Transmitter operation
Transmitter LCD Display Cycle
Pressing the Parameter Select button cycles the LCD through each of the editable functions on the
transmitter. Individual screens appear for approximately 4 seconds, during which the function is editable.
The LCD for the SW65 & 75-T is shown. The LCD for the SW-H Series displays the same information
in a different layout. See the previous page for a comparative look at both LCDs.

PAD Settings
Your new Sabine wireless handheld micro-
phone is designed to accept a wide range of
input levels, from spoken word all the way up
to screaming vocals. In order to accommodate
this broad range of inputs, the transmitter has
a PAD setting. Handheld mics are set to a
factory default of -14 dB, which is the preferred
setting for concert vocal performance.
If you need more output out of a microphone
(the receiver LCD audio meter shows the mic
output level) then change the PAD settings as
described below. When any level of attenua-
tion is programmed, the default screen will
illuminate PAD.
Transmitter PAD Adjustment
(See Fig. 4b, 4f & 4g)
1. Use the Transmitter Select button to scroll
through functions until PAD flashes in the
Transmitter LCD.
2. Use the Up or Down buttons to select the
desired setting. Selection is stored after 3
seconds of inactivity.
3. Check to see if the receiver's Audio Level
Meter stays out of the Clipping Zone.

4.2.3. Adjusting Transmitter Settings

DEFAULT/CHANNEL: Press the Select button to enter Edit Mode, and repeat
until the CHANNEL indicator flashes. In this mode, the Up/Down buttons will
adjust Transmission Channel.
INPUT: (SW65 & 75-T Beltpack Transmitter only) Either "MIC" or "INSTR" for
microphone or instrument. You are required to choose the input in order to
program both the transmitter and the receiver to optimize the input settings.
Choosing MIC automatically selects the 75 Hz roll-off filter. You can choose to
remove that but the extended low frequency response of the SW65 & 75-T may
reproduce too much low energy for your system, so beware. Choosing INSTR
automatically removes the 75 Hz roll off filter for that added bottom end in your
instruments. NOTE: You can manually change that filter setting as needed.
Electric Guitar/Bass & FBX: For best results, when using the SW65 &
75-T Beltpack Transmitter for electric guitar or bass, put your receiver's
FBX Feedback Exterminator into ByPASS mode. FBX ByPASS is acces-
sible via the receiver front panel or Remote Software control.
Guitar Cord Simulator
This feature allows you to fine tune the sound of your instrument while
it is patched into your Sabine wireless beltpack. For instructions please
refer to page 22.
PAD: Transmitter PAD setting. Press the Select button until the PAD indicator
flashes. The Up/Down buttons will adjust attenuation (SW-H Series) 0, -6, -14,
-20 dB; SW65 & 75-T: 0, -3, -6, -10, -14, -17, -20, -23, -26, -30, -34, -37, -40 dB).
When any level of attenuation is programmed, the default screen will illuminate
PAD. See margin notes on this page and p.15 for settings instructions.
TIME: Battery Run-Time Hours. Selecting this option changes the display to
PAD
indicate the length of power-on time (hours and minutes) since the last battery
change or recharge.
0 dB
NOTE: Battery run-time hours will reset when the transmitter (with battery in
place) is connected to a charger. In the case of the charger, run-time hours
-6 dB
will not start again until the charger is disconnected. You can manually reset
the run-time hours by pressing both the up and down arrows. Use this to count
-14 dB
hours when you use alkaline batteries.
LOW FREQUENCy ROLL-OFF: Selecting this option adds a 12 dB/octave low
-20 dB
frequency roll-off filter, starting at 75 Hz, to the audio output of the transmitter.
A roll-off filter may help reduce microphone handling noise, or other unwanted
low frequency content. Pressing the Up or Down button toggles between the
conditions of no filter (indicated in the display as L 0) or low roll-off (indicated
by L 75).
INTERNAL CONTROL OF EXTERNAL SWITCH: The recessed controls
include a 3-position switch, which in turn determines how the transmitter's
external two-position switch behaves (see figures 4a, 4b & 4h). From left-to-
right, the 3 positions of the internal switch correspond to the following external
switch operations:
