instructions.
Disclaimer
• beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG will not be liable for any
damage to the product or injury to persons caused by

Danger to life
• Clip-on microphones can be very small. There is a risk
of suffocation if accidentally swallowed. Therefore,
keep such microphones out of the reach of children.
• The supplied strap is only used for wearing the device
around the neck. If it is not used correctly, the risk of
strangulation may occur.
Volume
• When using headphones/headsets, make sure that
the volume is set to minimum. Adju the volume only
aer putting on the headphones/headset.
Too high volumes and too long liening times can da-
mage your hearing. Hearing damage always represents
an irreversible impairment of hearing.
• Always pay attention to the volume. As a rule of thumb,
the higher the volume, the shoer the liening time. By
law, the maximum allowed value is 85 dB at a maxi-
mum liening time of 8 hours.
• Temporary symptoms that you have been exposed to
loud noise are:
– ringing or whiling in the ears
– high tones can no longer be perceived
Troubleshooting / repairs
• Never open the device yourself.
• Refer all service work to authorised professionals only.
Cleaning
• Only clean the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Never use solvents, as these will damage the surface.

Rechargeable battery
• The bodypack transmitter is operated with the
following battery type: BAT-3707, lithium-ion, 3.7 V,
1.88 Ah, 6.96 Wh (order no. 727.679)
• Use only a USB 2.0/3.0 compliant 5V power supply to
charge the battery pack via the integrated USB
type-C port (power consumption < 1.0 A).
• High temperatures, paicularly in association with a
high charging atus, result in irreversible damage of
the battery pack.
• If you are not intending to use the battery for an
extended period or are planning to put it into orage,
it is advisable to lower the battery’s charging level to
around 50% and to ore it at temperatures of maxi-
mum 30 °C.
• In order to ensure safe transpo by land, sea and air,
the battery pack used for the bodypack transmitter is
teed according to the UN 38.3 transpo regulation
for lithium-ion batteries.
• Misuse or improper use could damage the battery
pack. In extreme cases, there is a risk of explosion,
heat, fire, smoke or gas.
• Never expose the battery pack to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not expose the battery pack to mechanical shock.
• Charge the battery pack before initial use.
• Use the specified chargers for charging the battery
pack.
• Avoid complete draining of the battery. This could
damage the battery and shorten its service life.
• If you do not use the transmitter for several months,
the batteries should be charged at least twice a year

to prevent deterioration in performance due to self-
discharge.
• Clean the charging contacts of the transmitter with a
clean dry cloth, if they become dirty.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• The charging contacts could cause property damage,
injuries or fire damage if they come into contact with
conductive materials such as jewellery, keys or chains.
This can lead to a closed electric circuit and, therefore,
to the material overheating. To avoid this kind of
unintentional electric circuit, the charging contacts
must be handled with care. This is especially important
if the transmitter is transported in a bag or another
container containing other metallic objects.
Moisture / heat sources
• Keep the battery pack clean and dry. Never expose
the device to rain or high humidity. Do not install it in
the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, shower
facilities, damp basements or other areas with
unusually high air humidity.
• Never place objects filled with water (e.g. vases or
drinking glasses) on the device. Liquids in the devices
may cause a short circuit.
• Never install or operate the device in the immediate
vicinity of radiators, lighting systems or other heat-
generating devices.

4. General operation
• Important: Before using the bodypack transmitter for
the first time, you must charge the built-in battery.
Please use an appropriate Unite charger.
• Connect a headphone or induction loop to jack
socket .
• Connect a microphone to the 4-pin mini XLR connector
or use a headset with the connector .
• Hold down the on/off button to switch on the transmitter.
• The integrated microphone will be activated if the
“internal” mode or the “auto” mode, without an exter-
nal microphone being connected, has been selected
as an audio source in the menu.
• In order to establish an audio connection between a
transmitter and one or more receivers, all devices
must be paired together. See chapter 5.
• All devices are supplied with the group ID 256 and
fixed audio encryption allowing quick and easy initial
use.
• The transmitter will only transmit the audio signal on a
channel with a predefined channel name. If there are
several transmitters in a group, the channel for the
respective transmitter can be selected on the receiver.
• If you require several device groups or an audio trans-
mission secure against eavesdropping, follow the
steps in chapter 5 to create a new pairing.

• If you require several device groups or an audio trans-
mission even more secure against eavesdropping, to
avoid listening by other groups using Unite devices,
follow the steps in chapter 5 to create a new pairing.
4.1 Bluetooth® interface
• The Bluetooth® function of the bodypack transmitter
is used as an audio interface for the following
applications.
1. For the use with a Bluetooth® headphones
(Use of the Talkback functionality)
With the Unite TP you can connect a headphone
via Bluetooth®. This allows listening to the talkback
signals of the Unite RP-T receiver and “Sub-Master”
devices.
2. For playback
You can also use the Bluetooth® function to
playback audio signals from external sources
(e.g. smartphones or computers).
Tip: If Bluetooth® is used for the playback of
external audio sources, we recommend using the
DSP effect “Ducker”. The “Ducker” decreases the
signal of an external audio source as soon as
someone is speaking into the microphone capsule
ensuring optimal speech intelligibility.
You will find a detailed description of the use of the
Bluetooth® function in the comprehensive “Unite” system
manual on the internet at www.beyerdynamic.com/unite.
