the microphone and the Audio Meter bar graph should indicate audio signal presence.

Guitar: Turn off the bodypack, press and hold SET while you turn the bodypack on. A guitar symbol will appear in the display to indicate instrument mode. Repeat the pro- cess holding SET on the receiver as it is powered up to re- turn to voice mode. Plug in the MAC-G3 guitar cable. Strum the guitar and the Audio Meter bar graph on the re- ceiver should indicate audio signal presence.

7.Adjustment of the Transmitter Audio Gain - (if neces- sary). The transmitter audio gain is factory set at the mid- dle of the range, which should be suitable for most applications. For loud or soft speakers/singers, a gain ad- justment may be necessary.

Have the speaker or singer use the microphone in a normal performance level voice. The Audio Meter in the main re- ceiver display screen should show peaks around the -3 dB level. If the meter peaks all the way to the right or well be- low the -3 dB level, adjust the transmitter audio gain.

To adjust the transmitter gain, gently insert the provided screwdriver (or other screwdriver) into the adjustment po- tentiometer. Gently turn counterclockwise until the control stops (the microphone output is at minimum but not off). Slowly turn the gain control up (clockwise) while speak- ing/singing into the microphone or strumming the guitar and the audiometer shows peaks around -3 dB.

NOTE: Operating with the transmitter audio gain set as high as possible (without distortion or peaks all the way to the right end of the meter) will result in the best perfor- mance and highest signal to noise ratio.

Other Screens: Press SET and DOWN at the same time to display the battery level. Press SET and DOWN again to display frequency. Press them one more time to return to Group and Channel.

8.Frequency Edit Mode - Press SET from the frequency display screen to enter frequency edit mode. Press the Up and Down to adjust frequency in 25 kHz increments. Hold- ing the Up or Down buttons down will auto step the fre- quency; slowly at first, then quickly. You can also enter frequency edit mode by pressing SET and UP at the same time from either the Group and Channel or Battery status display screens. Pressing SET and UP at the same time form the Frequency display screen will enter Group and Channel edit mode.

9.Power Lock Out - Press and hold SET, UP, and DOWN at the same time and hold for 3 seconds to lock the power switch on. To turn the unit off, place the power switch in the OFF position and push SET, UP, or DOWN. To re- move the lock, press SET, UP, and DOWN again at the same time and hold for 3 seconds. A one-time only ON-Lock mode can also be entered by quickly cycling the power switch three times.
