Selecting Audio Phase

Microphone wiring and other vagaries can alter the

phase of an audio signal. To compensate for this, the

phase of the audio output of each receiver module can

be inverted.

1. Navigate to the Phase setup screen.

2.

Select each receiver module with the Receiver

Select Button and adjust the phase with the MENU/SE-

LECT control.

Selecting Transmitter Battery Status

Monitoring Mode

The receiver will monitor the status of the batteries in

the transmitters and display it when used with certain

transmitters, such as Lectrosonics 200 Series and Digi-

tal Hybrid models. The type of battery being used in the

transmitter must be defined in the TxBatt setup screen.

NOTE: The Compat Mode (compatibility mode)

set for each receiver module will determine which

battery monitoring methods are available

The TxBatt setup screen allows you to select the exact

battery being used in the transmitter to provide more

accurate battery level monitoring. Alkaline, lithium and

rechargeable AA and 9V types are commonly used.

The voltage declines gradually over the life of alkaline

and lithium types, so the voltage can be estimated and

displayed by the receiver. Rechargeable types, on the

other hand, maintain almost constant voltage as they

discharge, so a timer is provided in the receiver to

track operating time and anticipate the need for battery

changes.

1. Navigate to the TxBatt setup screen.

2. Select each receiver module with the Receiver

Select Button and set the battery type being used in

the corresponding transmitter.

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 re-

chargeable batteries, all or most of which 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.

If the selected receiver module is part of a ratio

diversity pair, the battery type will be automatically

set for both units in the pair. If the selected receiver

module is part of a frequency diversity pair, the

battery type is set independently for each receiver

in the pair since there are two transmitters in use.

3. When either the AA TIM or 9V TIM (timer) mode

is selected, press the Function Button to reset

(“ZERO”) the timer.
