AUDIO Button
The AUDIO button is used to display the gain and low frequency roll-off settings. The
UP and DOWN arrows adjust the values. This button is also used with the FREQ button
to enter standby mode and to power the transmitter on or off.
FREQ Button
The FREQ button displays the selected operating frequency and also toggles the LCD
between displaying the actual operating frequency in MHz and a two-digit hexadecimal
number that corresponds to the equivalent Lectrosonics Frequency Switch Setting.
This button is also used with the AUDIO button to enter standby mode and to power the
transmitter on or off.
Up/Down Arrows
The Up and Down arrow buttons are used to select the values on the various setup
screens and to lock out the control panel. Pressing both arrows simultaneously enters
the lock countdown. When an attempt is made to change a setting while the control
panel is locked, a message will flash on the LCD as a reminder that the unit is locked.
Once locked, the buttons can only be unlocked by removing the battery, or with the RM
remote control.
Antenna
The fixed whip antenna is made of a flexible, woven, galvanized steel mesh cable.
Preventing Corrosion
Whenever the transmitter has been exposed to moisture or perspiration, follow the
instructions below to minimize the risk of corrosion.
DRY THE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE MICROPHONE CONNECTOR OR BATTERY CAPS .
If the transmitter has been exposed to salt water, rinse it with fresh water and then dry it
thoroughly with a clean paper towel or cloth.
Dry the exterior of the transmitter with a clean paper towel or cloth. Remove all moisture
around the battery caps and microphone cable connector.
After removing the battery caps and microphone connector, wipe off any residual mois-
ture around the battery compartment and microphone jack openings and on the battery
caps and microphone connector.
The O-rings should be coated with Vaseline
® or an equivalent petroleum jelly* before
each use to ensure the seals are watertight.
DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PURE PETROLEUM JELLY TO LUBRICATE THE O-RINGS.
Silicon-based lubricants will dissolve the O-rings.
Store the unit with no batteries installed, battery caps removed and the microphone
disconnected. This will allow any buildup of humidity and moisture to evaporate.
