The equivalent input circuit wiring for the Mic Jack is
shown below:
Audio Level
The Audio Level Control is used to adjust the audio
input level from the microphone for proper modulation of
the output signal from the transmitter.
Modulation LEDs
The two bicolor Modulation LEDs provide a visual
indication of the audio signal level input from the mi-
crophone. These LEDs can glow either red or green
to indicate modulation levels as shown in the following
chart.
Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED
Lessthan-20dB Off Off
-20dBto-10dB Green Off
-10dBto+0dB Green Green
+0dBto+10dB Red Green
Greaterthan+10db Red Red
WhenthePowerON/OFFSwitchisconguredfor
Audio Mute Mode, the -10 Modulation LED is also used
to indicate if the transmitter is in an audio muted, or an
unmuted condition. In Audio Mute Mode, if the Power
ON/OFFswitchissettoOFF,thetransmitterremains
powered up; however, the audio is muted and the -10
Modulation LED blinks green.
IfthePowerON/OFFswitchissettoONandtheswitch
is configured for Audio Mute Mode, -10 and -20 LEDs
operate normally to indicate audio level.

Frequency Select Switches
Two 16-position rotary Frequency Select Switches are
used to select the operating frequency, for setting Com-
patiblityModesandforconguringthePowerON/OFF
switch.
The switches are accessed by loosening the retaining
screw holding the cover plate, lifting the cover away
fromthehousingandrotatingittoexposetheswitches.
For setting the operating frequency, the left switch
(1.6MHz)adjuststheoperatingfrequencyupordownin
1.6MHzincrements.Therightswitch(100kHz)ad-
juststhefrequencyupordownin100kHzincrements.
(See Operating Instructions, Adjusting the Transmitter
Frequency.)

Belt Clip
The belt clip may be removed for special applications
by gently spreading the spring wire clip and pulling
the ends out of the holes in the case. The clip can be
installed in either the up or down position so that when
the transmitter is worn, the antenna can be pointing up
or down. Replacement belt clips are available. (See
