4,5 RF LEDs: The green OK LED (4) is lit to indicate the receiver is
receiving RF signal, the red MUTE LED (5) indicates that no signal is
being received.
6 A and B diversity LEDs: These two LEDs are lit to indicate which

8 Infrared emitter: Transmits frequency data from the receiver to
the bodypack transmitter. The infrared emitter has a very narrow
radiation angle (approx. 10°) and a maximum range of 8 inches (20
cm) to make sure only one transmitter will be tuned to the same
frequency.
9 Output level control: This retractable rotary control attenuates
the level of the balanced audio output continuously by 0 to 30 dB.

Bodypack Transmitter

i Refer to fig. 4 on page iv.
17 Infrared sensor: Receives the infrared signal emitted by
the receiver for automatically setting the transmitter's carrier
frequency.
18 LCD display: Indicates the selected frequency in MHz or as a Preset
sub-channel, current mode, error messages, as well as the available
battery capacity in 1-hour increments for dry and 2-hour incre-
ments for rechargeable batteries.

ON: The output signal is fed to the transmitter for transmission to
the receiver (normal mode). The status LED (20) is lit green.

instrument cable. The ITC3 instrument cable lets you connect an
electric guitar, electric bass, or remote keyboard to the bodypack
transmitter.
27 Frequency sticker: Sticker attached to the transmitter, indicating
the available carrier frequency range and approval data.
28 Battery compartment for the supplied AA size 1.5 V dry battery
or a commercial 1.2 V, ≥2100 mAh NiMH AA size rechargeable
battery. The viewing window lets you check if there is a dry or
rechargeable battery inside the battery compartment. You can
also insert a white lettering strip (supplied) or a color code strip
(optional) into the viewing window.
29 Belt clip for fixing the transmitter to your belt.
30 MUTE jack: This jack allows you to connect the supplied terminal
connector for locking the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch to prevent
operating errors.
31 Gain control: This rotary control inside the battery compartment
allows you to match the bodypack transmitter input gain to the
instrument you connected to the transmitter.
2. SETTING UP
Rack Mounting Receiver
• If you install one or more receivers into a 19" rack, either mount
