5. Headphones VOLUME Control: Rotate this knob to increase or decrease the
headphones output level.
6. Battery Compartment: Hinged cover on bottom surface exposes the battery
compartment.
7. Audio Output Connector: 3-pin “Tini Q-G” connector provides balanced output to
video camera or audio mixer.
8. AUDIO PEAK Indicator: Red light indicates audio overload. During normal
operation, the light flickers
only on loud signals. See Audio Gain Adjustments
section.
9. POWER / RF Indicator: Green POWER ON light illuminates when the receiver is
turned on. An orange light indicates that an RF signal is present.
10. OFF/ON Switch: Turns the VP3 receiver on and off.
11. Squelch Control: Recessed squelch control mutes the receiver when no
transmitter signal is received. Use the supplied screwdriver to adjust the squelch
level (see
Changing VP3 Receiver Squelch Control Settings).
T2 OR EC2 HAND-HELD MICROPHONE-TRANSMITTER (Figure 10)
1. Grille: Protects the microphone and helps reduce breath sounds and wind noise.
2. Antenna: The EC2 microphone-transmitter includes an external helical antenna
with a miniature female coaxial connector. The T2 includes an internal antenna
comprised of the 9-V battery case and the printed-circuit board ground plane.
3. MICROPHONE ON/OFF Switch: Mutes the microphone
without turning the
transmitter off, so no “pop” or “thump” sounds occur when the microphone is turned
on and off. Also prevents the receiver from picking up unwanted signals.
4. POWER ON/OFF Switch: Turns transmitter on and off.
5. POWER ON Indicator: Illuminates when the POWER switch is turned on and a
“good” battery is installed.
6. Battery Compartment: Unscrewing the handle and sliding it downward exposes
the battery compartment and audio GAIN Switch (8).
7. Frequency Identification Label: Located inside the battery compartment, this
label lists the transmitter’s operating frequency.
8. Audio HI/LO GAIN Switch or Control: Controls the audio level of the microphone.
9. Low Battery Indicator: T2 only: Red light glows when one hour or less of useful
operating time remains; when this light glows, change the battery at the first
opportunity.
T1 or EC1 BODY-PACK TRANSMITTER (Figure 11
)
1. Microphone Jack: The microphone cable or the WA310 microphone adapter
cable plugs into this connector.
2. POWER ON Indicator: Illuminates when the POWER switch is turned on and a
“good” battery is installed.
3. MICROPHONE ON/OFF Switch: Mutes the microphone
without turning the
transmitter off, so no “pop” or “thump”sounds occur when the microphone is turned
on and off.
4. POWER ON/OFF Switch: Turns transmitter on and off.
5. Antenna: A flexible antenna wire is permanently attached to the bottom of the
body-pack transmitter.
For proper operation, the antenna must be in the vertical
position, not coiled or bundled
6. Audio Level Control: Allows audio level adjustments for various sound sources.
A small screwdriver is supplied to make adjustments.
7. Belt Clip: Allows the transmitter to be worn on a belt or waistband.
8. Battery Compartment: Hinged cover on bottom surface exposes the battery
compartment.
9. Low Battery Indicator: T1 only: Red light glows when one hour or less of useful
operating time remains; when this light glows, change the battery at the first
opportunity.
10. Lavalier Microphone: WL93 subminiature omnidirectional microphone shown.
11. Microphone Mounting Clip: Holds the lavalier microphone so it can be attached
to your clothing.

NOTE: To avoid interference at sites where multiple wireless systems are used, all
operating frequencies must be compatible.
The Red Dot / Blue Dot method of
identifying compatible systems / frequencies does not apply to systems sold in
the U.K.
To determine which frequencies are compatible in the U.K., refer to the
