Battery Status

! Indicates the power remaining in the transmitter

battery. When the battery has less than 10%
power remaining it must be replaced or
recharged. If an under voltage condition
continues, the LCD will show “OFF...” and the
system will shut down to prevent being overly
discharged.

Power Button

! Press and hold for 2 seconds to power on & off.

“OFF...” - Power Off

! When the power switch is turned off, the LCD will

show “OFF...” (for Power Off) first and then the
system will shut down and no further messages
will be displayed.

ERR Message

! When “ERR” appears in the display it indicates

that an operational error has occurred. Please
refer to the following codes to diagnose which
error you are experiencing.

ERR no01 EEPROM is not being programmed or internal

data error.

ERR no02 For testing only.

ERR no03 The frequency you want to program is above

the switching bandwidth of the transmitter.
Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency
group. (At this time the microphone is still
operating and the frequency remains
unchanged. To clear the displayed "ERR"
message, switch the handheld transmitter off
and on again.)

ERR no04 The frequency you want to program is below

the switching bandwidth of the transmitter.
Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency
group. (At this time the microphone is still
operating and the frequency remains
unchanged. To clear the displayed “ERR”
message, switch the handheld transmitter off
and on again.)

! “Group” & “Channel” : When both the group

and channel numbers are displayed, it means that
you are using the pre-programmed frequency of
the receiver.

! “Channel” Only : If “Channel” only is displayed,

it means that you are using a frequency which is
not pre-programmed.

Disassemble the Belt Clip

! Turn the bodypack transmitter

to the back side like the right
diagram.

! Pull open one side of the belt

clip and make it depart from
the slot of the bodypack
transmitter like the right
diagram.

! Then the other side of the belt

clip can be departed from the
other slot easily. The whole
belt clip is departed from the
bodypack transmitter
completely like the right
diagram.

Assemble the Belt Clip

! Turn the bodypack transmitter

to the back side. Put the belt
clip to the right direction and
aim the one side of the belt
clip to the slot of
the bodypack
transmitter like
the right diagram.

! For opposite wear of bodypack

transmitter, just rotate the belt
clip by 180℃ like the right
diagram.

! Put one side of the belt clip to

the slot of bodypack
transmitter and fix it like the
right diagram.

! Pull open the other side of the
