[. . . ] The transmission link is established and the receiver's RF level display "RF" reacts. If you cannot establish a transmission link between radio microphone and receiver, refer to the chapter "Synchronizing the radio microphone with a receiver" on page 25. Switching the radio microphone on/off P ¾ ¹ To switch the radio microphone on (online operation): ON/OFF Briefly press the ON/OFF button ¹. The standard display "Frequency/Name" appears on the display panel. The transmission icon is displayed. 12 Using the radio microphone You can switch the radio microphone on and deactivate the RF signal on switch-on.

To switch the radio microphone on and to deactivate the RF signal on switch-on (offline operation): ON/OFF Keep the ON/OFF button pressed until "RF Mute On?" appears on the display panel. The transmission frequency is displayed but the radio microphone does not transmit an RF signal. As a result, adjustments to the settings can be made quickly ­ even in stressful situations, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation. Make use of the possibility to adjust settings via the operating menu of the receiver and to transfer these settings to the radio microphone. For more information on how to transfer settings to the radio microphone, refer to the instruction manual of your receiver. The relevant information is marked with the sync icon.

Activating/deactivating the automatic lock mode ­ "Auto Lock" Menu Auto Lock Active Call up "Auto Lock" To enter a name, proceed as follows: Auto Lock Active Select the desired setting Auto Lock Inactive Store the setting "Stored" The lock mode prevents that the radio microphone is accidentally switched off or programed during operation. The lock mode icon on the current standard display indicates that the lock mode is activated. For information on how to use the lock mode, refer to page 14. The extended menu "Advanced Menu" Setting transmission frequencies for the frequency bank "U" ­ "Tune" When you have selected one of the system banks and then select the "Tune" menu, the radio microphone automatically switches to channel 1 of the frequency bank "U". Upon delivery, the channels of the frequency bank "U" are not assigned a transmission frequency. When you are in the "Tune" menu item, the RF signal is deactivated. Via the "Tune" menu item, you can set a transmission frequency to be stored in the current channel or you can select a different channel in the frequency bank "U" and assign this channel a transmission frequency. 22 Adjusting settings via the operating menu It is vital to observe the notes on frequency selection on page 25 Setting a transmission frequency for the current channel Move the multi-function switch until the "Tune" menu item appears.
