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. Selecting a menu Press the / rocker button to select a 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. Adjusting a setting Press the / rocker button to adjust the setting. By briefly pressing the / rocker button, the display jumps either forwards or backwards to the next setting. In the "CHAN", "TUNE" and "NAME" menu, the / rocker button features 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. 16 Storing a setting Press the SET button to store the setting. "STORED" appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored. The display then returns to the top menu level. With most menus, new settings become effective immediately without having to be stored. An exception are the "BANK", "CHAN", "TUNE" and "RESET" 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. 17 Operating menu of the transmitter SET EXIT BANK Changing the channel bank SET BANK 1 Current channel bank BANK U / : 1. . . 8, U (User Bank) SET: Stores the setting STORED SET CHAN Changing the channel 1. 03 B.

Each of the channel banks "1" to "8" has up to 20 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission frequency (see "The channel bank system" on page 4). The channel bank "U" (user bank) has up to 20 switchable channels to store your selection out of 1440 transmission frequencies that are freely selectable within the preset frequency range. When switching from one channel bank to another, the channel with the lowest channel number is automatically displayed. Switching between the channels ­ CHAN Via the "CHAN" menu, you can switch between the different channels in a channel bank. When switching between the channels, please observe the following: Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a transmission link to the same channel. Multi-channel operation Combined with ew 500 G2 receivers, the transmitter can form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel systems. For multi-channel operation, only use the free channels in a channel bank. Before putting the transmission links into operation, we recommend performing an auto scan (see operating manual of the receiver). Selecting the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank "U" ­ TUNE Via the "TUNE" menu, you can select the frequencies to be stored in the channel bank "U" (user bank). When you have selected one of the channel banks "1" to "8" and then select the "TUNE" menu, the transmitter automatically switches to channel 01 of the channel bank "U".
