Frequency bank U Channel 12 – freely selectable frequency Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has been factory- preset to a fixed receiving frequency (frequency preset). The factory- preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free.
SK 100 SKM 100 SKP 100 These transmitters are available in the same UHF frequency ranges and are equipped with the same frequency bank system with factory-preset frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset frequencies is that • a transmission system is ready for immediate use after switch-on, •...

Product overview Overview of the displays After switch-on, the diversity receiver displays the “Frequency/Name” standard display. For further illustrations and examples of the different standard displays, refer to page 10. The display backlighting is automatically reduced after approx. 20 seconds.
Putting the diversity receiver into operation Inserting the batteries/accupack For powering the diversity receiver, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack or the DC 2 power adapter (see “Accessories” on page 23).

Reinsert the belt clip Use one of the supplied line cables to connect the line input of the camera to the socket The ground connection of the line cable serves as the antenna for the second diversity section.
The transmission link is established and the receiver’s RF level display “RF” reacts. It is vital to observe the notes on frequency selection on page 19. If you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and receiver, read the chapter “Synchronizing a transmitter with the diversity receiver”...
You can activate or deactivate the automatic lock mode via the “Auto Lock” menu item (see page 16). If the lock mode is activated, you have to temporarily deactivate it in order to be able to operate the receiver: Press the button.
Using the operating menu Using the operating menu A special feature of the Sennheiser ew G3 series is the consistent, intuitive menu structure of transmitters and receivers. As a result, adjustments to the settings can be made quickly – even in stressful situations, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation.

If the squelch threshold is set to “High”, the transmission range will be reduced under unfavourable reception conditions. The squelch should only be switched off for servicing purposes. With the squelch threshold set to “Low”, you switch the squelch off by keeping the DOWN rocker button pressed for 3 seconds.
Via the “Name” menu, you can enter a freely selectable name (e.g. the name of the performer) for the receiver. The name is displayed on the standard display (see page 6). The name can consist of up to 8 characters such as: •...

Adjusting settings via the operating menu Via the “Tune” menu item, you can set a receiving frequency to be stored in the current channel you can select a different channel in the frequency bank “U” and assign this channel a receiving frequency.
Page 19
“Pilot Tone” setting “Stored” The transmitter adds an inaudible signal, known as the pilot tone, to the transmitted signal. The diversity receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone. The pilot tone supports the diversity receiver’s squelch function, thus protecting against interference due to RF signals from other devices.
Select a frequency bank and a channel on this diversity receiver (“Current List”, see page 15). If you want to set up a multi-channel system, select a frequency bank with a sufficient number of unused channels for all planned transmis- sion links.

Synchronizing a transmitter with the diversity receiver On one of the receivers, select a channel within this frequency bank and assign this channel one of the calculated receiving frequencies (see page 17). Synchronize a transmitter with this receiver (see page 14).
... for optimum reception • Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas. • To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas.
