(repeats)
The
(Up) or (Down) Buttons
(31)
work in
the set mode only. They can be used to
change any Group/Channel as selected
(if not using IR Sync from receiver).
They can also be used to select the desired
Input audio level VOL setting. Or they can
be used to turn on the LCD display.
During manual programming, the selected
function will flash for five seconds, or press
the Set button to confirm the selection and
the display will return to the main menu.
Setting up the Transmitter
The HT-1KU requires two AA size batteries
to operate. To install the batteries onto
the battery compartment, unscrew the
Battery Compartment Cover (24)
by turning
counterclockwise until loose and slide down
the cover, exposing the
Battery Compartment
(37)
. Insert two fresh AA batteries according
to the correct polarity as indicated on the
transmitter body. Screw the battery cover
back onto the microphone, making sure it is
securely tightened. Fresh alkaline batteries
can provide up to 8-10 hours of operation,
but in order to ensure optimal performance
it is recommended that the batteries
be replaced after 6-8 hours of use or as
indicated to be necessary by the flashing
Battery “BaTT” Meter Icon (30)
.
Powering the Transmitter On/Off
To turn on the transmitter, slide the
Power On/Off Switch (34)
to the “ON”
position. The LCD backlight will light up,
indicating the unit is now on. After ten
seconds the backlight will automatically
turn off to conserve battery life. The
Group
(27), Channel (28), Input Volume level (29), and
Battery Meter (30)
indicator icons stay on
for normal operation.
As many of the LCD battery levels should
stay lit as possible, as they indicate usable
battery strength. As the batteries weaken,
fewer of the level indicators will stay lit until
only one bar shows, which will then flash to
warn that the batteries are now too low and
should be replaced as soon as possible with
fresh ones.
To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter
off when not in use. To turn the transmitter
off, slide the power on/off switch to the
“OFF” position. The LCD will display “OFF,”
no LCD or backlight is lit up and the unit will
be off.
At Power Off the transmitter will store
the last settings entered and re-display
them at the next power on where it can be
reprogrammed to any new Group/Channel
or Volume level at the first time of use or
anytime later. The factory default setting for
Volume -10dB is same for all transmitters.
These settings are optimal for most
applications.
Programming the HT-1KU
to the Selected Channel
The transmitter can be programmed to the
same frequency as selected for the receiver,
either via automatic synchronization using
the IR Sync function or manually on the
transmitter itself.
