Putting the products into operation Putting the products into operation Avoiding sources of interference Featuring automatic interference management, the devices are capable of avoiding interfering signals at any time by automatically moving together to unused frequencies in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, without any audio interruption. However, the number of usable radio links is reduced if there are active sources of interference in the vicinity of the devices.
Putting the products into operation Putting the receiver into operation Fitting the device feet ATTENTION Risk of staining of furniture surfaces! Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining. 왘 Do not place the receiver on delicate surfaces.
Putting the products into operation 왘 Connect the supplied 2G4 rod antennas to the two R-SMA sockets at the rear of the receiver. 왘 Align the 2G4 rod antennas vertically upwards.

Putting the products into operation Preparing the headset microphone for use Adjusting the microphone boom and the neckband padding For best possible comfort and optimum fit of the headset microphone, the neckband padding and the microphone boom have to be adjusted to properly fit your head. ATTENTION Damage to the microphone boom The microphone boom can break or be impaired in its function when you bend or turn it.
Putting the products into operation Putting the handheld transmitter into operation If you touch the antenna of the handheld transmitter during transmission, the transmission range will be considerably reduced. If you cover the microphone head during transmission, this will change the pick-up pattern of the microphone and consequently the sound. 왘 Only hold the handheld transmitter by its body. 왘 Hold the handheld transmitter approx. 5 to 10 cm in front of your mouth.
Putting the products into operation Recharging the accupack If you use the optional BA 10 or BA 30 accupacks, you can charge them via a standard USB power supply/charger or via the USB port of a computer. The BA 30 accupack of the bodypack transmitter can remain in the bodypack transmitter for charging. To charge the BA 10 accupack of the handheld transmitter: 왘 Remove the accupack from the handheld transmitter (see page 22).
Using the products Using the products The Sennheiser series offers true ease of use: The devices of a set are already paired and are therefore ready for immediate use. The receiver features automatic frequency management and continually scans the RF environment for usable, interference-free frequencies. To ensure optimum levels, the transmitters automatically set the correct microphone sensitivity. Switching the devices on or off After switch-on, the receivers and transmitters will take approx.
Using the products Switching the handheld transmitter off 왘 Long-press the ON/OFF button in the direction of the transmitter body. LONG = OFF The display panel and the status LED go off. Checking the charge status of the batteries or accupacks When the capacity of the batteries or the accupack is so low that the remaining battery life is less than 30 minutes, the status LED on both the transmitter and the receiver flashes red.
Using the products Muting the bodypack transmitter or the SKM-S D1 handheld transmitter Both the bodypack transmitter and the SKM-S D1 handheld transmitter have a MUTE switch that mutes the audio signal without switching the transmitter off. In order that a transmitter can be muted, its MUTE switch must be activated (see page 35). If you try to mute a transmitter whose MUTE switch is deactivated, Mute disabled appears on the display panel of both the transmitter and the receiver.
Using the products ATTENTION Breakdown of radio links during the firmware update All radio links are subject to interference during the firmware update process and can therefore not be used for audio transmission. 왘 Never update the firmware during a performance. Identifying paired devices You can perform a pairing identification to see which transmitter is paired with which receiver. 왘 Switch on all devices whose pairing you want to identify (see page 26).
