Operation; Before Switching On; Switching On And Adjusting Volume; Selecting The Operating Channel - Albrecht AE5290 XL Bedienungsanleitung

Before switching on

• Turn SQUELCH control left as far as possible
The on/off switch is combined in the VOLUME control. To switch on:
• Turn VOLUME control from OFF position slightly right. LC display and buttons are
illuminated. Then turn further until desired volume is reached.
On the radio set:
• With the channel knob You can continuously select channels. The present channel is
displayed.
On the microphone:
• Press the ∧ or ∨ button on the microphone briefly, to switch up or down a channel.
• Press the respective button longer to run up or down through the channels. The present
channel is displayed.
On the graded bar display You can see approximately how strong the receiving signal is.
The scale under the bar display (S1 to +30) helps with orientation for an input signal in the
stages S1 to S9+30dB.
Please note: the field intensity meter only registers a signal when the muting control has
opened.
Particularly in FM, noise can be a nuisance on a free channel. With the muting control
(SQUELCH) You can suppress this noise - but also signals which are too weak to be
received properly.
This is how to adjust the signal strength required to switch on the loudspeaker, using the
SQUELCH control knob:
The further the control knob is turned to the right, the stronger a signal has to be in order to
be audible through the loudspeaker.
In order to adjust the set to be the most sensitive to incoming signals, switch to a free
channel:
• Use the rotary switch or the microphone buttons to find a free channel, where no
signal is displayed.
• Then turn the SQUELCH control carefully to the right until the noise just about
disappears.
Now the loudspeaker stays off when on a free channel but it switches back on when
receiving even very faint signals.
