Switch the transmitter on (see the instruction manual for the transmitter). The transmission link is established and the receiver’s RF signal indication 5 lights up green. For information on how to configure the receiver, read the chapter “Configuring the receiver” on page 14.
Using the receiver To adjust the volume: WARNING Hearing damage due to high volumes! Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to permanent hearing defects. 왘 Set the volume to a low level before using the product. 왘 Do not continuously expose yourself to high volumes. 왘 Turn the volume control 1 – clockwise to increase the volume – counterclockwise to reduce the volume. Using the “Limiter” function, you can reduce the audio level of the headphone output (see page 18).
Using the receiver Attaching the receiver to clothing You can use the belt clip E to attach the diversity receiver to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband). The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the receiver with the antenna pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the belt clip from its fixing points and attach it the other way round. The belt clip is secured so that it cannot slide out of its fixing points accidentally.

Recommendations and tips Recommendations and tips General information • Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitter and receiver. • For best sound quality, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted (see the instruction manual for the transmitter). … for SKM radio microphones and SKP plug-on transmitters • Hold the radio microphone in the middle of the microphone body.
