Only use a bodypack transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency range (see the type plate on the transmitter and the receiver). Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency information sheet. Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your country and, if necessary, apply for an operating license. Synchronizing the bodypack transmitter with the receiver individual operation Upon delivery, the bodypack transmitter and the receiver are synchro-
nized with each other. However, if you cannot establish a transmission link between bodypack transmitter and receiver, you have to synchronize the channels of the devices. For information on automatic synchronization of the bodypack trans-
mitter with the receiver (individual operation), refer to the instruction manual of the receiver. This information is marked with the icon. Alternatively, you can set the channel on the bodypack transmitter manually:
Make sure that you set the bodypack transmitter to the same frequency bank and the same channel as the receiver (see pagec18). If you still cannot establish a transmission link, refer to the chapter If a problem occurs ... on page 23. Synchronizing bodypack transmitters with receivers multi-channel operation Combined with ew 100 G3 receivers, ew 100 G3 bodypack transmitters can form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel systems. In order to ensure an intermodulation-free transmission, use the same frequency bank for all transmission links. For information on automatic synchronization of bodypack transmitters with receivers (multi-channel operation), refer to the instruction manual of your receiver. Cleaning the bodypack transmitter CAUTION!
Liquids can damage the electronics of the bodypack transmitter!
