Environment Scan allows you to identify potentially interfering transmitters or strong inter-
modulating transmitters (above/below the thresholds you set in "Configure Auto Setup") for
individual microphone channels. Since the system will scan the entire 30 MHz-wide frequen-
cy band, it is imperative that you switch on all other transmitters near your WMS 400 system
to get a meaningful analysis.
•
You cannot use the receivers selected for Environment Scan for signal reception
during the scan.
•
We recommend saving the current system settings selecting "File" - "Save System
to Disk…" prior to starting Environment Scan to avoid losing receiver Presets and
frequencies due to a possible system or software crash.
1. Switch all WMS 400 transmitters OFF to make sure you will not "overlook" any interfer-
ence frequencies.
2. Switch all other transmitters near the system ON.
3. From the menu bar, select "Tools" - "Environment Scan…".
The screen will change as follows:
5. Click on "Start Scan" to start the scan or "Cancel" to quit the menu.

If your system uses several bands, click
on the upper left-hand tab in the
"Environment Scan" window to select the
desired band.
