Notes on wireless transmission
n This device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European Union (EU)
and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the
frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regulated. Before you
start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective country and check whether
the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority.
For more information, please visit: http://www.thomann.de.
n Make sure that transmitter and receiver are both tuned to the same channel.
n Never set multiple transmitters to the same channel.
n Make sure that there are no metal objects between the transmitter and receiver.
n Avoid interference from other radio or in-ear systems.

4.2 Dealing with lithium batteries
When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are
hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should
happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte
using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean
your hands and the aected surface thoroughly with cold water.
WARNING!
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium bat‐
teries can cause severe injuries.
Follow the advice on the correct handling of lithium batteries in the present sec‐
tion.

4.3 Receiver
Installation and starting up
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium bat‐
teries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries
against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning
lithium battery.
Inserting batteries into the
receiver
Turn the battery compartment latches into vertical position. Press on the snap-in locks at the
side to open the battery compartment. Flip the lid open and insert the batteries. Pay attention
to the correct location of the poles. Close the battery compartment and turn the battery com‐
partment latches into horizontal position.

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a
plug ts into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a short
circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hi use.
Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives of
the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐
mitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at low
levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.
In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because this
enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc‐
tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers
the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.

Plug and connection assignment
Since the interference aects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the
interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐
ference.

Troubleshooting
9 Troubleshooting
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
SymptomRemedy
No sound1. Check the power supply of transmitter and receiver.
2. Make sure that transmitter and receiver are operating in the same frequency
range. The frequency range can be found on the devices.
3. Are transmitter and receiver set to the same channel and ID?
4. Test the connection between the receiver and the connected audio device
(amplier, mixer). Is the connected audio device turned on and does the signal
level at the output of the receiver match the input requirements of the audio
device?
5. See if the audio transmission works when you move the transmitter closer to
the receiver.
42

SymptomRemedy
6. Make sure that no metal objects near the transmitter or receiver obstruct the
transmission.
Transmission is interrupted1. Modify the orientation of the antennas.
2. If you use more than one wireless system at the same time, check the used
frequencies and channels.
3. Interference can also be caused by other radio or in-ear systems.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You
