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.
Slide the On/Off switch to the “ON”
position and the microphone is now ready
to use. The receiver’s RF Signal Meter (12)
and one Diversity A or B Indicator (2) should
now be on, indicating a received signal from
the transmitter. 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.
The RF Signal meter and the Diversity A or B
indicator on the receiver’s LCD display should be
“ON” in normal operation.
BT-1KU Bodypack Transmitter
(LT, LT/HM or GT)
Setting up the Transmitter
The BT-1KU bodypack requires two AA
Batteries (50) to operate. To install the
batteries into the battery compartment, lift
the Battery Compartment Door (46) by grabbing
the two spring-loaded locking tabs and pull
out, exposing the Battery Compartment (45).
Insert two fresh AA batteries according
to the correct polarity as indicated on the
transmitter body. Close the battery cover,
ensuring the cover is snapped shut. Fresh
alkaline batteries can last provide up to 8-10
hours of operation, but in order to ensure
optimum performance it is recommended
that the batteries be replaced after 6-8 hours
of use or as indicated necessary by the
flashing Battery Meter “BATT” Icon (33).
