SELECT Key: Once you are in edit mode you can access this key to edit certain
parameters. Press this key for a few seconds and the unit will enter in the
MUTE mode. (In this way, you can tell your Bass Player what you think about
the Sound Engineer without everybody knowing that!). Press it again for a few
seconds and you will unmute the unit.
Battery Compartment: This unit may be powered from one pair of dry or
rechargeable batteries, Um3 size AA 1.5V.

Charge Jack: With the rechargeable batteries putting inside, use the charger
supplied in your system to recharge the batteries.

Antenna: The Antenna of your MOD-16H is integrated in the microphone
body. Please do not cover the antenna for optimal RF transmission.

CH/ON Key: If you press this key for a few seconds your Transmitter will
switch ON and OFF. Once you have switched the unit ON, just press this key
again slightly and you can edit various parameters such as CHANNEL, GROUP,
RF POWER LEVEL and LOCK/UNLOCK. Once you are in the LOCK position no
further operation is allowed and, in a few seconds, the display will show the
current channel selected (0 to 99). Battery level will also be shown.

- Mute Function
Sometimes, there are things that you want to tell to your Friends on stage or your near
by Companion during a Meeting but not necessarily to the rest of the world especially if
you are live on CNN... A smart feature on your Transmitter allows you to easily MUTE
the microphone so you are free to talk to the people next to you without the rest of the
world hearing what you say. To enter into MUTE function simply press the SELECT key
for a few seconds and the Transmitter will mute any audio signal going to the Receiver.
Press SELECT again for a few seconds and you will UNMUTE the Transmitter.
Note: Why Alto Transmitters come with 100 different frequencies? Not because
you will need to use 100 different microphones at the same time. It is unlikely
that you will use more than 8 systems at the same time so why 100 frequencies?
This depends mainly of Countries regulations. We offer frequencies from
470 to 900 MHZ. Some of these frequencies are illegal in certain Countries
and vice versa. Offering such a wide range of frequencies we make sure that
each single Country on the planet will have more than enough choice of
frequencies available. Not only: A certain frequency can be to close to the
frequency generated by lighting equipment, a computer, a fax machine and
so on. Therefore, thanks to the large number of frequencies available you
can easily switch to another frequency that is interference-free.
5. Modelling Technology for Wireless Microphones
This document applies to all LTO Wireless Receivers used in conjunction with
LTO Handheld and Bodypack Transmitters
Fundamentals: LTO has created and integrated a wireless microphone
system offering 16 modelling presets resulting in a range of tonal response
for a wide variety of applications. Until this innovative introduction made for
the first time in the world in a wireless system by LTO, wireless systems
consisting of receiver and microphone transmitters produced a single sound
pattern. Each microphone capsule design, because of the laws of physics,
features its own frequency response and adds a certain tonal colour to the
signal it transmits. If you do not like the colour added, you must change
the microphone section of your transmitter, much like a painter chooses
a different colour from his palate. Many brands today offer several different
