6. Programmable Channel Select (Listen Button)
The main advantage of the LR-5200 Receiver is the functionality of the programmable Listen Button. The
Listen Button can be programmed for Channel Select Mode, Seek Mode or be Disabled. These modes can
only be changed via the IDSP Software Suite.
Note: In order for the LR-5200 to receive audio it must be on the same channel as a transmitter in
the facility. 72 MHz receivers operate on 17 wide band channels and 40 narrow band channels. Channels
represented by letters on the display (i.e. A) are wideband channels: channels represented by numbers
are narrowband channels. Listen recommends the use of wide band channels for a much higher quality
listening experience.
216 MHz receivers operate on 19 wide band
channels and 38 narrow band channels. Channel
numbers starting with a “2” are wide band; channels
beginning with a “1” or “3” are narrow band channels.
It is important to choose channels that are free
from interference to achieve proper operation
of your Listen equipment. This process is trial
and error. Before turning on the transmitter,
listen for interference on the available channels.
Choose channels with the least amount of
interference. If you are using multiple channels
follow this process:
PAGE 10 l LR-5200 RECEIVER MANUAL
CH 1
1. Channel Select:
(Listen Button)
Page 11
Same Space: If you are using transmitters in the same space, the most number of channels that will work
simultaneously is six wide band channels or 8 narrow band channels at 72 MHz, three wide band channels
or 5 narrow band channels at 216 MHz. With all of the transmitters o, listen for interference on all the wide
band channels via the headphone jack. Using the frequency compatibility tables on pages 21-22, eliminate
any channels that have noticeable interference. Now choose the channels with the widest channel spacing.
It is recommended that adjacent channels be spaced at least 300 KHz. If there is no interference the following channels are recommended: A, C, E, I, J, and H (wide band) or 1, 5, 10, 16, 21, 24, 31, and 35 (narrow
band) for 72 MHz and 2A, 2K, and 2V (wide band) or 1A, 1C, 1F, 1N, and 1V (narrow band)
Distributed Spacing: If you are using transmitters that are spread out over space, you can achieve more
simultaneous broadcast channels. However, it is critical that your receiver(s) be located as close to its transmitter as possible. You can use adjacent channels (see frequency compatibility tables on pages 21-22) in this
case as long as the adjacent channel transmitter is at least 50% further away from the receiver as its transmitter. Example: The transmitter for the receiver on channel E is 100 feet from the receiver. The adjacent
channel transmitter on channel D should be at least 150 feet away.
Channel Select Mode
The Listen Button on your receiver has been programmed from the factory for Channel Select Mode. This
mode is especially useful for applications where users are required to select between active channels (such
as language interpretation or multiple classrooms), and you don’t want them to have to go through all avail-
able channels to nd the appropriate channel. In this mode the button can be programmed to increment
only through the desired active channels in your facility and lock out all the other unused channels.
In this mode when the Listen Button is pressed the unit will increment through the channel list to the next
programmed channel. For example if there are three channels programmed (English, Spanish and German) and the unit is on the English and the button is pressed the unit will switch to Spanish. If the button is
pressed again the unit will switch to German and an additional press will take the unit back to English again.
There are two modes to customize the channel list for the Listen Button. The two modes are Automatic
Channel Selection and Manual Channel Selection. These modes can be programmed using the unit or via
the IDSP Software Suite.
Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with the Automatic Channel Selection, Auto 2 (channels E and
A) enabled for 72MHz or (channels 2C and 2V) enabled for 216 MHz.

is pressed for 5 seconds then the selected channel will be saved and the unit will exit the channel select
mode. See page 21 for complete channel selection information.
Seek Mode
Seek Mode is another way to nd and active channel in a venue. In the Seek Mode with a press of the
Listen Button the unit searches for and locks onto the next active channel in the list of available channels.
This mode is useful when users are moving from room to room or may not know which channel to select.
In this mode it is possible that the unit will mistake interference for a real broadcast signal. If you
get interference, press the Seek Button again. The unit may also stop on a channel that is close to the
actual broadcast channel if in the available channel list, in which case the channel will sound noisy
or distorted. Simply press Seek again until you nd the clearest operating channel.

Advanced Program Features and Listen’s iDSP Software Suite
To manage the advanced program features on any of the iDSP™ receivers a windows based User
Interface (UI) software is required.
This software is available free of charge
from Listen Technologies. To download
the software log onto http://www.listen-
tech.com/support/software/idsp-software-suite/ and follow the instructions.
With the UI software, direct communication
is provided via the Micro USB connection
on the receiver. Once connected the UI
software provides setup and adjustment of
the following functions of the LR-5200 receiver.
Note: A help le for the UI software is included
with the download and will provide detailed
instructions for set up and management of
all the advanced program features of the
LR-5200 receiver.
Super Quiet Mode
To reduce background noise and increase the audio quality, Listen oers a noise reduction technology
called Listen SQ™. Only Listen *transmitters and receivers have SQ™ available, both the transmitter and
receiver must have SQ™ activated to achieve the improved sound quality performance. This
LR-4200 receiver has been shipped to you with the SQ™ feature enabled.
SQ™ Summary:
Improves noise performance by at least 20 dB
SQ must be enabled for both the transmitter and receivers
SQ™ is NOT Squelch
SQ™ is NOT compatible with other manufactures’ products
SQ™ can be disabled to permit operation with early Listen products or other
manufactures, products
Note: SQ™ is not available on some of the early Listen transmitters. Please contact Listen’s Technical Support team to nd out if your
existing transmitter has this feature available.
Note: If you are planning to use this product with older Listen systems that do not employ SQ™ or
another manufactures transmitter The SQ™ mode should disabled on this receiver. Refer to the
manual supplied with the downloaded Listen UI software for details on how to manage the SQ™ Mode on this
receiver.
PAGE 18 l LR-5200 RECEIVER MANUAL
Page 19
Squelch
The purpose of squelch is to mute the audio output of the receiver when the signal from the
transmitter is turned o or the level is too weak to be received. Without squelch radio noise will
be heard in the earphone. The squelch on the receiver can be adjusted to mute the audio at
dierent RF signal strengths. There are 20 squelch settings. The lowest squelch setting (no squelch)
is “0” and the tightest squelch setting is “20”. Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with the
squelch setting of 3.
Useful as follows:
• To ensure that users don’t hear transmissions from other transmitters, set the squelch setting to
the highest level that doesn’t squelch the receiver in the dened listening area
• If the receiver is to close to the transmitter (i.e. in a classroom), set the squelch high enough so that
when the transmitter is turned o it immediately squelches the audio on the receiver and transmitters in other rooms will not be heard
• In an area that has a lot of broadcast inference, adjust the squelch setting to a higher setting to
ensure the interference is not picked by the receiver
• For the maximum amount of range, consider setting the squelch setting to a low level (0, 1 or 2).
This expands the range but could allow interference from other transmitters when operating far
distances from the primary transmitter
Basic Channels and Expanded Channels Modes
Your Listen receiver has been shipped with the Basic Channel Mode enabled.
In the default Basic Channel Mode, only the wide band channels are available for selection. If the channel
desired is not available in Basic Channel Mode, the receiver will need to be set to the Expanded Channel
Mode. In Expanded Channel Mode all wide band and narrow band are available for selection.
Channel Labels
The channel labels are displayed on the OLED status screen. The default is the channel number the receiver has been programmed to receive, i.e. “CH-E”. Customization of this display can be created to better
identify the type of audio, for example CH-E could be changed to display “Spanish” if the receiver is used
for language translation.
Auto Power Mode
The auto power mode will automatically power the receiver on when the unit is removed from
the charging device, displaying the unit ID, battery status and the active channel. When the unit is
returned to the charging device the unit will automatically turn o and resume charging operation. Your
Listen receiver has been shipped to you with the Auto Power Mode enabled.

Page 20
Unit ID
The unit ID number provides a unique identication for each receiver that is displayed on the OLED status
screen. This can be any 3 digit number between 000 and 999. The unit ID allows venues to track individual
units and for easy dispensing and inventory control. Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with a
Unit ID of 000.
Brightness Control
The Brightness Control adjusts the level of brightness of the OLED display. There are four settings Auto,
Bright, Dim and Disabled. In the Auto mode the unit uses an internal light sensor and automatically dims
the display when the light level is below approximately 10 Lux. In the Bright, Dim or Disabled mode the
unit disables the light sensor and leaves the OLED in the selected Bright or Dim state. In the disabled
mode the unit disables the display from lighting during normal operation except for the power on
sequence or when the power button is momentarily pressed to check status. The receiver is shipped with
the Auto Brightness Control Mode enabled.
Jack Sense
The jack sense mode when enabled will automatically turn the receiver on when a headset is inserted into
the 3.5 mm output jack on the receiver. The receiver will automatically turn o after 60 seconds when the
headset is removed from the 3.5 mm output jack. Your listen receiver has been shipped to you with the
Jack Sense Mode disabled.
Note: If Jack Sense is on and Auto Power is on, the receiver will ignore jack sense while on the charger.
Unit Information
When a unit is connected to the conguration software the software extracts specic information from the
unit and displays it for the user. This information includes the model number, frequency, Serial Number
and Firmware Version.
Reset to Factory Defaults
The unit can be returned to the factory default settings.
Firmware Update
The rmware update function will check via the internet to see if a rmware update is available for
the receiver.

RF Reception Maximization Strategies:
For proper and reliable operation, Listen receivers should receive a strong and consistent signal from
the originating transmitter. Follow these strategies should be used to maximize this signal:
a. When designing and installing a system, keep in mind that the location of
both the transmitter and receivers is critical to maximizing signal strength
b. Eliminate or minimize obstructions between the transmitter and receivers
c. Minimize the distance between the transmitter and receivers
d. Move transmitter and receivers away from metal objects
e. Place the transmitting antenna as high as possible (on stationary transmitters)
f. Orient both transmitting and receiving antennas vertically
g. On portable transmitters and receivers, the cable from the microphone or
headset is the antenna; ensure that the cable is not coiled or laying horizontal
h. For 216 MHz stationary LT-800 transmitter only, consider using a gain antenna such
as a Yagi type antenna or the LA-107 ground plane antenna.
Note: If the RF signal to the 216 MHz models is too high, the audio will be distorted. This may happen if you
are within 40 feet (12m) of the LT-800-216 transmitter or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the LT-700-216 transmitter.
CAUTION: When installing remote antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines. Coaxial cable,
connectors, and optional antenna mounting kits are available from Listen. Visit www.listentech.com
or ask your dealer for details.

Troubleshooting LR-5200 Receivers:
The receiver has no power
Make sure the unit has either a fully charged battery or a Listen approved wall charging transformer is
connected. Make sure the Power button on the top of the unit has been pressed to turn the unit ON.
If this does not work, make sure the battery is installed properly and / or install a replacement battery.
There is no audio
Make sure the volume control is turned up to at least 25%. Check the Intelligent Earphone/Neck Loop
Lanyard to insure it’s plugged all of the way. Make sure the Ear Phone is plugged into the Earphone/
Loop Lanyard. Check to insure the transmitter is broadcasting an audio source. Verify the receiver
to the same channel as the transmitter. If the RF signal is too weak, the receiver will squelch and mute the
audio source; move closer to the antenna or make sure the transmitter’s output RF power switch is set on
“FULL” (LT-800).
The audio is distorted
Check the receiver is on the correct channel and make sure your using the clearest channel possible. Verify
the audio on the transmitter is not turned up too loud; this will cause distortion. Insure the Intelligent Ear
Phone/Neck Loop Lanyard connectors are pushed all the way into the jacks on top of the unit. Check the Ear
Phone to verify it is plugged all the way into the Ear Phone/Neck Loop Lanyard. Review the SQ™ settings on
your transmitter and receivers to verify both are turned ON (or OFF, if some of your equipment is not SQ™
capable). Make sure the receiver is not too close to the transmitting antenna. If the receiver can’t get farther
away from the antenna, turn down the RF output power on the stationary (LT-800) transmitter.
I cannot pick up the signal on the receiver
Check to make sure the receiver and the transmitter are on the same exact channel frequency. Verify the
receiver is in broadcast range of the transmitter. Move the receiver closer to the transmitter.
Neck
is tuned
I can pick up the signal on the receiver, but it sounds like it’s not tuned in
Check the transmitter and receiver and verify they are both on exactly the same channel number/letter.
Make sure you are using a clear channel that is free from noise and interference.
I’m using another brand of transmitter - how do I tell which channel to use?
Refer to Listen’s Channel Frequency Chart (page 21). Adjust either the transmitter or the receiver
to a common channel.
There is not sucient range
Inspect the transmitting antenna verify it is located as close as possible to the receiving area. Place the
antenna as high as possible and check to see it is free from obstacles. Check the squelch setting on the
unit; perhaps it is too sensitive.
When I change channels, only certain channels are accessible
The unit is in auto mode or has been limited in manual mode or the unit has been programmed to basic
mode which only shows the wide band channels. The unit can be programmed for expanded mode which
will show all 57 channels. This is programmed via the conguration software.
My battery is not charging
Verify the clear plastic pull tab has been removed from the receiver battery door engaging the battery
connections. Make sure the battery is installed properly and that the unit is plugged into the charging
device correctly. Check the charging device to verify it is plugged in the proper power outlet and
power is available at the outlet. If this does not work, install a replacement battery.
I want to run the unit from a wall transformer
Simply plug a Listen approved charging transformer (LA-423) into the Micro USB connector on the side of the
unit. A battery must be installed at all times even when operating the unit with a wall charging transformer.
