Important safety instructions

Important safety instructions

• Read this instruction manual.

• Keep this instruction manual. Always include this instruction manual when
passing the product on to third parties.

• Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.

• Only clean the product with a dry cloth.

• Do not place the product near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or
other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by Sennheiser.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required if the device has been damaged in any way, liquid has
been spilled, objects have fallen inside, the product has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate properly or has been dropped.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of short circuits, do not use the product near water
and do not expose it to rain or moisture.

Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes

This is a professional receiver. Commercial use is subject to the rules and regula­tions of the trade association responsible. Sennheiser, as the manufacturer, is
therefore obliged to expressly point out possible health risks arising from use.

The EK 1039 receiver is capable of producing sound pressure levels exceeding
85 dB (A). 85 dB (A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the maximum permis­sible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect your hearing for
the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis according to the specifications
of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your
hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent
hearing damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to
excessive noise for too long a time:

• You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.

• You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer
hear high notes.

Inform the users of your Tourguide application about these facts and, if necessary,
ask them to set the volume to a medium level.

The Tourguide 1039 system

The Tourguide 1039 system consists of the EK 1039 receiver and a suitable trans­mitter of the evolution wireless G3 or 2000 series.

The system offers optimum speech transmission for guided tours, small confer­ences and interpretation applications with one or several speakers.

The use of RF transmission allows freedom of movement for all members of the
group. Due to the possibility of combining the EK 1039 receiver with different
transmitters, the system can be optimally adapted to your individual needs.

Frequency ranges

The EK 1039 receiver is available in the frequency ranges Bw, Cw and Dw. The fol­lowing diagram shows an overview of compatible frequency ranges. For setting up
a transmission link, the evolution wireless G3 or 2000 (including IEM) series trans­mitter used must operate in a matching frequency range and must be set to the
same frequency as the receiver.

32 factory-preset frequencies that are intermodulation-free allow you to operate
up to 32 transmission links simultaneously.

You can change the factory-preset frequencies to s uit you r needs . In this case, how­ever, it might be that the frequencies are not intermodulation-free.

Features of the EK 1039 receiver

The EK 1039 is a small, rugged bodypack receiver that can easily be attached to
clothing by means of a belt clip. The receiver allows you to connect any headphones
(min. 8 Ω) and to individually adjust the volume. 32 UHF receiving frequencies
(preset but changeable) offer high flexibility and adaptability.

Features of the receiver:

• Easy and comfortable use

• Channel indication with individual channel name via display

• Channel adjustment via rocker button

• Operation and reception indication via LED

•“LowBattery” indication via LED and display

EK 1039 receivers (see page 4).

Mobile use of the transmitters

SK bodypack transmitter A portable bodypack transmitter allows the connection of a clip-on microphone or

a headmic so that the tour guide has both hands free and complete freedom of
movement while guiding the group.

e.g.
SK 300

EK 1039

SKM radio microphone A radio microphone can be passed on from the tour guide to members of the group,

e.g. when questions arise during the guided tour.
