The "MUTE" display appears on the display panel. µ Activating/deactivating the lock mode The lock mode prevents that the transmitter is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation (see "Activating/deactivating the lock mode ­ LOCK" on page 55). 45 The operating menu The buttons Buttons Mode ON/OFF Standard display Operating menu Setting mode SET Standard display Operating menu Setting mode / To. . . switch the transmitter on and off cancel the entry and return to the standard display cancel the entry and return to the standard display get into the operating menu get into the setting mode of the selected menu store the settings and return to the top menu level without function change to the previous menu ( ) or change to the next menu () adjust the setting of the selected menu: option ( / ) Standard display Operating menu Setting mode 46 Overview of menus Display BANK CHAN TUNE SENSIT PHANTO DISPLY NAME LOCK EXIT Function of the menu Switching between channel banks Switching between the channels in a channel bank Setting a transmission frequency for the channel bank "U" (user bank) Adjusting the sensitivity (AF) Switching the phantom powering on/off Selecting the standard display Entering a name Activating/deactivating the lock mode Exiting the operating menu and returning to the standard display 47 Working with the operating menu By way of example of the "TUNE" menu, this section describes how to use the operating menu. After switching the transmitter on, the standard display is shown on the display panel. Getting into the operating menu Press the SET button to get from the standard display into the operating menu. Press the SET button to get into the setting mode of the selected menu. The current setting that can be adjusted flashes on the display. 48 Adjusting a setting Press the / buttons to adjust the setting. By briefly pressing the / buttons, the display jumps either forwards or backwards to the next setting. In the "CHAN", "TUNE" and "NAME" menu, the / buttons feature a "fast search" function. If you hold down a button, the display cycles continuously, allowing you to get fast and easily to your desired setting. "STORED" appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored. With most menus, new settings become effective immediately without having to be stored. An exception are the "BANK", "CHAN" and "TUNE" menus. With these menus, new settings only become effective after they have been stored ("STORED" appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored). Exiting the operating menu Select the "EXIT" menu to exit the operating menu and to return to the standard display. When in the operating menu, briefly pressing the ON/OFF button will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display with the last stored settings. 49 Operating menu of the plug-on transmitter SET EXIT BANK Changing the channel bank SET FIX 01 B.

For monitoring the adjusted sensitivity, the transmitter's level display for audio signal "AF" always indicates the audio level ­ even if the transmitter is muted. In order to be able to use highly sensitive directional condenser microphones, the plug-on transmitter offers a sensitivity range extended by 20 dB. The following figures are a guide to the best settings: dynamic microphones Loud music/vocals Presentations Interviews ­30 to ­20 dB ­20 to ­10 dB ­10 to 0 dB directional condenser microphones ­50 to ­40 dB ­40 to ­30 dB ­30 to ­20 dB 53 Switching the phantom powering on/off ­ PHANTO The plug-on transmitter can supply condenser microphones without internal power supply with 48 V phantom powering (P 48). The phantom powering can be switched on or off via the "PHANTO" menu. Please note: Dynamic microphones can be operated in phantom powering mode without harm. However, if no condenser microphone module is being used, you should switch off the phantom powering. With the phantom powering switched on, the operating time of the batteries or the BA 2015 accupack will be reduced. Selecting the standard display ­ DISPLY Via the "DISPLY" menu, you can select the standard display: "FREQ" "NAME" "CHAN" Entering a name ­ NAME Via the "NAME" menu, you can enter a freely selectable name for the transmitter.
