Putting the devices into operation Putting the devices into operation EM 100 receiver You can set up the receiver on a flat surface or mount it into a 19“ rack. For information on rack mounting, refer to the instruction manual of the EM 100 receiver available on the ew G3 product page at www.sennheiser.com. Setting up the receiver on a flat surface Place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface. Please note that the device feet can leave stains on delicate surfaces.
Putting the devices into operation Stacking receivers CAUTION! Stack several receivers on top of each other. Danger of injury due to toppling receiver stacks! High receiver stacks can easily topple over. Place the stack on an absolutely flat surface. Secure the stack against toppling over. Fasten the stacking elements as described in the previous section. Stack the receivers so that the recesses of the stacking elements completely engage with each other.
