Standby Mode
Standby Mode allows the user to verify or change the 
transmitter’s operating frequency or audio input level 
without transmitting any signals. Standby Mode can 
only be invoked from a power off condition.
Quickly press and release both the AUDIO and FREQ 
buttons simultaneously to enter and exit this mode.
Selecting the 
Compatibility Mode
All Digital Hybrid Wireless™ 
receivers are capable of work-
ing with the Lectrosonics HM 
transmitter. By selecting the proper compatibility mode, 
the SM will also work with 200 Series, 100 Series and 
IFB analog receivers, plus some other analog wire-
less receivers (contact the factory for details). Setting 
the Compatibility Mode of the transmitter to match the 
receiver is easily done via the Control Panel.
Note: RF transmission is prevented while selecting 
Compatibility Modes. Also, the HM exits the 
Compatibility Mode screen to Standby Mode. (See 
Standby Mode, this section.)
Note: The unit comes from the factory configured 
as a 400 Series transmitter.
1)  Set the receiver’s audio controls to minimum.
2)  Power up the HM and observe the Boot Sequence. 
If the Compatibility Mode for the HM does not 
match the corresponding receiver, then power off 
the HM transmitter.
3)  From a power off condition, hold down the Up 
arrow, then simultaneously press the AUDIO and 
FREQ buttons.
4)  The LCD will display the current Compatibility 
Mode. Use the Up or Down arrow buttons to set 
the Compatibility Mode to match the corresponding 
receiver.
  The following Compatibility Modes are available:
•100Seriesmode: CP100 
•200Seriesmode: CP200 
•Mode3(Contactdealerfordetails): CP3 
•400Seriesmode: CP400 
•IFBSeriesmode: CPIFB 
•Mode6(Contactdealerfordetails): CP6
5)  The Compatibility Mode selected in Step 4 will be 
the current Compatibility Mode until reset using this 
procedure. Pressing the AUDIO or FREQ exits into 
Standby Mode. To power off from the compatibility 
mode screen, press AUDIO and FREQ together.
Power Up and Boot Sequence
1)  Ensure that good batteries are installed in the unit. 
(See Battery Installation.)
2)  Simultaneously press and hold the AUDIO and 
FREQ buttons until the Power On Boot Sequence is 
initiated. (See Power On Timer.) As the unit turns 
on, the Modulation LEDs and PWR LED all glow red, 
then green, and then they revert to normal opera-
tion, i.e., the Modulation LEDs glow according to the 
audio level present at the Audio Input Jack and the 
PWR LED glows green (with good batteries).
