1: Audio on-off switch
-
When set to the “ON”
position, audio signal is
transmitted. When set
to the “OFF” position, the
audio signal is muted.
Because the carrier signal
remains during muting,
no “pop” or “thud” will
be heard. Note that
turning this off does
not
turn off the transmitter power—it is simply a way to
temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal. If
you don’t plan on using the HT5 for extended periods,
turn off its power by using the power on-off switch (see
#3 below).
2: Battery level meter
- This set of three multicolor
LEDs indicates relative battery power, indicating
whether the installed battery is at low (red), mid
(yellow) or high (green) strength. One or more of
these will light whenever the HT5 is powered on (see
#3 below). When all three are lit, the battery is at
maximum strength. When only the red “low” indicator
lights, RF performance is degraded and the battery
needs to be replaced.
3: Power on-off switch*
- Use this to turn the HT5 on
or off (to conserve battery power, be sure to leave it off
when not in use).
4: Gain control (trimpot)
- This input sensitivity
control has been factory preset to provide optimum
level for the particular microphone capsule provided
with your XP40iw system and so we recommend that
this not be adjusted manually. If necessary, however, you can use the supplied plastic
screwdriver to raise or lower the input level. See the “Setting Up and Using Your XP40iw
System” section on page 5 in this manual for more information.
5: Battery holder
- Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure to observe
the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We recommend the Duracell MN 1604 type
battery. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate
current for more than four hours.
WARNING:
Do not insert the battery backwards; doing
so can cause severe damage to the HT5 and will void your warranty.
* Be sure to turn down the WIRELESS LEVEL control before turning transmitter power on or off, or
an audible pop may result.
