Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation Inserting and changing the battery For powering the transmitter, use a 1.5 V AA size battery. Open the battery compartment by pushing the two catches in the direction of the arrows and open the cover . Insert the battery as shown in the diagram on the left. Please observe correct polarity when inserting the battery. Close the battery compartment.
Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation Connecting the antenna The transmitter is supplied with plug-on antennas: Choose the antenna that matches the frequency range used. Connect the antenna to the antenna socket of the transmitter. Screw down the coupling ring. 쐋 – 638 Only use antennas that match the frequency range of the transmitter. The frequency range is printed on the antenna. Attaching the transmitter to clothing The transmitter is attached to clothing (e.g.
Using the bodypack transmitter Using the bodypack transmitter Switching the transmitter on/off Open the battery compartment. To switch the transmitter on: Briefly press the ON/OFF button . The red LED lights up normally and the standard display is shown on the LC display panel ; after a short pause, “RF” appears on the LC display panel. Remove the battery when the transmitter will not be used for extended periods of time.
Using the bodypack transmitter Doing a frequency check The transmitter has a frequency check mode that prevents the transmitter transmitting on an unwanted frequency after switch-on. When switching on the transmitter, keep the ON/ OFF button pressed. The RF signal is deactivated. The current frequency is displayed on the LC display panel . If the displayed frequency is the correct one, release the ON/OFF button .
Using the bodypack transmitter Deactivating the autolock function temporarily To make changes to the settings via the operating menu, you can temporarily deactivate the lock mode. Press the ON/OFF button or the multi-function switch (switch position SET). “LOCK” appears on the LC display panel . Slide the multi-function switch to the position (UP) or (DOWN). “UNLOCK” appears on the LC display panel . Press the multi-function switch SET). You can now change the settings.

Using operating menu Working with the operating menu The operating menu has three modes: • Display mode: In display mode, you can display the current menu settings one after the other – even when the lock mode is activated. • Selection mode: In selection mode, you can select the menu whose setting you want to change. To change to the selection mode, the lock mode must be deactivated. • Setting mode: In setting mode, you can change the setting of the selected menu.
Using operating menu After switch-on After switch-on, the standard display is shown on the LC display panel . Depending on the setting, the transmission frequency, the channel number or the name of the transmitter is displayed. Displaying the menu settings in display mode In display mode, and with the lock mode activated, you can display the current menu settings one after the other (see “Overview of the menus” on page 19). After a few seconds, the display returns to the standard display.
Using operating menu Adjusting a setting Use the multi-function switch to adjust the setting of the selected menu. By briefly sliding the multi-function switch to the position (UP) or (DOWN), the display jumps either forwards or backwards to the next setting. In the “ATTEN”, “CHAN”, “TUNE” and “NAME” menu and when slid to the position (UP) or (DOWN), the multi-function switch features a “fast search” function, i.e. the display cycles continuously.
Using operating menu Overview of the menus Deactivate the lock mode before adjusting the settings (see “Deactivating the autolock function will cancel your entry (ESC function) temporarily” on page 13).

Adjustment tips for the operating menu Adjustment tips for the operating menu When setting frequencies on the bodypack transmitter, please observe the following: Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency table. Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your country and, if necessary, apply for an operating license. Selecting a channel – “CHAN“ Via the “CHAN” menu, you can switch between the channels in the frequency banks “FIX” and “VAR”.
Adjustment tips for the operating menu When operating a multi-channel system, make sure to only use intermodulation-free frequencies. There are two options for setting the frequencies: • You can set a new frequency for the selected channel: In the selection mode of the “TUNE” menu, press the multi-function switch (switch position SET). The current channel number appears on the LC display panel and then the currently assigned frequency is displayed.
Adjustment tips for the operating menu Entering a name – “NAME” Via the “NAME” menu, you can enter a freely selectable name for the transmitter. This name can be displayed on the standard display and can consist of up to six characters such as: • letters (without pronounciation marks), • numbers from 0 to 9, • special characters and spaces. After you have changed to the setting mode of the “NAME” menu, the first segment starts flashing on the LC display panel .
Adjustment tips for the operating menu Adjusting the bass roll-off frequency – “LOWCUT” To reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as wind and handling noise, you can activate a low-cut filter. The low-cut frequency is 120 Hz. If you do not want to reduce low-frequency signal portions, select the setting “FLAT”.
Adjustment tips for the operating menu Activating/deactivating the automatic lock mode – “LOCK” The transmitter has an autolock function (automatic lock mode) that can be activated or deactivated via the “LOCK” menu. When the autolock function is activated, the lock mode is automatically activated 10 seconds after pressing the last button. The lock mode protects the transmitter from accidental programming. In the selection mode of the “LOCK” menu, press the multi-function switch (switch position SET).
