Micro Body Pack Transmitter Battery Charging The transmitter operates from a 3.7 V rechargeable battery that will provide about four hours of operation per charge. Battery life can be monitored from the timer function built into current Lectrosonics receivers. Battery Installation The battery compartment and door catch are designed for simple and quick battery changes, yet prevent the door from being opened accidentally.
SSM Controls and Functions Modulation LEDs BATT LED BATT LED This LED glows green when the battery is good. The color changes to red when there is only a few minutes of operation left. The LED will blink briefly, just before the unit powers down. The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary with battery brand and condition, temperature and current drain. The LED is intended to simply catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining time.
Micro Body Pack Transmitter Connectors and USB Port The housing is machined out of a solid aluminum billet for a rugged, lightweight assembly. Attaching and Removing the Microphone Align the ridges on the plug with the grooves in the jack and insert the plug. IR (infrared) port Galvanized steel flexible whip antenna Mic/Line input jack The antenna is a flexible whip made of galvanized steel, permanently attached to the transmitter to prevent damage from heavy use.

Micro Body Pack Transmitter IR (infrared) Sync An IR (infrared) link between an associated receiver and the transmitter can be used to shorten setup time and ensure that the correct settings in the transmitter are made. The dome on the side panel of the transmitter is the port used for the IR link. The receiver is normally used to identify a clear operating frequency. Once step size, frequency and compatibility mode are set in the receiver, the settings can be sent to the transmitter via this IR link.
