Setting up
1. Open the battery compartment (2) as indicated in the illustration and insert a 9 volt
alkaline battery or a suitable rechargeable battery.
2. Switch on the handheld transmitter (6). The LED power indicator (7) is illuminated.
3. To change the frequency, turn the channel selector control (5) with a suitable screwdriver
or trim tool until the control points to the desired frequency. For available frequencies
refer to the frequency table inside the battery compartment (2). Make sure that the
transmitter and receiver are on the same frequency.
4. When the battery capacity is too low for operation (below 6.5 V), the LED power indicator
(7) starts to flash. The residual time of operation is then approximately 30 minutes (when
a 9 V alkaline battery has been inserted). If the battery voltage drops below 6.0 V the LED
power indicator (7) goes out and the transmitter is switched off.
5. The sensitivity can be adjusted for close and distant miking.
Recommended adjustment:
Close miking vocals:
1 (most insensitive)
Close miking speech:
2
Distant miking:
3 (most sensitive)
The “CLIP”-indication must not illuminate on the display of the NE 500 receiver even with
the loudest signals. If this occurs a lower sensitivity should be selected.

Maintenance
Protect the transmitter
from humidity, knocks and shock. Avoid dropping the
transmitter at all times.
For cleaning metal surfaces, use a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits or alcohol.
If your microphone sounds dull, clean the integrated foam pop shield. To do this, follow these
instructions. Unscrew the microphone upper basket counter clockwise. Pull out the foam pop
shield and clean it under clear running water. If necessary, use a mild washing-up liquid. Dry it
afterwards with a hairdryer or allow it to dry overnight. Place the dry pop shield inside the
microphone basket and replace the microphone basket by screwing it on clockwise.
