Remote Control Enable/Disable and 

Configuring Power Restore

These two settings are made with a screen that is 

accessed with a special button sequence.

Then press the AUDIO and FREQ 

buttons at the same time

Hold the DOWN 

arrow button

The remote control screen setup will appear first. 

When either the AUDIO or FREQ button is pressed, 

the screen will switch to the power restore setup 

screen. Pressing either button again will return the 

unit to the “standby” mode with the RF output turned 

off.
To access these screens again, turn the unit off and 

press the three buttons as shown above to start over.

Configuring for Power Restore

The second setup screen in this mode determines 

how the transmitter is powered up again after the 

batteries have become exhausted in normal opera-

tion the unit has shut down. 

PbAC 0

 turns the power 

restore function off and 

PbAC 1

 turns it on.

When this function is turned on, the unit will power 

up to normal operation with a brief press of the AU-

DIO and FREQ buttons after the batteries have been 

replaced.
When this function is turned off, the AUDIO and 

FREQ buttons need to be held in for the comple-

tion of the count to turn the unit back on for normal 

operation.
This is a unique behavior that takes place only when 

the batteries fail during operation. If the unit is turned 

off manually, a quick press of the buttons will turn it 

on in the “standby” mode instead.
The firmware is written this way because the battery 

caps make contact with the battery before the cap 

is seated, and the fact that there are two separate 

battery caps to tighten. This allows both batteries 

to be installed and the caps tightened before power 

is restored. It also makes turning the unit back on 

easier when wearing gloves since the buttons do not 

need to the held in.

Compatibility Mode

In addition to its native Digital Hybrid mode, the 

transmitter will also operate with Lectrosoncs IFB 

receivers.

From this screen, use the 

UP and DOWN arrows to 

select the desired mode.

LCD Backlight Settings

The backlight on the 

display can be set to stay 

on all the time or to turn 

off after either 30 seconds or 5 minutes of inactivity 

on the panel switches. The backlight will turn on and 

the timer will start over when a button is pressed. 

Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select the 

desired setting.

Frequency Selection

The frequency can be displayed either in MHz or as 

a two-digit hexadecimal number and can be set in 

the Standby Mode or when the transmitter is pow-

ered up in the normal operating mode.

The hexadecimal numbering system is unique to 

Lectrosonics where two alphanumeric characters 

correspond to the left and right switch settings on 

earlier analog transmitters that had mechanical 

rotary switches to adjust frequency.

1)

  Press the FREQ button to select either the MHZ 

screen or the hexadecimal screen.

2)

  While holding the FREQ button, use the Up or 

Down arrow buttons to move the operating fre-

quency up or down in 100 kHz increments from 

the current setting.
