Important safety instructions
Important safety instructions
• Read the instruction manual and the safety guide carefully and completely before using the product.
• Ensure that the instruction manual and safety guide are easily accessible
to all users at all times.
• Always include this instruction manual and the safety guide when
passing the product on to third parties.
• Only use attachments, accessories and spare parts specified by the
manufacturer.
• Do not attempt to open the product housing on your own. The warranty
is voided for products opened by the customer.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the product has been damaged in any way, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the product, when the product has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
• Use the product only under the conditions of use listed in the specifications.
• Do not operate the product if it was damaged during transportation.
• Do not operate the product if it was damaged during transportation.
• Keep the product and its connections away from liquids and electrically
conductive objects that are not necessary for operating the product.
• Do not use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the
product.
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
The Tourguide 1039 system consists of the EK 1039 receiver and a suitable
transmitter of the evolution wireless G3, G4 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 Aw+, Gw, Bw, Cw
and Dw. For setting up a transmission link, the evolution wireless G3, G4 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 (see
www.sennheiser.com/frequency-information).
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 suit your needs. In this
case, however, it might be that the frequencies are not intermodulation-free.

adaptability.
Features of the receiver:
• Easy and comfortable use
• Channel indication with individual channel name via display
• Channel adjustment via rocker button

EK 1039
All mentioned transmitters of the evolution wireless G3, G4 or 2000 series
are available in frequency ranges that are compatible with the frequency
ranges of the 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 micro-
phone or a headmic so that the tour guide has both hands free and complete
freedom of movement while guiding the group.

SKP plug-on transmitter A plug-on transmitter converts a wired microphone into a radio microphone,
allowing e.g. to use an existing microphone for your mobile Tourguide application.
Stationary use of the transmitters
SR monitoring transmitter You can use a stationary transmitter for e.g. running a small conference or
for offering a translation of the audio channel. The transmitter can be connected to a mixing console and to other audio sources.
