Digital Transmitter
Rio Rancho, NM

Battery Status LED Indicator
The Power/Function LED on the top panel will mirror the
keypad LED unless the programmable switch is set to
Mute, and the switch is turned on.
Alkaline, lithium or rechargeable batteries can be used
to power the transmitter. The type of batteries in use are
selectable in a menu on the LCD.
When alkaline or lithium batteries are being used, the
LED labeled BATT on the keypad glows green when the
batteries are good. The color changes to red at a mid-
point of the runtime. When the LED begins to
blink
red,
there will be only a few minutes of operation remaining.
The exact point at which the LEDs turn red will vary with
battery brand and condition, temperature and power
consumption. The LEDs are intended to simply catch
your attention, not to be an exact indicator of remaining
time.
A weak battery will sometimes cause the Power LED to
glow green immediately after the transmitter is turned on,
but it will soon discharge to the point where it will turn
red or the unit will turn off completely.
Rechargeable batteries give little or no warning when
they are depleted. If you wish to use these batteries in
the transmitter, the most accurate way to determine run-
time status is by testing the time provided by a particular
battery brand and type, then using the
BatTime
function
to determine remaining runtime.
NOTE: Refer to the
Main Menu and Setup
section for
BatTime
details.
Belt Clips
The wire belt clip may be removed by pulling the ends
out of the holes in the sides of the case. Be sure to have
a firm grip to avoid scratching the surface of the housing.
An optional spring-loaded, hinged belt clip (model num-
ber BCSLEBN) is also available. This clip is attached by
removing the plastic hole cap on the back of the housing
and mounting the clip with the supplied screw.
IR (infrared) Port
The IR port is available on the top of the transmitter for
quick setup using a receiver with this function available.
IR Sync will transfer the settings for frequency from the
receiver to the transmitter.
Status LED
Blue LED indicates ready (transmitting) status.
Connecting the Signal Source
Microphones, line level audio and digital sources can be
used with the transmitter. Refer to the section entitled
Input Connections
for details on the correct wiring for line
level sources and microphones to take full advantage of
the Servo Bias circuitry.
Battery Installation
The transmitter is powered by two AA batteries. Lithium
batteries are recommended for longest life.
The battery status circuitry compensates for the differ-
ence in voltage drop between alkaline and lithium batter-
ies across their usable life, so it’s important to select the
correct battery type in the menu.
WARNING: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
Because rechargeable batteries run down quite abruptly,
using the Power LED to verify battery status will not be
reliable. However, it is possible to track battery status us-
ing the battery timer function available in the receiver.
Push outward on the battery compartment door and lift it
to open.
Slide door outward,
then lift up to open
Insert the batteries according to the markings on the
back of the housing.
If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, the door may
close but the unit will not operate.
The battery contacts can be cleaned with alcohol and
a cotton swab, or a clean pencil eraser. Be sure not to
leave any remnants of the cotton swab or eraser crumbs
inside the compartment.
