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.

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.
