Operating the BT-1KU
Bodypack Transmitter
During normal operation with the unit
powered on, the transmitter power level
can be changed by sliding the
rF Power
Switch (42)
to “H” to increase the
transmitted RF power (for longer range)
or to “L” to decrease the RF power
(reduced range). This is a useful feature as
the “L” setting increases battery life and
also optimizes the number of channels
that can be used simultaneously in a given
location. Use this setting for normal use not
requiring maximum operating range. A range
walk test before use will determine which
setting is best for your application.
The
Power Off/Mute/On Switch (34)
has
three positions and functions both as a
power on/off and as an audio mute on/
off switch. After the unit is powered on,
slide the power switch to the on position
to un-mute the audio. To mute/un-mute
the audio during use, set the power switch
accordingly. The transmitter is now ready
to use. Slide the On/Off switch to the on
position and the microphone is now ready
to use. The receiver’s
rF Signal Meter (7)
and
Diversity a/B (3)
indicators should now
be on, indicating a received signal from the
transmitter. When ready to transmit audio,
slide the power switch
to on to un-mute.
To mute, slide the power switch to Mute
again. Adjust the volume of the receiver
per
Connecting Audio Output
.
Note:
Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or
screeching) by taking care in selecting PA volume,
transmitter location and speaker placement.
Note:
The RF Signal meter and the Diversity A/B
indicator on the receiver’s LCD display should be
“On” in normal operation.
Instrument Use (BT-1KU/GT only)
Secure the connection of the GT (instrument)
cable by lining up the slot of the 3.5mm
mini connector and turning the ring to
securely lock in. When ready to play, slide
the
Power Off/Mute/On switch (26)
to ON
position to un-mute the audio. Adjust the
volume on the receiver for one-to-one unity
gain (possible with Input Level set to 0dB
only) with a hardwired cord or select up
to an added 4-5dB boost by adjusting the
receiver volume to maximum for normal
use with guitars and bass guitars.
Note:
The audio level should be adjusted on the
instrument as when using a hard-wired cord.
