INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE TELEX SOUND
ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM?
WHAT FREQUENCY BAND DOES THE
TELEX SYSTEM OPERATE IN?
Transmitter: The transmitter generates and amplifies a RF (Radio Frequency) carrier signal, modulates this carrier with the microphone signal, and
radiates the modulated RF carrier.
The Telex Systems feature a synthesized transmitter
and single channel or synthesized receivers operating in the VHF Band between 72-76 MHz. See Table 1 for standard frequencies available.
Receiver: The FM VHF receiver is tuned to the frequency of the transmitter. The receiver picks up the
radiated RF signal from the transmitter through the
antenna and converts the RF signal into audio voltages for use with an earphone, headphone, button
receiver, neckloop, etc. The receiver frequency must
be matched to the transmitter frequency.
Each transmitter channel can be utilized by any
number of receivers in any given area. Up to eight
simultaneous systems can be used, and with proper
placement of adjacent channels, up to ten systems
can be used.

OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS
Q
uestion: Can more than one system be used simultaneously?
When ever the sys tem is in use, the trans mit ter
should be left on to prevent the receiver from picking up outside interference.
A
nswer: Yes but never on the same frequency.
You will need to have different frequencies for ev-
ery receiver/transmitter combination. All transmitters are factory set for specific frequencies.

Q
Q
uestion: Is the system more sensitive in any one
particular direction?
A
nswer: No, the transmitter’s antenna radiates
equally in all directions, but the signal is attenuated
by your body, walls or other surrounding objects.
The receiving antenna is essentially sensitive in all
directions as well.
Q
uestion: Can the receiver receive other transmissions when the transmitter is turned off?
A
nswer: Yes it can. Telex systems operate in the
VHF Band between 72-76 MHz. However, it is not
susceptible to radio wave skip, CB’ers or standard
FM radio transmissions.
The frequency your system operates on is computer
selected for least interference, but there is no such
thing as a 100% clear channel all the time, anywhere in the U.S.A., forever!

If the system is going to be used in a permanent
fixed location, it should operate interference free until such a time or date when someone else begins
using the same frequency.
If the system is going to be moving among various
locations, you may run into occasional frequency
conflicts.

MULTIPLE SYS TEM IN STALLATIONS: As
with any radio device, interference can occur at any
time. The frequencies offered are shared with other
legitimate users. The severity of interference varies
with the distance to the interfering station. Multiple
systems further complicate installations. The following steps are suggested in order to achieve best results in your installation.
2. Set your transmitter(s) to channels with no or
minimum interference. Each transmitter must be
set to a separate frequency. For best results when
us ing mul ti ple trans mit ters, each trans mit ter
should be installed separately as far as possible
from the others.
3. Turn on the transmitter(s) with an active audio
input. Test walk a receiver through the expected
listening area to verify coverage. The system
should now be ready for use.
1. In order to determine whether your selected frequencies have minimum interference, Telex recommends that you first temporarily install the
receivers in your proposed setting and monitor
the channel for interference. To do this (with
fresh batteries installed) turn on your receiver,
but DO NOT turn on any other receiver or transmitter at this time. If audible interference is present, this may in di cat e an other user on the
channel. Monitoring should be repeated for each
channel that you propose to use. DO NOT use
channels that have interference.

Figure 11
Distance Between Transmitter and Receiver
-14-
-----Keep the distance between the transmitter and
the receiver(s) as short as possible. The greater the
distance the weaker the signal.
DO NOT - Mount the transmitter on, or next to,
metal such as beams, walls with metal studs, etc.
This will “detune” the transmitter antenna which
can result in loss of signal at the receiver.
Make sure the “signal path” between the transmitter
and receiver(s) is unobstructed. You should always
be able to visually locate the antenna of the transmitter at all times.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Reread the sections of this manual to make sure you
have completed system set-up properly.
If you are unable to solve the problem, contact the
dealer from whom you purchased the system for assistance.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
DISTORTION -System's audio quality seems
distorted at medium to high input levels
Reduce audio gain on transmitter by adjusting
the gain controls.
HISS - System seems to produce a "hiss" which
is undesirable.
Check the gain settings on the transmitter and
the volume control on the receiver. They may
be too low.
DROPOUTS - When moving around the area
in which you will be using the system there
seem to be locations where the signal
"swooshes" or completely disappears.
Make sure the antenna is connected and fully
extended. Follow the location suggestions on
page 15. Change the location of the transmitter
antenna or avoid the bad area with the receivers.
INTERFERENCE - System picks up signals
other than the ST-300 Transmitter.
Make sure the Telex ST-300 is turned on - this
will usually eliminate the interference signal.
If problem persist with the transmitter "ON", try
changing to another channel.
REDUCED DISTANCE - System doesn't operate as far as it once did. System doesn't' operate
as well as you think it should.
Receiver Battery is possibly in need of replacement. Transmitter antenna possible located incorrectly. Receiver not tuned properly.
BATTERIES DON'T LAST
If using "throw away" batteries make sure they
are alkaline. If using nickel-cadmium or nickel
metal hydride batteries make sure they were
fully charged when yo are using them and fully
drained when you are done before recharging
them.
HUM - Audio System emits hum or buzz thru
speakers and sound enhancement receiver.
Locate Transmitter away from the audio equipment.

Frequently Answers and Questions

Can more than one system be used simultaneously?
Yes, but never on the same frequency. You will need to have different frequencies for every receiver/transmitter combination.
Is the system more sensitive in any one particular direction?
No, the transmitter's antenna radiates equally in all directions, but the signal is attenuated by your body, walls or other surrounding objects. The receiving antenna is essentially sensitive in all directions as well.
Can the receiver receive other transmissions when the transmitter is turned off?
Yes, it can. Telex systems operate in the VHF Band between 72-76 MHz. However, it is not susceptible to radio wave skip, CB’ers or standard FM radio transmissions. The frequency your system operates on is computer selected for least interference, but there is no such thing as a 100% clear channel all the time, anywhere in the U.S.A., forever!
What is the function of the Enhanced Dynamic Range (EDR) mode?
The EDR mode greatly improves the Audio Signal to Noise Ra tio when used with the Telex Model SR-400 receiver. The E.D.R. mode must be selected on both the transmitter and receiver to be effective.
How do I engage and disable the Lock Out Feature?
To engage the Lock Out Feature, press the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time and hold them down for 10 seconds. To unlock the system, press the Up and DOWN buttons and hold them for 10 seconds or until the padlock symbol disappears.
What does the battery symbol mean in the LCD display?
When there is approximately 10% of the battery life left, a battery symbol will flash alternately with the channel letter in the LCD display. When there is only 5% battery life left, the battery symbol will constantly flash in the display.
