Setting Up; Mounting The Microphone Element; Inserting Batteries; Operating Modes - AKG HT 4500 User Instructions

• Prior to setting up your WMS 4500, check that the transmitter and receiver are
tuned to the same frequency, referring to section 3.6 and the receiver manual.
• We recommend setting all channels to the same Preset and the same Group.
In the following sections, flashing characters are identified by angle symbols ">" and "<".
All values shown are examples of available settings.
• Screw the microphone element CW onto the thread on the transmitter. All electrical con-
nections will be made automatically.
1. Unscrew the battery compartment cover (1) CCW from the transmitter.
2. Push the locking button (2) toward the microphone element to unlock the securing clamp
(3).
• Make sure to hold down the securing clamp (3) as you unlock it. The securing
clamp is spring-loaded and may cause injury if it is allowed to jump out of the bat-
tery compartment.
3. Insert the two supplied batteries into the battery compartment, aligning the batteries
with the polarity symbols inside the battery compartment.
If you insert the batteries the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
4. Press the securing clamp (3) down on the battery compartment to the point that the
locking button (2) will engage and screw the battery compartment cover (1) back onto
the transmitter CW.
• Alternatively to the supplied dry batteries, you may use the optional BP 4000 battery
pack from AKG. The BP 4000 fits into the battery compartment in the correct orienta-
tion only, so you cannot insert it the wrong way.
• Never use standard rechargeable batteries! These may damage the transmitter
if the charging contacts are shorted and will provide no remaining battery life in-
dication. AKG will accept no liability for any damage resulting from the use of
standard rechargeable batteries.
1. LOCK mode: The transmitter transmits the microphone output signal to the receiver. All
adjustment functions are electronically locked to prevent parameters from being read-
justed unintentionally during a performance or lecture.
2. ACTIVE mode: The transmitter transmits the microphone output signal to the receiver.
All controls are active. You can check all transmitter parameters and set the carrier fre-
quency (refer to section 3.6) and input gain (refer to section 3.8).
3. SILENT mode: Power to the transmitter is ON, but no RF signal is transmitted. The
