SETTING THE TRANSMITTING FREQUENCY ON THE 1000BT
Before the 1000BT can be used, it and the associated receiver have to
set to the same frequency. This can be accomplished on the 1000BT
transmitter by first setting the LCD display to one of two views - ‘Fre-
quency’ or ‘Channel’. To do this, after installing a fresh battery, turn the
1000BT to the ON position [
e
]. Next, using the tip of a ballpoint pen,
an unbent paper clip or something similar, press the MODE button [
j
]
repeatedly until one of the two screens below appears.
Using either the UP or DOWN button [
l
] the desired receiving fre-
quency or channel number can be set. Tapping the button steps the
frequency or channel number one at a time while pressing and holding
the button moves through the frequencies or channel numbers rapidly.
There are 121 different frequencies or channel numbers to chose from.
Once the desired frequency or channel has been determined be cer-
tain to set both the transmitter and receiver to match.
USING THE 1000BT TRANSMITTER’S CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
A. Power
The POWER ON/OFF switch [
e
] turns the 1000BT On or OFF.
B. Audio
Prior to first turning the 1000BT ON it is best to set the AUDIO switch
[
g
] to ST.BY (standby). When you are ready to begin transmitting,
switch to ON. The ST.BY position acts as a ‘mute’ that maintains the RF
signal but turns off the audio.

USING THE 1000URX RECEIVER’S CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
A. Power
The POWER ON/OFF switch [
i
] turns the 1000URX On or OFF. To
conserve battery life, it is best to turn the receiver ON only when it is
actually being used.
B. Output
Select either LINE or MIC [
j
] depending on which input is being used
on the camera.
C. Monitor
This control [
g
] adjusts the output level (MIN to MAX) at the earphone
monitor jack [
d
]. This is a 3.5 mm mono jack.
D. LCD Display
This display [
h
] shows several peices of information. As discussed
previously, the frequency or channel number is shown. Additionally,
as the 1000URX chooses which antenna is receiving the best signal,
the ‘A’ or ‘B’ segment of the LCD display will illuminate.
As the RF signal from the transmitter gets stronger (or weaker) the num-
ber of illuminated LCD segments in the display will change - with 3 seg-
ments being the maximum and best. Similarly, the AF (audio level) seg-
ments will light from 1 to 3 segments as the audio gets stronger or weaker.
In this case the best level is achieved as the display shows between 2
and 3 segments. If all 3 segments stay illuminated for a continued pe-
riod of time it is likely that you are over driving the receiver’s input and
you should reduce the transmitting level by either moving the micro-
phone further away from the sound source or reducing the input gain
on the transmitter.
