[. . . ] Unscrew the microphone head. ³ 16 Using the devices Do not touch the contacts of the radio microphone nor the contacts of the microphone head. The contacts can become dirty or damaged if touched. When unscrewing the microphone head during operation, the muting function is automatically activated. When screwing the microphone head back to the radio microphone, the muting function is deactivated. Put the radio microphone back into operation. Changing the color-coded protection ring The color-coded protection ring º prevents the multi-function switch ¸ from accidental operation. The protection rings allow you to clearly identify each radio microphone. Remove the color-coded protection ring as shown in the left-hand diagram. Put on a new protection ring as shown in the right-hand diagram. º º º º Using the devices To establish a transmission link, proceed as follows: 1. The transmission link is established and the display backlighting of the receiver changes from red to orange. 17 Using the devices If you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and receiver: Make sure that transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency bank and to the same channel. If necessary, read the chapter "If a problem occurs . . . " on page 30. It is vital to observe the following notes: 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. Switching the devices on/off EM 500 receiver To switch the receiver on: ew500 G3 200 MHz KM500 E Briefly press the STANDBY button ¶. The receiver switches on and the "Receiver Parameters" standard display appears. ¶ To switch the receiver to standby mode: If necessary, deactivate the lock mode (see page 22). Keep the STANDBY button ¶ pressed until "OFF" appears on the display panel. When in the operating menu, pressing the STANDBY button ¶ will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the current standard display. To completely switch the receiver off: Disconnect the receiver from the mains by unplugging the mains unit from the wall socket. 18 Using the devices SK 500 bodypack transmitter ¿ ¸ ¸ µ To switch the bodypack transmitter on (online operation): Push the two catches ¸ and open the battery compartment cover µ. ON/OFF Briefly press the ON/OFF button . The red ON LED ¿ lights up and the standard display "Frequency/Name" appears on the display panel. You can switch the bodypack transmitter on and deactivate the RF signal on switchon. For more information, see below. To switch the bodypack transmitter off: If necessary, deactivate the lock mode (see page 22). ON/OFF Press the ON/OFF button until "OFF" appears on the display panel. When in the operating menu, pressing the ON/OFF button will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the current standard display. To switch the bodypack transmitter on and to deactivate the RF signal on switch-on (offline operation): SET Press the ON/OFF button until "RF Mute On?" appears on the display panel. SET Press the SET button ¶. The transmission frequency is displayed but the bodypack transmitter does not transmit an RF signal. When the pilot tone function is activated on both bodypack transmitter and receiver, "RF Mute" appears on the receiver's display panel. 543. 200 MHz ew500 G3 AF P MUTE 19 Using the devices Use this function to save battery power or to prepare a bodypack transmitter for use during live operation without causing interference to existing transmission links. To activate the RF signal: SET SET Briefly press the ON/OFF button . The transmission icon is displayed again. SKM 500 radio microphone ¹ ¾ To switch the radio microphone on (online operation): ON/OFF Briefly press the ON/OFF button ¹.
