1)
High-Pass Filter Selector Switch:
Select High-Pass switch position. Start with this switch set to the left (flat response). If the mic is in a location where low
frequency rumble or wind noise is a encountered, moving this switch to the right will help by reducing low frequency sensitivity.
Flat (
): Normal response.
High Pass (
): minimum 5dB reduction in sensitivity at 100Hz.
Polar Pattern Selector Switch:
Select preferred polar pattern. The cardioid polar pattern works well for most installations. If feedback from a sound system
occurs, switching to the supercardioid or hypercardioid pattern will usually allow increased mic gain before feedback. The
omnidirectional pattern is best suited for situations where there is no sound reinforcement system present, such as for recording.
Momentary/Toggle, PTM/PTT, On/Off Switches:
Control action of push-button switch on the top of the PC Desktop microphone, as well as the on or off status upon system
power-up.
Momentary Modes:
When Momentary/Toggle switch is set to the left, the push-button (mute) switch action is momentary.
In addition, if PTM/PTT switch is in the left hand position, the mic will be in push-to-mute mode.
Alternately, if PTM/PTT switch is in the right hand position, the mic will be in push-to-talk mode.
Toggle Modes:
When Momentary/Toggle switch is in the right hand position, the push-button (mute) switch will be in toggle (push-on/push-off)
mode. With Momentary/Toggle switch in the right hand position, the setting of on/off switch determines if the mic audio should
be muted when power is first applied.
If on/off switch is in the left hand position, the mic audio will be on when power is first applied.
If on/off switch is in the right hand position, mic audio will be muted when power is first applied.

Note: bodypack transmitter must have the "bodypack" button installed on the back of its housing. The bodypack does not ship
with this part attached.
3)
Insert bodypack into Satellite (see figure 3). "Bodypack" button inserts into opening on bottom plate. Push bodypack into plate,
and slide do wn as shown.
4)
Carefully insert TA4F connector into bodypack (see figure 4).
5)
Turn on bodypack transmitter & check for mic level.
6)
Test mic in actual use situation, and set audio gain on bodypack transmitter for optimal gain through wireless system. Note:
battery door may be opened to access gain adjustment in bodypack, without removing bodypack from base (see figure 4).
7)
If desired, install antenna guide using screw provided (see figure 5). First drive in screw completely, then back it out slightly, hook
on antenna guide and screw it down. Orient antenna within guide to achieve vertical antenna polarization (see figure 6).
When set for
"Momentary" lower switch
selects push-to-talk (PTT)
or push-to-mute (PTM)
Power Up Mode Only
applies when switch
above is set to "Toggle"
