Ht 60 Handheld Transmitter; Microphone Element; Inserting, Testing, And Removing Batteries; Pt 60 Bodypack Transmitter - AKG WMS 60 User Instructions

9.2. HT 60 Handheld Transmitter

9.2.1. Microphone Element

Prior to switching the transmitter on, screw the microphone element
CW onto the thread on the transmitter. All electrical connections
will be made automatically.

9.2.2. Inserting, Testing, and Removing Batteries

1. Make sure that the end of the ribbon fixed inside the battery
compartment (2f) will stick out of the battery compartment (2f).
(The ribbon is needed for removing the batteries.)
2. Insert the supplied batteries into the battery compartment (2f)
conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function with incorrectly inserted batte-
ries.
3. Set the PWR switch to "I" to switch the power to the transmitter
on.
The status LED (2b) will flash momentarily. If the batteries are in
good condition, the status LED (2b) will continue glowing dimly.
When the status LED (2b) illuminates brightly the batteries will
be dead within about 90 minutes. Replace the batteries with
new ones as soon as possible.
If the status LED (2b) fails to illuminate the batteries are dead.
Insert new batteries.
4. Screw the supplied protective ring (2j) and the battery com-
partment cover back onto the transmitter CW. You can rotate
the protective ring (2j) so that any one of the controls will be
accessible and all others covered (B to E) and thus protected
from being misadjusted unintentionally.
Note: For easy channel identification in a multichannel setup, you
can install a different-color protective ring included in the
optional Color Coding Kit. These protective rings are adjust-
able, too.
Note: If you prefer to cover all controls, reinstall the original color
code ring (2d) after adjusting the system as described
in section 9.5.
5. Removing batteries: Pull the ribbon outward to release the
batteries from the battery compartment (2f) and remove the bat-
teries.

9.3. PT 60 Bodypack Transmitter

1. Insert the supplied batteries into the battery compartment (3h)
conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function with incorrectly inserted bat-
teries.
2. Close the battery compartment (3h). The GAIN control (3j)
remains accessible through an opening in the battery compart-
ment cover.
3. Connect your microphone -- or your instrument using an option-
al MKG/L guitar cable -- to the audio input (3d).
4. Rotate the security cover (3m) CW to uncover the switches.
5. Set the POWER switch (3a) to "I" to switch the power to the
transmitter on.
The status LED (3c) will flash momentarily. If the batteries are in
good condition, the status LED (3c) will continue glowing dimly.
When the status LED (3c) illuminates brightly the batteries will
be dead within about 90 minutes. Replace the batteries with
new ones as soon as possible.
If the status LED (3c) fails to illuminate the batteries are dead.
Insert new batteries.
6. Snap the security cover (3m) back over the switches CCW.
You can wear the transmitter inside a shirt or jacket pocket, fix
it to your belt with the belt clip (3g), or attach it to your body
with adhesive bandage.
Important: Make sure the antenna will hang down freely, with-
out being covered by the body.
Note: For easy channel identification in a multichannel setup, you
can replace the snap fitted color code platelet (3e) with a dif-
ferent-color platelet included in the optional Color Coding Kit.

9.4. SR 60 Receiver

9.4.1. Placement

Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow
effects of musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the
direct transmitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make
sure, though, that the transmitter will never get any closer to the
receiver than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. There should always be a direct line of sight between the trans-
mitter and receiver.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big
metal objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
You can either use the receiver free-standing or mount it in a 19"
rack using the supplied RMU 60 rack mounting kit.

9.4.2. Rack Mounting

1. Slide a rack ear into the fixing rail on one side of the receiver
and the BP 60 blank panel into the fixing rail on the other side
from rear to front.
2. To mount two receivers, insert in place of the blank panel the
linking section and the second receiver. Slide another rack ear
into the fixing rail on the other side of the second receiver.
3. Use the supplied installation screws to fix the rack ears to the
rack. For best reception, we recommend to mount the receiv-
er(s) at the top level of the rack.

9.4.3. Audio Connection

Connect one of the AUDIO OUT sockets to the desired input:
- BALANCED socket (1o) - XLR cable - microphone input: set
BALANCED LINE/MIC switch (1p) to MIC.
- BALANCED socket (1o) - XLR cable - line input: set BALANCED
LINE/MIC switch (1p) to LINE.
- UNBALANCED jack (1n) - 1/4" jack cable - unbalanced 1/4"
microphone or line input jack. (BALANCED LINE/MIC switch
(1p) position is uncritical.)
Important: Never use the two AUDIO OUT sockets simulta-
neously! This may cause signal loss or increased noise.

9.4.4. Connecting to Power

1. Unfold the two antennas (1e) and extend them fully to obtain
optimum reception.
2. Set the SQUELCH control (1c) fully CCW.
3. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the sup-
plied AC adapter is identical to the AC mains volt-
age available where you will use your WMS 60.
Using the AC adapter with a different AC voltage may cause
irreparable damage to the unit.
4. Plug the feeder cable on the supplied AC adapter into the
POWER socket (1m) on the receiver.
5. Bend part of the feeder cable into a bight, pass the bight
through the opening in the lower part of the screwdriver sup-
port, and place the end of the bight snugly against the strain
relief hook above the POWER socket (1m).
