    RETURNING UNITS FOR REPAIR ..............12 WARRANTY ..................Back cover The MM400 transmitter is FCC type accepted under Part 74: 536-608 MHz and 614-806 MHz WARNING! TO PREVENT INTERNAL CORROSION! If the transmitter is wet (either due to immersion or high levels of perspiration), BEFORE opening any covers or connectors, carefully blot the transmitter dry with a clean paper towel or cloth.
  • Page 3: Introduction

    If you have a miniature transmitter marked as a MM200 transmitter, this is a factory programmed variant of the MM400 that uses the Digital Signal Processor in the MM400 to model the dual band compander used in the 200 series with the appropriate compander time constants and frequency division. Since the signals are converted from analog to digital, processed and then converted back to analog, there is a delay as with all digital audio systems.
  • Page 4: Digital Hybrid Technology

    The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid system overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link.
  • Page 5: Pilot Tone Squelch

    RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. The MM400 extends this concept even farther by insuring that all transmitters in a system have different pilot tone frequencies so that even spurious RF from the wrong transmitters can’t open the receiver squelch.
  • Page 6: Controls And Functions

    A NiMh battery will give little or no warning when it is depleted. If you wish to use NiMh batteries in the MM400, we recommend trying fully charged batteries in the unit, noting the length of time that the batteries will run the unit and in the future use somewhat less than that time to determine when the battery needs to be replaced.

    Frequency Agile UHF Miniature Belt-Pack Transmitter MODULATION LEDS Indicate the proper setting of the MIC LEVEL control. There are two bicolor modulation LEDs that can light either red or green. “-20dB level” One modulation LED glows green and the transmitter is 20 dB below full modulation. “-10 dB level”...
  • Page 8: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION The transmitter is powered by a standard lithium, NiMh or alkaline AA 1.5 Volt battery. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy-duty” or “long-lasting” will not work. NiMh rechargeable batteries will only provide 2 hours of operation but will run down quite abruptly. Alkaline batteries provide over 2 hours of operation with some warning. Lithium batteries can be used to provide up to 4.5 hours.
