Safety instructions

Never open electronic units! If units are opened by customers in breach
of this instruction, the warranty becomes null and void.

Never expose them to direct sunlight.

Use the units in dry rooms only.

Use a damp cloth for cleaning the units. Do not use any cleansing agents
or solvents.

The freePORT systems

Designed for different areas of application, the freePORT systems are
available in three variants.

y Presentation Set:

This system is ideal for presentation applications. The unobtrusive
ME 2 clip-on microphone is virtually invisible.

y Instrument Set:

This system is for connecting musical instruments (e.g. guitar) which
have a ¼” (6.3 mm) jack socket directly to the bodypack transmitter.

y Vocal Set:

This system is ideal for vocal and speech applications.

Transmitters and receivers of the freePORT systems have four factory­preset frequencies for direct channel selection – ready for immediate
use after switch-on.

The freePORT systems are available in three UHF frequency ranges:

y Frequency range A: 719 to 721 MHz
y Frequency range C: 742.5 to 744.5 MHz
y Frequency range E: 863 to 865 MHz

Hinweise:

The Frequency ranges A and C can only be used in certain areas in
the EU and must be licensed with the regulating authorities. Fre­quency E is license-free in most EU countries (i.e. ETSI signatory
countries).

Please be legal and observe the country-specific regulations of the
licensing authorities. Sennheiser are not responsible if you operate
illegally.

To avoid interfering with other users, the transmitter should be
switched off when not in use.

Features of the freePORT systems:

y Up to four transmission links per frequency range which can be

operated simultaneously

y Reliable transmission technology
y Diversity technology for minimizing dropouts in the reception
y Adjustable squelch for eliminating RF interference
y Rugged housings
y Crystal-clear reception due to dynamic processor
