1. Switch power to the receiver on.
2. To switch power to the transmitter on, set the on/off switch (11) to "ON".
Since the HT 40 PRO handheld transmitter has been designed specifically for the integrated micro-
phone element, there is no need to set gain on the handheld transmitter. Therefore, the handheld
transmitter has no level or gain control.
3. Switch power to your sound system or amplifier on.
4. Talk or sing into the microphone and set the levels on your mixer or amplifier referring to the appro-
priate instruction manual, or by ear.
1. Pull the color code clip (13) off the transmitter case in the direction of the arrow.
2. Slide the supplied semitransparent replacement clip onto the transmitter to the point that it snaps into
place with an audible click.
The PT 40 PRO bodypack transmitter has been designed for use with the CK 55 L, C 417 L, C 420 L, and
C 444 L microphones from AKG. If you wish to connect other microphones from AKG or other manufac-
turers to the PT 40 PRO, please note that you may have to rewire the existing connector of your micro-
phone or replace it with a 3-pin mini XLR connector.
Audio input (18) pinout:
Pin 1: shield
Pin 2: audio inphase (+)
Pin 3: supply voltage
A 4-V positive supply voltage for condenser microphones is available on pin 3.
Please note that AKG cannot guarantee that the PT 40 PRO bodypack transmitter will work per-
fectly with products from other manufacturers and any damage that may result from such use is
not covered by the AKG warranty scheme.

2. Plug the mini XLR connector on the cable of your microphone into the audio input socket (18) on the
bodypack transmitter.

4. Switch power to the receiver on.
5. Talk or sing into the microphone.

1. Move the transmitter around the area where you will use the system to check the area for "dead
spots", i.e., places where the field strength seems to drop and reception deteriorates.
If you find any dead spots, try to eliminate them by repositioning the receiver. If this does not help,
avoid the dead spots.
2. The RF OK LED (4) on the receiver going out means no signal is being received or the automatic
squelch is active.
Switch power to the transmitter ON or move closer to the receiver, to the point that the RF OK LED (4)
will come back on.
