The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched
off. It also suppresses sudden noise when there is no longer sufficient
transmitter power received by the receiver.
̈ Adjust the squelch threshold – with the transmitter switched off – to
the lowest possible setting that suppresses hissing noise.
In der Einstellung „High“ der Rauschsperren-Schwelle wird die
Reichweite der Übertragungsstrecke unter ungünstigen Empfangs-

CAUTION!
Danger of hearing damage and material damage!
If you switch the squelch off or adjust the squelch threshold to a very low
value, loud hissing noise can occur in the receiver. The hissing noise can be
loud enough to cause hearing damage or overload the loudspeakers of
your system!
̈ Always make sure that the squelch is switched on (see below).
̈ Before adjusting the squelch threshold, set the volume of the audio
output level (“AF Out”, see page 36) to the minimum.
̈ Never change the squelch threshold during a live transmission.
The squelch should only be switched off for servicing purposes werden.
With the squelch threshold set to “Low”, you switch the squelch off by
keeping the DOWN button pressed for 3 seconds.

Synchronizing transmitters with receivers
Synchronizing transmitters with
receivers
When synchronizing a transmitter with a receiver, please observe the
following:
̈ Only use a transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency
range (see the type plate on the transmitter and the receiver).
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed
frequency information sheet.
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal
in your country and, if necessary, apply for an operating license.
Synchronizing a transmitter with the receiver –
individual operation
Upon delivery, transmitter and receiver are synchronized with each other.
If, however, you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter
and receiver, you have to synchronize the channels of the devices.

For information on the setting options of the transmitter, refer to the
instruction manual of the transmitter.
You can also freely select the receiving frequencies and store these
frequencies in the frequency bank “U”.
If you are using frequencies from the frequency banks “U”, it might
be that the receiving frequencies are not intermodulation-free.
To ensure that the desired frequencies are intermodulation-free:

Recommendations and tips
Recommendations and tips
... for optimum reception
•
Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can
vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of
sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas.
•
If, with the EM 100 G3 receiver, reception conditions are unfavourable,
you should use two remote antennas which are connected via
antenna cable.
•
•
To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m
between transmitting and receiving antennas.
Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm between receiving antennas
and metal objects (such as cross members or reinforced-concrete
walls). Align the antennas upwards in a V-shape.
... for multi-channel operation
•
Each of the frequency banks “1” to “20” accommodates factory-
preset receiving frequencies which are intermodulation-free. For
possible frequency combinations, please refer to the supplied
frequency information sheet.
•
•
The channels in the frequency bank “U” can be assigned freely select-
able frequencies (see page 39).
When using several transmitters simultaneously, interference can be
avoided by maintaining a minimum distance of 20 cm between two
transmitters.
•
Use accessories recommended by Sennheiser for multi-channel appli-
cations (see page 49).
