BELT PACK OPERATION
The ergonomically designed BP-900 AnchorMAN belt pack features an XLR headset jack, heavy duty antenna, headset
volume control, microphone sensitivity control, group selection, PTT
(push to talk) and transmission indicator LED. The
belt pack is powered by 4
(included) “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries.
GROUP SELECTOR
To create a belt pack group, each member must set
their Group Selector to the same letter – A, B, C or D.
Press the GRP Button to change groups. The LED will
light indicating the selected Group
(A, B, C, D).
Example: Film Crew
The director assigns photography to Group A, sound
to Group B and lighting to Group C. He can then be
a part of any group by simply pressing the Group
Selector Button to the desired group.
Due to the unique environmental conditions found at some locations
(Example: Next to a radio station transmission
tower.) you may find that one of the four Group settings experiences disruptive interference. Simply discontinue use
of the effected Group and try the three remaining Groups to identify the clearest signal. For best results try the Group
farthest from the affected Group first
(If Group A has interference try Group D).
PUSH TO TALK MODE / ACTIVE MODE
Push to Talk Mode
(PTT) – Default mode when the PWR button is pushed.
Press PTT button to speak to Group, release PTT button to listen.
Active Mode – Hands free voice activated operation (VOX) requires adjust-
ing the Microphone Sensitivity level. Upon power up, belt packs default to
low requiring PTT operation. Push the “+” button repeatedly to increase
mic sensitivity until transmission is activated by the sound of your voice.
EU USERS: EU regulations limit continuous transmission time to five minutes.
This will require you to release the PTT button for one second before
continuing for another five minute maximum time period.
