Adjusting the output power – “POWER”
The transmitter features switchable output power. With reduced output power, the operating
time increases.
In addition, you can also adjust the transmitter to “Low Intermodulation mode” (“LoI”). By so
doing, the transmitter’s intermodulation performance is significantly improved, especially in
multi-channel operation. In “Low Intermodulation mode”, the output power is reduced to
10 mW; the operating time will be about the same as using an output power of 50 mW.

Cleaning the bodypack transmitter
Cleaning the bodypack transmitter
Liquids can damage the electronics of the bodypack transmitter!
CAUTION
Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a short-circuit and damage
the electronics.
̈ Keep all liquids away from the bodypack transmitter.
̈ Use a cloth to clean the bodypack transmitter from time to time.
̈ Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.
Recommendations and tips
Tips for optimum reception
•
•
Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and on the selected output power.
There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas.
To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting
and receiving antennas.
Tips for multi-channel operation
•
When operating a multi-channel system, make sure to only use intermodulation-free
frequencies.
