Use the
̆
/

rocker button to select the desired
transmission frequency. Transmission frequencies are
tunable in 25-kHz steps within a switching bandwidth
of 36 MHz max. For intermodulation-free frequencies,
please refer to the enclosed frequency table.
Adjusting the sensitivity – SENSIT
Via the “ SENSIT ” menu, you can adjust the transmitter’s
input sensitivity.
The input sensitivity is adjusted too high when close talking
distances, speakers with loud voices or loud music passages
cause overmodulation in the transmission link. In this case,
the transmitter’s yellow LED (AF PEAK)
ᕤ
will light up.
If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the
transmission link will be undermodulated, which would
result in a signal with high background noise.
The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display
for audio signal “AF”
ቩ
shows full deflection only during
the loudest passages.
Note:
For monitoring the adjusted sensitivity, the
transmitter’s level display for audio signal “AF” always
indicates the audio level – even if the transmitter is
muted.
