AKG Acoustics WMS 400 - Manual (Page 3)

Explanation to Quick Guide Menu for
WMS400 Wireless Microphone System
Activate SR400 power switch and unlock controls (fig. 1-4 WMS400 Quick
guide). Attach antenna and power supply to receiver and install batteries into the
transmitter(s). Once the receiver is powered on, the receiver must be switched from
LOCK mode to SETUP mode in order to change internal settings. To do so, hold
down the enter button (O) located on the right side of the receiver front panel for
about 1 1/2 seconds. The LOCK indicator will disappear from the panel display when
switched to SETUP mode. Once in SETUP mode, use the left and right arrow keys
(< or >) buttons to find the parameter you want to change. There are three set up
screens for selecting the receiving frequency (Auto Group, Auto Channel and Preset).
For single channel set up, it is recommended to use the AUTO group screen.
Select AUTO group (fig. 5, 6). Using the arrow buttons, find AUTO group. Press
the enter button briefly. Again, use the arrow keys to choose the number of channels
to be used. Press enter. The receiver will automatically find a Group with the
selected number of clean frequencies within the selected Preset and tune to the first
clean frequency. Name should now be flashing.
Select Name (fig. 7-10). The banks of internal channel presets are specific to
certain countries. The two letter abbreviation indicates the country in which the unit
is to be used. The receiver comes programmed for country code AT (Austria). Using
the arrow keys find US. Press enter. Name, Group and Channel should now be
flashing. Press enter. When prompted to save the settings (Save-Y), press enter
again or use the right arrow key to select Save-N and press enter to go back and
change settings. Once settings have been saved, the receiver will flash PROG IR.
Program IR (fig. 11-15). Note: HT400 and PT400 transmitters can not be placed in
Program IR mode from the on position. If the transmitter is already powered on,
switch it to Off, then to Mute/Prg. The infrared sensor on the SR400 receiver is
within a rectangle located on the right side of the face above the arrow keys. The IR
sensor on the HT400 handheld transmitter is located just above the LCD display and
behind the letters “IR”. The IR sensor on the PT400 is located on top of the unit next
to the antenna. At this point, the transmitter must be programmed to match the
receiver channel setting. Be sure that the battery is properly installed in the
transmitter. Switch the transmitter from the off position to the MUTE/Prg (middle)
position. Hold the transmitter so that the IR sensor is 3-4 inches from the receiver IR
sensor and briefly press the receiver enter button. If programming of the
transmitter is successful, the receiver will display IR OK. If not, the receiver display
will read IR ERR. Pressing the receiver enter button will allow for another attempt.
