Adjusting settings via the operating menu The main menu "Menu" Synchronizing a transmitter with the diversity receiver ­ "Sync" You can synchronize a suitable transmitter of the 2000 series with the receiver. By default, the following parameters are transferred to the transmitter during synchronization: Setting "Name" "Pilot Tone" Transferred parameters Current name set for the receiver (see page 23) Current pilot tone setting of the receiver ("Inactive"/"Active", see page 27) "Frequency Preset" Current receiving frequency (see page 23) 19 Adjusting settings via the operating menu Via the "Sync Settings" submenu, you can adjust additional parameters to be transferred to the transmitters (see page 16 and 28). To transfer these parameters: Switch the transmitter and the diversity receiver on. Place the infra-red interface of the transmitter (see the instruction manual of the transmitter) in front of the infra-red interface of the receiver ¹. ¹ The parameters are transferred to the transmitter. When the transfer is completed, " " appears on the display panel of the diversity receiver. " " also appears if: ­ no transmitter was found or the transmitter is not compatible, ­ no transmitter was found and the synchronization process was canceled after 30 seconds, ­ you canceled the transfer. 20 Adjusting settings via the operating menu Adjusting the volume at the headphone output ­ "Phones Volume" There are two ways to adjust the volume at the headphone output (PHONES): CAUTION!Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to permanent hearing defects. Set the volume to a low level before putting the headphones on Do not continuously expose yourself to high volumes. 1. When one of the standard displays is shown on the display panel: Press the rocker button to adjust the volume at the headphone output (PHONES). When you are in the operating menu: SET Menu Phones Volume 5 Call up "Phones Volume" Phones Volume 5 Select the desired setting Phones Volume 10 Store the setting SET "Stored" Adjustment range: 0 to 50 Adjusting the squelch threshold ­ "Squelch" SET Menu Squelch 5 dB Squelch 5 dB Select the desired setting Squelch 13 dB Store the setting SET Call up "Squelch" "Stored" Adjustment range: 5 to 25 dBV, adjustable in 2-dB steps, can be switched off The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off or when there is no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver. 21 Adjusting settings via the operating menu CAUTION! Danger of hearing 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. Before adjusting the squelch threshold, set the volume of the headphone output PHONES to the minimum (see page 21). Never change the squelch threshold during a live transmission. Adjust the squelch threshold ­ with the transmitter switched off ­ to the lowest possible setting that suppresses hissing noise. A high squelch threshold reduces the transmission range. The squelch should only be switched off for servicing purposes. With the squelch threshold set to "5 dB", you switch the squelch off by keeping the DOWN rocker button pressed for 3 seconds. The dotted line goes off and the audio level display "AF" shows full deflection (hissing noise). displays the squelch 823. 925 MHz **2000** RF AF P MUTE 823. 925 MHz **2000** RF AF P If you have accidentally switched off the squelch: Press the UP rocker button to switch the squelch on.
