Operation is subject to the following two con-

ditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-

ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Per FCC Requirements, this transmitter is equipped with a special antenna connector to prevent the user from using antennas that have not been tested to comply with FCC regulations. Only use antennas and antenna accessories supplied by Phonic Ear. The term IC: before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry of Canada technical specifications were met. 3839 OnWave User Guide 12/28/04 11:59 AM Page 6 table of contents Transmitter: PE 560T . 1-2 Wide-band Receiver: PE 500R. 3 Narrow-band Receiver: PE 506R . 4 Ground Plane . 5 Large Area Antenna. 6 OnWave System Setup and Operation Understanding hearing assistance . 7 Direct-mount a standard antenna . 7 Remote-mount a standard antenna . 8 Remote-mount a large-area antenna . 8 Mount the transmitter in rack or place on top of rack . 9 Connect line input . 9 Connect microphone input . 10 Activate phantom power . 10 Adjust output levels (with adjustable volume) . 11 Adjust output levels (without adjustable volume) . 11 Music or speech? . 12 Set bass cut . 12 Set transmitter band & channel . 13 Tune PE 500R receiver . 13 Set PE 506R channel . 14 Walk and listen to confirm quality . 14 Lock/unlock your settings . 15 Save settings . 15 Receiver batteries . 16 How to use the body-worn receiver . 17 Warranty. 18 Troubleshooting . 19 3839 OnWave User Guide 12/28/04 11:59 AM Page 7 transmitter: PE 560T 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 digital display level +

warning The antenna is an electrical conductor. Contact with power lines can result in death or serious injury. Do not install the antenna, sup-

porting mast, or tower where there is any possibility of con-

tact with a high-voltage arc from power cables or service drops. Outdoor antennas should be grounded against lightning strikes.

Check if the transmitter is on (the front panel display window should be lighted). Verify the wall transformer is plugged into the transmitter and into a working wall outlet. flashing light on receiver Replace or recharge batteries sound too low/poor quality sound Check the transmitter line level indicators located in the display window. 2-3 bars should peak with the audio signal. If no bars or only one bar appears, increase the volume on the sound system and, if necessary, on the transmitter level control. Connect the sound system to the 1/4in input on the transmitter for maximum output levels. Change to higher level output connection on the sound system. RF fault indicator is lighted Confirm that the antenna is connected properly to the transmitter. Relocate the antenna away from any metal structures, power cords, or electronic equipment (see user instructions section 2b ). intermittent audio Replace the receiver listening accessory. Check the RF fault indicator on the transmitter front panel and follow above instructions if lighted. The receiver may be out of range; for areas greater than 100m/300ft use a large area antenna. overload indicator is lighted Confirm that the mic/line setting on the transmitter front panel is correct. Reduce the output level on the sound system. Connect the sound system to the XLR or speaker level inputs located on the back of the trans-

mitter to reduce level. Change to lower output connection on the sound system. low frequency hum Adjust the transmitter front panel bass cut settings to 160Hz or 320Hz Relocate the antenna away from electronic equipment, (see user instructions section 2b ). batteries wont recharge Verify that the wall transformer is plugged into the charger. Try different charge cords. Verify the receiver indicator light is brighter when the unit is plugged into charger. Check the receiver is turned off before charging.

!

warning The antenna is an electrical conduc-

tor. Contact with power lines can result in death or serious injury. Do not install the antenna, supporting mast, or tower where there is any possibility of contact with a high-

voltage arc from power cables or service drops. Outdoor antennas should be grounded against light-

ning strikes. Consult the National Electrical Code for further details. The large area antenna is only available with a specially tuned version of the 560T (model # PE560T-LA). This is done to insure the system meets FCC and Industry Canada Requirements. This antenna should only be installed by a qualified sound contractor or fac-

tory trained professional. 20 19 21 20 6 3839 OnWave User Guide 1/18/05 12:48 PM Page 11 OnWave system setup and operation 1 understanding hearing assistance without the OnWave system distance noise echo

Before charging any Phonic Ear equipment make sure only NiCad or NiMH rechargeable batteries are installed. As an added precaution, remove batteries if the equipment will not be used for several weeks. 18 3839 OnWave User Guide 1/18/05 12:48 PM Page 23 troubleshooting no sound If using the 500R, verify the receiver is tuned correctly (see user instructions section 8b ) If using the 506R, verify the channel selected on the receiver matches the channel selected on the transmitter (see user instructions section 8c ) If using 500R, check if the receiver power indicator light is on; if unlit, or flashing, replace or recharge receiver batteries. Check if the transmitter is on (the front panel display window should be lighted). Verify the wall transformer is plugged into the transmitter and into a working wall outlet. flashing light on receiver Replace or recharge batteries sound too low/poor quality sound Check the transmitter line level indicators located in the display window. 2-3 bars should peak with the audio signal. If no bars or only one bar appears, increase the volume on the sound system and, if necessary, on the transmitter level control. Connect the sound system to the 1/4in input on the transmitter for maximum output levels. Change to higher level output connection on the sound system. RF fault indicator is lighted Confirm that the antenna is connected properly to the transmitter. Relocate the antenna away from any metal structures, power cords, or electronic equipment (see user instructions section 2b ). intermittent audio Replace the receiver listening accessory. Check the RF fault indicator on the transmitter front panel and follow above instructions if lighted. The receiver may be out of range; for areas greater than 100m/300ft use a large area antenna. overload indicator is lighted Confirm that the mic/line setting on the transmitter front panel is correct. Reduce the output level on the sound system. Connect the sound system to the XLR or speaker level inputs located on the back of the trans-

mitter to reduce level. Change to lower output connection on the sound system. low frequency hum Adjust the transmitter front panel bass cut settings to 160Hz or 320Hz Relocate the antenna away from electronic equipment, (see user instructions section 2b ). batteries wont recharge Verify that the wall transformer is plugged into the charger. Try different charge cords. Verify the receiver indicator light is brighter when the unit is plugged into charger. Check the receiver is turned off before charging. Check the receiver batteries are Nicad rechargeable. 19 3839 OnWave User Guide 1/18/05 12:47 PM Page 1 us: 800.227.0735, then press 5 canada: 800.263.8700 outside u.s./canada: Call your local Phonic Ear dealer website: www.phonicear.com 2003 Phonic Ear Inc.
