User manual AKG WMS 470

[. . . ] This manual contains important instructions for setting up and operating your equipment. Please take a few minutes to read the instructions below carefully before operating the equipment. The lightning flash with arrowpoint in an equilateral triangle means that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. the exclamation point in an equilateral triangle on the equipment indicates that it is necessary for the user to refer to the User Manual. [. . . ] Optional RMS 4000 Remote Mute Switch The optional RMS 4000 Remote Mute Switch allows you to mute the transmitter if it is mounted in a position where it is difficult or impossible to use the "on-board" MUTE switch. Put the Remote Mute Switch in a jacket or shirt pocket or use the belt clip to clamp the Remote Mute Switch on the belt. Point the infrared sensor (1) on the transmitter at the infrared emitter (2) on the receiver from a distance of 4 inches (10 cm) max. To engage SILENT mode, push the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" and then to its center position. This is the only way to make sure you won't go "on air" on a frequency that is not allocated or coordinated and risk "jamming" or interfering with some other RF device or wireless system. Point the infrared sensor (1) on the transmitter at the infrared emitter (2) on the receiver from a distance of 4 inches (10 cm) max. If power to the transmitter is OFF or the RF level at the antennas is zero for some other reason (e. If the antennas receive RF signal, the green RF OK LED will be lit, the RF bargraph will indicate the field strength of the signal received by the active antenna, and the Diversity LEDs will indicate which antenna is currently active. If you have assigned a NAME to the receiver, powering the receiver up will cause the display to indicate the current frequency setting for 2 seconds and then change to the assigned name. You can power both the handheld and the bodypack transmitters with a standard AA size alkaline battery (LR6), an AA size lithium battery (FR6), or a 1. If you are using a new or a fully charged rechargeable battery the transmitter automatically identifies the type of battery and displays the minimal remaining capacity in hours. Approximately 1 hour before the battery will be dead the "LOW BAT" warning appears at the receiver and the backlighting turns red. To ensure an accurate readout, do not use any batteries other than - new, high quality AA size (LR6) alkaline dry batteries from Duracell or Energizer, - AA size (FR6) lithium batteries, or - high quality AA size NiMH rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 2100 mAh or higher. The display indicates the frequency in MHz, the frequency in Preset form, and "PRG IR", and subsequently changes to alternating between the currently selected Preset and "PRG IR". ⷠIf you switched from "OFF" to "MUTE/PRG": The transmitter audio and RF sections are OFF and the status LED is dark. ⷠIf you switched from "ON" to "MUTE/PRG": The microphone is muted and the status LED (20) will change from green to red. The status LED changes to green and the display indicates the remaining battery capacity in hours. In SETUP mode, the electronic lock is disabled so you can adjust all receiver parameters. The following setup screens are available: - Automatic setup - Manual Group/Channel setup - Manual frequency selection - Handheld transmitter gain - Advanced functions (EXTRA menu) · Start by finding a clean frequency. Clean frequencies are frequencies where the receiver finds no RF signal or an RF signal whose level is lower than the current threshold setting. If the receiver has found enough CHANNELs for your system, confirm the selected GROUP. If the clean CHANNELs found are fewer than required, use the arrow keys to select a different GROUP. [. . . ] In this case, it is often enough to move away from the microphone a little to stop the feedback. Ask your backing vocalists never to sing more than 35 degrees off the microphone axis. If the two vocalists were to sing into the microphone from a wider angle than 35 degrees, you may end up bringing up the fader of the microphone channel far enough to create a feedback problem. This makes the microphone even less sensitive to sounds arriving from the sides, resulting in higher gain before feedback when you use monitor speakers on stage. [. . . ]
