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

The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off or
when there is no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.
WARNING
Danger of hearing damage!
If you switch the squelch off or adjust the squelch threshold to a very
low value, loud hissing noise can occur in the receiver. The hissing
noise can be loud enough to cause hearing damage!
왘 Always make sure that the squelch is switched on.
왘 Before adjusting the squelch threshold, set the volume of the
headphone output to the minimum (see page 11).
왘 Never change the squelch threshold during a guided tour.
왘 Only switch off the squelch for servicing or test purposes.
왘 Adjust the squelch threshold – with the transmitter switched off – to the
lowest possible setting that suppresses hissing noise.
A high squelch threshold reduces the transmission range.
The squelch should only be switched off for servicing or test purposes. With the
squelch threshold set to “Low”, you switch the squelch off by keeping the DOWN
rocker button pressed for 3 seconds.

Recommendations and tips
Recommendations and tips
General information
• Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from
about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight” between
transmitter and receiver.
• For best sound quality, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly
adjusted (see the instruction manual for the transmitter).
… for SKM radio microphones and SKP plug-on transmitters
• Hold the radio microphone in the middle of the microphone body. Holding it
close to the sound inlet basket will influence the radio microphone’s pick-up
pattern, holding it at the lower part of the microphone body will reduce the
radiated transmission power and thus the transmission range.
• You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking
distance.
• For best sound quality, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly
adjusted (see the instruction manual for the transmitter).
• The plug-on transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna – therefore
microphones with a metal casing should be used for best signal transmission.
… for SK bodypack transmitters
• Make sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross.
• The antenna should hang or stand freely and be at least 1 cm away from the
body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.
• For best sound quality, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly
adjusted (see the instruction manual for the transmitter).
… for stationary SR monitoring transmitters
• Only use the monitoring transmitter in mono operation.
• For optimum RF operation, use suitable antennas from the Sennheiser accessory range. For more information on suitable accessories, visit the corresponding product pages at www.sennheiser.com.
