Activating/deactivating the pilot tone
transmission –
PILOT
Via the “
PILO T
” menu, you can activate or deactivate the
pilot tone transmisssion.
The pilot tone supports the receiver’s squelch function
(Squelch) and protects against interference due to RF
signals from other units. The transmitter adds an inaudible
signal, k nown as the pilot tone, to the transmitted signal.
The receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone, and is
thus able to identify the signal of the matching transmitter
and mute all others.
Transmitters of the ew 500 series (first generation) do not
transmit a pilot tone and the receivers of the ew 500 series
(first generation) cannot evaluate the pilot tone.
Nevertheless, you can combine the radiomicrophone with a
receiver of the first generation. However, when combining
units, please observe the following:
y
With the ew 500 G2 radiomicrophone and an ew 500 G2
receiver:
Activate the pilot tone function with both
radiomicrophone and receiver.

With the ew 500 G2 radiomicrophone and an ew 500
receiver or vice versa:
Deactivate the pilot tone function with the ew 500 G2
radiomicrophone or receiver.
