Guided Tour - CT7L /CT1G

1:  Input connector 

- The input device is connected here.  The CT7 is supplied with either a lava-

lier or headset microphone or 1/4" jack cable (connected via a mini-XLR jack).

2:  Power / Battery LED

  - This LED flashes once when the CT7 is first turned on and lights 

steadily red when there are less than 2 hours of battery power remaining, indicating that the 
battery needs to be changed.  In order to avoid compromising audio fidelity (or having the CT7 
stop working completely), you should always replace the battery with a fresh one immediately 
whenever this LED lights red.

3:  Audio on-off switch

 - When set to the “on” position, audio signal is transmitted.  When set 

to the “off” position, the audio signal is muted.  Because the carrier signal remains during mut-
ing, no “pop” or “thud” will be heard.  Note that turning this off does not turn off the transmitter 
power—it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal.  If you don’t 
plan on using the transmitter for extended periods, turn off the transmitter power by using the 
power on-off switch (see #8 on the next page).

4:  Belt clip

 - Use this clip to fasten the CT7 to 

a belt.  

5:  Battery cover release

 - Push in both sides 

of the battery cover and pull back to open the 
CT7 battery cover.

6:  Antenna

 - This permanently attached trans-

mitter  “stiff” antenna should be fully extended 
for normal operations.  See the “Setting Up and 
Using the Concert Series System” section on 
page 8 in this manual for more information 
about antenna positioning.
