Adjusting the squelch threshold Interference due to other transmission links can be eliminated as follows: ̈ Switch off the transmitter. The receiver should no longer receive a signal. ̈ If the receiver still receives a signal, use the SQUELCH control ¹ to increase the squelch threshold so that the signal will no longer be received. If the signal cannot be eliminated in this way, set the ¹ transmitter and the receiver to a different channel. ̈ Switch on the transmitter again and check if the receiver receives the transmitter signal. Note: If the squelch threshold is adjusted too high, the transmission range will be reduced. Therefore, always adjust the squelch treshold to the lowest possible setting. Selecting a channel Transmitters and receivers have four channels respectively with intermodulation-free frequencies. Note: These frequencies are different to those in evolution systems and freePORT systems should not be used together with evolution systems without great care. ̈ Always set the transmitter and the receiver to the same channel.

Adjusting the squelch threshold
Interference due to other transmission links can be eliminated as
follows:
±
Switch off the transmitter. The receiver should no longer receive a
signal.
±
If the receiver still receives a signal, use the
SQUELCH
control
¾
to
increase the squelch threshold so that the signal will no longer be
received. If the signal cannot be eliminated in this way, set the
transmitter and the receiver to a different channel.
±
Switch on the transmitter again and check if the receiver receives
the transmitter signal.
Note:
If the squelch threshold is adjusted too high, the transmission range
will be reduced. Therefore, always adjust the squelch treshold to the
lowest possible setting.
Selecting a channel
Transmitters and receivers have four channels respectively with
intermodulation-free frequencies.
Note:
These frequencies are different to those in evolution systems and
freePORT systems should not be used together with evolution sys-
tems without great care.
±
Always set the transmitter and the receiver to the same channel.
Adjusting the transmitter sensitivity
±
Use the
GAIN
control
¹
on the SK 2 bodypack transmitter to adjust
the sensitivity so that even during the loudest passages the
AF PEAK
LED
º
on the EM 1 receiver does not light up.
Care and maintenance
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the units from time to time.
Note:
Do not use any cleansing agents or solvents.
To clean the SKM 3’s sound inlet basket:
±
Unscrew the sound inlet basket
²
(turn counterclockwise) and
remove it.
±
Remove the foam insert and use a slightly damp cloth to clean the
sound inlet basket.
±
Reinsert the dry foam insert, replace the sound inlet basket on the
SKM 3 and screw it tight.
