Activating/deactivating the pilot tone evaluation – “Pilot Tone”

The transmitter adds an inaudible signal, known as the pilot tone, to the
transmitted signal. The diversity receiver detects and evaluates the pilot
tone. The pilot tone supports the diversity receiver’s squelch function, thus
protecting against interference due to RF signals from other devices.

Observe the following when combining a transmitter or receiver of the
ew 100 G3 series (generation 3) with devices from an earlier evolution
wireless generation:

Adjusting the contrast of the display panel – “LCD Contrast”

You can adjust the contrast of the display panel in 16 steps.

Resetting the settings made in the operating menu – “Reset”

When resetting the settings made in the operating menu, only the
selected settings for the pilot tone and for the frequency bank “

U

” remain

unchanged. For an overview of the factory-preset default settings, refer to
the supplied frequency information sheet.

Displaying the software revision – “Software Revision”

You can display the current software revision of the diversity receiver.
