ADJUSTING THE TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY

If you are experiencing interference from another signal on your frequency,
you may want to change the operating frequency of your system. The left
switch changes the operating frequency by 1.6 MHz per step and the right
switch changes it 100 kHz per step. If you are experiencing interference,
change the operating frequency in 100 kHz steps to find a clear channel. If it
is not possible to find a clear channel using the 100 kHz switch, return it to
its original position and change the 1.6 MHz switch by one click then try the

1.6M

100K

100 kHz switch again. Some Lectrosonics receivers have a built-in frequency
scanner which makes finding a clear channel very easy. See the separate receiver manual for instructions.

To gain access to these switches, unscrew the retaining bolt that holds the access door to the case. It is not neces­
sary to remove the bolt from the case since it is retained by the case with enough room to still remove the access
door. Pull the access door away from the case and swing the door to the side to gain access to the frequency
switches.

MICROPHONE RF BYPASSING

response; RF is likely to be the cause.

The best RF protection is accomplished by installing RF
bypass capacitors at the mic capsule. If this is not
possible, or if you are still having problems, capacitors
can be installed on the mic wires inside the TA5F connec­
tor housing.

Install the capacitors as follows: Use 330 pF capacitors.
Capacitors are available from Lectrosonics. Please
specify the part number for the desired lead style.

Leaded capacitors: P/N 15117

Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P
