SETUP Window

In the SETUP window, the SEL Up 

and Down buttons scroll through a 

list of eight possible setup screens:  

EXIT, LEVEL, TONE, TXBAT, PHASE, SmtNR (in 400 

Series mode only), TUNING and COMPAT.  Each of 

these setup screens allows the user to change the as-

sociated operating parameters.  Pressing the MENU 

button accesses whatever mode is identified in the 

Setup window.  Pressing the MENU button whenever 

EXIT is displayed returns the user to the Main window.

LEVEL Setup Screen

The 

LEVEL

 setup screen displays 

the audio output level of the receiver 

in dBu.  Use the SEL Up or Down 

buttons to change the level.  Range is 

from -50 to +5 dBu in 1 dB steps.  Press the MENU but-

ton to leave this screen.

TONE Setup Screen

The 

TONE

 setup screen enables an 

audio test tone at the receiver output 

for precise level matching with other 

equipment.  The first screen prompts 

you to press the SEL Up button to 

enable the tone at the receiver output 

jack.  The next screen that appears 

allows the level to be adjusted in 1dB 

steps using the SEL Up and Down buttons.
When the audio test tone is enabled, the received audio 

is muted and an internally generated 1 kHz test tone is 

routed to the XLR connector.  Since there is only one 

audio output level setting for both the received audio 

and test tone, the level set here will be retained in the 

receive mode (it will supersede the setting made in the 

LEVEL setup screen.) The test tone has 1% distortion 

and is intended for confirmation of output levels only.  

To exit the test tone screen and stop the tone press the 

MENU button.

TXBAT Setup Screen

The 

TXBAT

 setup screen allows you 

to select the exact battery being used 

in the transmitter to provide more 

accurate battery level monitoring.  Four different types 

of batteries are commonly used in Lectrosonics trans-

mitters: 9 Volt alkaline, 9 Volt lithium, AA alkaline, and 

AA lithium.  Correctly set, this will ensure that adequate 

warning will be provided in advance of battery failure.  

Use the SEL Up and Down buttons to select the trans-

mitter battery.  Press MENU to leave this screen.
In native 400 Series mode as well as in the 200 Series 

compatibility mode, the TXBAT menu offers six choices:

9V ALK 

   Transmitter uses a 9V alkaline battery. 

Monitor voltage with battery icon in main 

window.

9V LTH

    Transmitter uses a 9V lithium battery. Moni-

tor voltage with battery icon in main window.

9V TIM 

  

Transmitter uses a 9V battery. Display its 

voltage normally in the battery level window 

but monitor its status with the battery timer 

in the main window.

AA ALK

    Transmitter uses a AA alkaline battery. 

Monitor voltage with battery icon in main 

window.

AA LTH

    Transmitter uses a AA lithium battery. Moni-

tor voltage with battery icon in main window.

AA TIM 

   Transmitter uses an AA battery. Display its 

voltage normally in the battery level window 

but monitor its status with the battery timer 

in the main window.

The 9V TIM and AA TIM settings are most useful for 

NiMH batteries as they do not exhibit reliably identifiable 

voltage drops as they discharge.
In compatibility modes other than 400 Series and 200 

Series, no battery telemetry information is available so 

the TXBAT setup screen offers only two choices:

NOTIMER

  Display no transmitter battery status in the 

main window.

TIMER

 

Monitor the transmitter battery status with 

the battery timer in the main window.

Note: To reset the battery timer, hold MENU and 

SEL Down together for one second.

PHASE Setup Screen

The 

PHASE 

setup screen allows the 

audio output phase to be inverted.  

The SEL Up and Down buttons can 

be used to toggle between normal and inverted phase.  

Press MENU to leave this screen.

SmartNR Setup Screen

The 

SmartNR

 setup screen (available 

in 400 Series compatibility mode only) 

places the Smart Noise Reduction 

algorithm in one of three modes. In 

the OFF position, no noise reduction 

is applied, for complete transparency. 

In the NORMAL position (factory 

default setting), a moderate amount 

of noise reduction is applied, dramati-

cally reducing hiss with virtually no 

discernible side effects. In the FULL 

position, the transparency is superior to the Lectroson-

ics noise reduction system used for many years in the 

195 and 200 series systems. Try switching between the 

three modes to decide what setting is correct for your 

application. Refer to the Smart Noise Reduction section 

in the 

General Technical Description

 chapter for more 

detailed information about this feature.
