Setting Up; Mounting The Microphone Element; Inserting Batteries; Operating Modes - AKG WMS4000 Bedienungsanleitung

Prior to setting up your WMS 4000, check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same
frequency, referring to section 3.6 and the receiver manual.
In the display illustrations in the following sections, flashing characters are identified by angle sym-
bols ">" and "<". All the values shown are examples of possible settings.
The " " symbol stands for a short push of the jog switch.
The " " symbol stands for a long push of the jog switch.
The " " symbol stands for turning the jog switch briefly to the left.
The " " symbol stands for turning the jog switch briefly to the right.
The " " symbol stands for turning the jog switch briefly to the left or right.
Screw the microphone element CW onto the thread on the transmitter. All electrical connections will be
made automatically.
1. Unscrew the battery compartment cover (1) CCW from the transmitter.
2. Push the locking button (2) toward the microphone element to unlock the securing clamp (3).
Make sure to hold down the securing clamp (3) as you unlock it. The securing clamp is spring-
loaded and may cause injury if it is allowed to jump out of the battery compartment.
3. Insert the two supplied batteries into the battery compartment, aligning the batteries with the polari-
ty symbols inside the battery compartment.
If you insert the batteries the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
4. Press the securing clamp (3) down on the battery compartment to the point that the locking button (2)
will engage and screw the battery compartment cover (1) back onto the transmitter CW.
Alternatively to the supplied dry batteries, you may use the optional BP 4000 battery pack from AKG. The BP 4000
fits into the battery compartment in the correct orientation only, so you cannot insert it the wrong way.
Never use standard rechargeable batteries! These may damage the transmitter if the charging
contacts are shorted and will provide no remaining battery life indication. AKG will accept no lia-
bility for any damage resulting from the use of standard rechargeable batteries.
1. LOCK mode: The transmitter transmits the microphone output signal to the receiver. All adjustment func-
tions and controls except for the MUTE switch are electronically locked to prevent parameters from being
readjusted unintentionally during a performance or lecture. The LCD screen displays the "LOCK" label.
2. SETUP mode: The transmitter transmits the microphone output signal to the receiver. All controls are
active. You can check all transmitter parameters and set the carrier frequency (refer to section 3.6) and
input gain (refer to section 3.8).
3. SILENT mode: Power to the transmitter is ON, but no RF signal is transmitted. The status LED
remains dark. You can check all transmitter parameters and set the carrier frequency (refer to
section 3.6) and input gain (refer to section 3.8).
We recommend setting the carrier frequency in SILENT mode only. This is the only way to make
sure you won't "go on air" on a frequency that is not allocated or coordinated and risk "jamming"
some other radio service or active radio mic.
Depending on the way you switch power to the transmitter ON, the transmitter will be in either LOCK
mode or SILENT mode on powering up.
If you are not sure as to what carrier frequency the transmitter is tuned to, switch the transmitter
to SILENT mode (refer to section 3.4.1 below) and check that the current carrier frequency is legal
and identical to the frequency selected on the receiver.
1. Push and hold the jog switch (6) until the backlighting of the display (2) comes on and the status LED
(1) extinguishes.
The display (2) will first show the firmware version and then the currently selected carrier frequency in
MHz.
As the backlighting goes out, the display changes as follows:
