Frequency Agile UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter NO PRE-EMPHASIS/DE-EMPHASIS The signal to noise ratio of the 200 system is high enough to preclude the need for conventional pre-emphasis (HF boost) in the transmitter and de-emphasis (HF roll off) in the receiver. Pre-emphasis and de-emphasis in an FM radio system usually provides about a 10dB improvement in the signal to noise ratio of the system, but the high frequency boost in the transmitter must be removed in a purely complementary manner or else the frequency response of the original audio signal will be altered.
100K is the fine adjustment. Each transmitter is factory aligned at the center of its operating range. The default position of the frequency select switches is in the center of the transmitter’s range. LECTROSONICS, INC.

USE ONLY THE SCREW THAT IS SUPPLIED The circuitry is tightly packed into this unit. A longer screw will permanently damage the transmitter! Use only Lectrosonics PN:28528 which is a Phillips head, 4-40 x 3/16", FL100 screw. Rio Rancho, NM – USA...
3) Attach the antenna to the SMA connector on the top of the transmitter. 4) Mute the sound system. 5) Turn the transmitter power switch to the “ON” position. 6) Position the microphone in the location you will use in actual operation. LECTROSONICS, INC.

The shield wire is the antenna on VHF models and poor operating range will result. Rubber Insulation Crimp Crimp Rubber Tabs Tabs Insulation Shield Wire Note: This termination is required on VHF transmitters and will still work fine on UHF transmitters. LECTROSONICS, INC.
Low impedance microphone level input for dynamic microphones. Also accepts hand-held electret micro- phones provided the microphone has its own built-in battery. PIN 4 1K Ohm source load for non-Lectrosonics electret microphones. Use in conjunction with other pins to provide attenuation of high level input signals. PIN 5 High impedance, line level input for tape decks, mixer outputs, musical instruments, etc.
Leaded capacitors: P/N 15117 Leadless capacitors: P/N SCC330P All Lectrosonics lavalier mics are already bypassed and do not need any additional capacitors installed for proper operation. BODY GROUND Caution - When wiring the connector, do not use the connector body for any electrical connections. A common mistake is to use the connector body as an audio ground.
Frequency Agile UHF Belt-Pack Transmitter TROUBLESHOOTING Before going through the following chart, be sure that you have a good battery in the transmitter. It is important that you follow these steps in the sequence listed. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE TRANSMITTER BATTERY LED OFF 1) Battery is inserted backwards.
