Frequency Preset menu item • Manually selecting a frequency bank and channel ► While you work in the Frequency Preset menu, the RF signal is deactivated. Please note when creating multi-channel systems: Only the factory-preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free. The bodypack transmitter and receiver must be set to the same frequency. Be sure to note the information on frequency selection under “Establishing a radio link”. 114 Using the SKP 100 G4 Name menu item • Entering names ► In the Name menu item you can enter any name you want for the bodypack transmitters (e.g. the names of the musicians). The name can be shown in the Frequency/Name and Name/Channel standard displays. The names are a maximum of 8 characters: • All letters except umlauts. • Numbers from 0 to 9 • Special characters and spaces Enter the names as follows: ▷ Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select a character. ▷ Press the SET button to switch to the next space or to save the name you have entered once it is complete. Auto Lock menu item • Switching the automatic lock-off function on and off ► This lock prevents the wireless microphone from being unintentionally switched off and also prevents any unintentional changes to the transmitter’s configuration. In the current standard display, the lock icon shows whether the lock-off function is currently switched on. You can find information about using the lock-off function under “Lock-off function”. 115 Using the SKP 100 G4 Advanced menu item In the Advanced submenu you can configure enhanced settings. The following sub-items are available: Adjusting the transmission frequencies for the U frequency bank ▷ See “Advanced > Tune menu item” Configuring the MUTE switch ▷ See “Advanced > Mute Mode menu item” Activating/deactivating the pilot tone evaluation ▷ See “Advanced > Pilot Tone menu item” Adjusting the contrast of the display panel ▷ See “Advanced > LCD Contrast menu item” Resetting the transmitter ▷ See “Advanced > Reset menu item” Displaying the current software revision ▷ See “Advanced > Software Revision menu item” 116 Using the SKP 100 G4 Advanced > Tune menu item • Configuring the transmission frequency and frequency bank U When you have configured the bodypack transmitter to a system bank and you call up the Tune menu item, channel 1 of the frequency bank U is automatically set. The message U.1 briefly appears in the display. In the factory settings, the channels of the frequency bank U are not assigned to any transmission frequency. While you work in the Tune menu, the RF signal is deactivated. You can configure a transmission frequency for the current channel or select a channel in the frequency bank U and configure a transmission frequency for this channel in the Tune menu. Be sure to note the information on frequency selection, see “Setting notes”. Only adjusting the frequency To configure the transmission frequency for the current channel: ▷ Open the Tune menu item in the Advanced menu. The frequency selection appears. ► ▷ ▷ Configure the desired frequency. Press the SET button. Your settings will be saved. You are now back in the operating menu. Setting the channel and frequency To select a channel and assign it a frequency: ▷ Open the Tune menu item in the Advanced menu by pressing and holding the SET button until the frequency bank selection appears. ► ▷ Set the desired channel. ▷ Press the SET button. The frequency selection appears. ▷ Configure the frequency. 117 Using the SKP 100 G4 Advanced > Mute Mode menu item • Configuring the MUTE switch ► AF On/Off mode • If set to position MUTE, the audio signal is muted. RF On/Off mode • If set to position MUTE, the RF signal is deactivated. Disabled mode • No function You can find information about operating the mute switch under “Muting the plug-on transmitter (AF mute)” and “Deactivating the RF signal (RF mute)”. Advanced > Pilot Tone menu item • Activating/deactivating pilot tone transmission ► The pilot tone has an inaudible frequency that is sent from the transmitter and evaluated by the receiver. It supports the receiver’s squelch function. Advanced > LCD Contrast menu item • Adjusting the contrast of the display panel You can configure the contrast of the display in 16 steps. 118 Using the SKP 100 G4 Advanced > Reset menu item • Resetting the plug-on transmitter ► When you reset the plug-on transmitter, only the selected settings of the pilot tone and the U frequency bank are retained. Advanced > Software Revision menu item • Show software revision You can display the current software revision. 119 Establishing a radio link Establishing a radio link To establish a radio link between the transmitter and receiver, the same frequency must be set in both devices. You can do this in a number of different ways: 1. Use the Easy Setup function to perform an automatic frequency setup (see “Easy Setup menu item”). 2. Set a frequency in the receiver manually (see “Frequency Preset menu item”) and synchronize it with the transmitter (see “Synchronizing devices”). 3. Set the frequency on the receiver and the transmitter manually (EK 100 G4: “Frequency Preset menu item”, SKM 100 G4: “Frequency Preset menu item”, SK 100 G4: “Frequency Preset menu item”, SKP 100 G4: “Frequency Preset menu item”) Setting notes Please note the following when synchronizing a transmitter with a receivers: ▷ Only use transmitters and receivers from the same frequency range (see the type plate on the transmitter and receiver). ▷ Make sure that your chosen frequencies are listed in the frequency table for the particular frequency range (see “Frequency tables”). ▷ Ensure that the desired frequencies are permitted in your country and apply for an operating license if necessary. Please note the information at the following address: General conditions and restrictions for the use of frequencies 120 Synchronizing devices Synchronizing devices You can synchronize ew 100 P G4 series transmitters and receivers via the receiver’s infrared interface. To synchronize the devices: ▷ ▷ Switch the transmitter and the receiver on. Call up the Sync menu item on the receiver. Sync appears in the receiver’s display. ▷ Hold the infra-red interface of the transmitter in front of the infra-red interface of the receiver. The parameters are transferred to the transmitter. When the transfer is complete, a tick appears in the receiver’s display as a confirmation. Then the receiver will return to the current standard display. ► To cancel synchronization: ▷ Press the ON/OFF button on the receiver. An X appears in the display. This icon also appears when: • no transmitter is found or the transmitter is not compatible. • no transmitter is found and the synchronization process automatically ends after 30 seconds. 121 Overview

CAUTION Liquids can damage the products’ electronics. Liquids entering the product housing can cause a short-circuit and damage the electronics. ▷ Keep all liquids away from the products. ▷ Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents. ▷ Disconnect the products from the power supply system and remove rechargeable batteries and batteries before you begin cleaning. ▷ Clean all products only with a soft, dry cloth. ▷ Note the special cleaning instructions below for the following products. Cleaning the sound inlet basket of the microphone module ▷ Unscrew the top sound inlet basket from the microphone module by turning it counterclockwise. ▷ Remove the foam insert. You can clean the sound inlet basket in two ways: ▷ Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the top sound inlet basket from the inside and outside. ▷ Use a brush and rinse with clean water. ▷ If necessary, clean the foam insert with a mild detergent or replace the foam insert. ▷ Dry the top sound inlet basket and foam insert. ▷ Reinsert the foam insert. 139 Cleaning and maintenance ▷ Screw the sound inlet basket back onto the microphone module. From time to time, you should also clean the microphone module contacts: ▷ Wipe the contacts of the microphone module with a soft, dry cloth. 140
