With the Simeon Audita FM System, make sure that the selected channel frequencies do not conflict with other FM equipment nearby. It is important that separate channels are selected for each system in one location.

Simeon 5T and 6T Pendant Transmitters To turn the Simeon 5T or 6T on, hold the power button on the front of the transmitter [21], until the display screen reads “On”. This screen shows both the channel selection and the battery status. Adjust the volume control corresponding to the Digital position (A or B) or FM channel (1-96) displayed on your transmitter. The capsule of the Pendant Transmitters [25] is highly directional - point the top of the transmitter directly towards the mouth for best performance.
Assigning Channels FM Transmitters 5T and 5M, and the Simeon FM Dual-Receiver Module, all part of the Simeon Audita FM System, feature a simple-to-use menu that allows selection between 96 UHF channels. To assign a new channel, press the SET button until the displayed channel flashes. Use the up and down cursors to select the new channel. Press SET again to confirm the new channel selection. Make sure that the transmitter channel matches that of the corresponding receiver module.
External Connections The side panel of the Simeon Audita has several external connectors. These can be used to connect devices other than the two transmitters to the receiver. In the left of the side panel there is an auxiliary RCA input jack with gain control [9]. This can be used for connecting external audio sources, such as computers and iPods to the receiver with the appropriate cable. On the right of the side panel there is a 3.5mm auxiliary output jack [13].
Setting Gain Level Check the volume position of both channels before turning the system on! Turn the Simeon Audita ON at the master power switch on the front of the system [1]. The Simeon Audita comes with two independent volume controls – one for each transmitter. With the transmitters turned ON and microphone positioned correctly, slowly increase the volume controls to a comfortable listening level. Avoid excessive amplification – speech should be comfortably audible throughout your listening area.
Useful Tips • Wear the pendant transmitters with the belt clip or lanyard and boom mic for comfort and ease of usability. • Adjust the boom mic headset for comfort, and ensure that the microphone is positioned correctly. • By selecting the Secondary (S) position for the switch inside the 5M and 6M battery compartment, the handheld can be controlled remotely from the pendant transmitter.
Microphone care The microphone is the most delicate component of your soundfield system. Protect the microphone from strain and excessive force. Clean the pin of the microphone plug regularly and replace damaged or missing windscreens and protect the microphone capsule from moisture. The Simeon 623 boom (headset) microphone has a unidirectional pick-up pattern. The tip of the mic capsule must be pointed towards the corner of the mouth for proper performance.
Troubleshooting No Sound Check the Speaker Switch on the side of the receiver. Check that the transmitters and receiver are both turned on, and that the transmitters are not set to MUTE. Verify that the Simeon Audita receiver battery is charged, or else plugged into an AC supply with the correct power adapter. Check or replace transmitter microphone. Check that the transmitter batteries are charged.
