Putting the radio microphone into operation
Putting the radio microphone into
operation
Inserting, removing and changing the
power pack
For powering the radio microphone, you can either use the Sennheiser
B 5000-2 battery box (1.5 V AA size batteries) or the rechargeable
Sennheiser BA 5000-2 battery pack. For regular use, we recommend using
the environmentally friendly rechargeable BA 5000-2 battery pack.
For battery pack operation of the radio microphone, only use the
BA 5000-2 battery pack in order to ensure optimum operational
reliability. Batteries and rechargeable battery cells have different
discharging curves. The radio microphone is able to identify the
BA 5000-2 battery pack and to use its capacity to the full. Individual
rechargeable battery cells in the B 5000-2 battery box will not be
identified as battery packs.

Recharging the BA 5000-2 battery pack
Before using the BA 5000-2 battery pack (see “ Accessories” on page 30)
for the first time or if you have not used it for several weeks, you must
charge the battery pack completely.
The L 50 charger (see “ Accessories” on page 30) can charge two
BA 5000-2 battery packs simultaneously.

The battery pack is carefully charged using the −ΔU-method. For
further details, please refer to the user manual of the L 50 charger.

•
The maximum capacity of is reduced due
to natural ageing of the cells. The
BA 5000-2 battery pack measures the
maximum capacity and therefore displays
less than 100% capacity for older cells –
even when they have been fully charged.

Adjustment tips for the operating menu
Adjustment tips for the operating
menu
When setting frequencies on the radio microphone, please observe
the following:
̈
Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the
enclosed frequency table and approved and legal in your
country. If necessary, apply for an operating license.
For an overview of the frequencies and transmission powers,
refer to the enclosed supplement “Legal requirements for the
use of radiomicrophones”.
Selecting a channel – “CHAN”
Via the “CHAN” menu, you can switch between the channels in the channel
banks “FIX” and “VAR“. The radio microphone is not transmitting while
this adjustment is being made.
When changing to the setting mode of the “CHAN” menu, the current
channel number appears on the display. After approx. 1 second, the

the display panel for approx. 1 second and then the currently assigned
frequency is displayed.
Only after the new setting has been stored (“STORED” has appeared
on the display panel) does the transmitter operate on the
transmission frequency of the new channel.
Selecting the frequencies to be stored in
the channel bank “VAR” – “TUNE”
Via the “TUNE” menu, you can freely select the frequencies to be stored in

Adjustment tips for the operating menu
When you have selected the channel bank “FIX” and then select the
“TUNE” menu, the radio microphone automatically switches to

The transmission frequencies are tunable in 5-kHz steps within a switching
bandwidth of 184 MHz max.
When operating a multi-channel system, make sure to only use
intermodulation-free frequencies.

Adjusting the microphone sensitivity –
“ATTEN”
Via the “ATTEN” menu, you can adjust the radio microphone’s sensitivity
by changing its input attenuation.
The input attenuation is correctly adjusted
when the level display for audio signal “AF”

shows full deflection ቪ only during the
loudest passages. The input attenuation can
be adjusted in 1-dB steps from –40 dB to 0 dB.

Adjusting the low-cut frequency –
“LOWCUT”
To reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as engine, wind and rumble
noise, you can activate a low-cut filter. The low-cut frequency can be set to
190 Hz or 120 Hz.
If you do not want to reduce low-frequency signal portions, select the
setting “FLAT”.

Maintenance and care
Adjusting the output power – “POWER”
The radio microphone features switchable output power. With reduced
output power, the operating time increases.
In addition, you can also adjust the radio microphone to “Low
Intermodulation mode” (“LoI”). By so doing, the radio microphone’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.
Displaying the software revision – “SW--REV”
You can display the current software revision of the radio microphone by
calling up the “SW--REV” menu item.
Exiting the operating menu – “EXIT”
Via the “EXIT” menu, you can exit the operating menu and return to the
standard display.
cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display
without saving any changes.
Maintenance and care
CAUTION!
Liquids can damage the electronics of the radio
microphone!
Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a
short-circuit and damage the electronics.
̈ Keep all liquids away from the radio microphone.
̈
̈
Use a cloth to clean the radio microphone from time to time.
Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.
