Power Management
CHARGING
It is best to completely charge the QT-5100 before use. To charge a transmitter, insert the supplied micro USB
charging cable and connect to a USB power source (QT-5100 should NOT be connected to a computer and should
be connected with a charge only cable.). For the AquaMic, the charge/data dongle needs to be attached between
micro USB charger and the AquaMic. The charge light will turn from red and to green once the unit is charged. If
the charge LED is flashing green/red, there is a charging error. If this happens check and or replace the charging
cable or the micro USB power supply. The battery will also not change if the battery temperature is below 0° C
or above 60° C. The battery charge level can be checked with a QG-H2 MicCommander or a QG-N3 gateway and
MicControl.
STORAGE MODE
When the QT-
5100
transmitter is in storage mode, the transmitter will be completely off and will not respond
to any commands from the QG-H2 handheld MicCommander or QG-N3 Gateway. If the transmitter is in storage
mode as opposed to a battery run down condition, when the charger is inserted it will wake up and report the
battery level via the <Charge> LED and the MicCommander. There are three ways to bring a QT-5100 out of
storage mode and into standby mode:
•
Connect the transmitter to a USB charger.
•
Press the On/Off button for 3 seconds for any unit with the physical ON/OFF button.
•
Insert the reset key into the USB connector or charge/data dongle for the AquaMic, this will reset the TX and place the TX into storage
mode. Next plug in the charger to bring the TX out of storage mode.
STANDBY MODE
In standby mode, the transmitter is transmitting a 2.4 GHz heartbeat every 1.5 seconds, and the transmitter is not
transmitting the UHF carrier. The heartbeat contains configuration data, such as RF frequency, output power and
mic offset. The heartbeat also contains status information such as battery level, mute status and 2.4 GHz channel.
In standby mode, the transmitter will respond to commands to change parameters and to turn to the ON mode or
storage mode. Transmitters with an On/Off button (not AquaMic) enter standby in three ways:
•
Entering the “STBY” command from the MicCommander status and control menu (this is the only way to enter standby for the
AquaMic since it does not have an On/Off button).
•
3 second hold of the On/Off button will toggle between ON and STBY.
•
12 second hold of the On/Off button will reset the transmitter and return it to its prior mode.
ON MODE
In ON mode, the transmitter is transmitting the UHF carrier and continuing to send 2.4 GHz heartbeats every 1.5
seconds. In this state the transmitter will respond to commands to change parameters, and to turn to the standby
mode or storage mode.
