Adjust Audio Output Levels

This sets the audio output level at the Audio Output

XLR Jacks. The front panel LEVEL knob is only for

adjusting the loudness at the PHONES jack.

The key is to provide as high a level signal as possible

without overdriving the input to external equipment or

driving a subsequent stage in the signal chain into limit­

ing or compression. Ideally, the gain needed to drive

the rest of the signal chain should be present at the

receiver outputs, with each successive stage in other

equipment set to unity (no gain or loss).

Setting Transmitter Battery Status Monitoring

The receiver will monitor the status of the battery in the

transmitter and display it in several places on the LCD.

The type of battery being used in the transmitter must

be defined in the receiver. Setup is a quick process.

Note: In 200 Series and Digital Hybrid (400 Series)

compatibility modes, battery telemetry is available

and all TxBatt modes are valid. In all other

compatibility modes, only the battery timer modes

will work.

1. Navigate to SetupRx then select TxBatt and press

the knob.

NOTE: In OptiBlend (ratio diversity) and

Frequency Diversity modes, the Receiver Modules

are paired (1-2, 3-4, 5-6). Setting the audio level

output on one of the receivers in the pair, sets the

audio output to the same level on both of them.

1.

Navigate to the SetUpRx, then select Level. Use

the Receiver Select buttons to select the receiver

module rotate the knob to the desired output level.

2. If you want to to use the tone generator to adjust for

the maximum level, press the Function Button. The

TONE indicator will reverse to a dark background

with light letters. Then rotate the knob to set the

desired level.

NOTE: The 1 kHz reference tone is equivalent to

full modulation at the transmitter. It is LOUD.

3. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all receiver modules.

Selecting Audio Phase

Select the receiver with the button under the LCD. Press

the knob to enter the SetUpRx menu and select Phase.

Rotate the knob either direction to select NORMAL or

INVERT as needed.

battery type in the transmitter on that channel.

3. Continue for each receiver module as needed.

If the selected receiver module is part of a ratio diver­

sity pair, then setting the TxBatt type monitoring for one

receiver in the pair automatically sets the TxBatt type

for the other receiver. If the selected receiver module is

part of a frequency diversity pair, the battery type is set

independently for each receiver in the pair.

Using the Pilot Tone Bypass

The pilot tone can be manually bypassed to open the

audio output of the receiver regardless of the presence

of a transmitter as a diagnostic tool.
