a radio signal on the same channel as the
receiver. The Signal Strength and Diversity
Indicators on the receiver’s LCD display will
then light up, indicating that the IR link is
completed. If no action is taken during the
three seconds of active data transfer, the
receiver and the transmitter units do not link
and transmitter’s previous program channel
remains unchanged.
Note: The IR link is infrared light and thus works
best when this data transfer is accomplished in a
light-shielded or darker environment. It may not
be successful in a brightly lit area. If the transfer
fails, repeat the procedure in a darker location
or somehow shield the link from outside light to
successfully program the transmitter with the
pre-programmed group and channel info from
the receiver.
Manual Programming (GRP/CH and Volume):
The transmitter’s frequency is set using the
Set Button (26) and then the (UP) or (DOWN)
Buttons (25). To start, press the Set button
once. The backlight on the LCD (36) will light
up and the Group Icon (24) will flash. Use the
or buttons to change the group. When a
group selection is finished, press the Set
button again for the channel selection. The
Channel Icon (24) will now flash. Again, use
the or buttons to change the channel as
desired. When the Group/Channel selection
is done, press the Set button to enter the
volume level input setting and then press
or to change in four steps from 0dB to
-30dB (for loudest input) or press the Set
button a second time to exit to the main
menu. To change the volume input level
only, press the Set button three times to
select the volume input level setting. Use
or to change in four steps from 0dB to
-30dB (for loudest input). The level is preset
at -10dB for the HT-1KU, which is best for
most applications.
For normal operation, the transmitter should
have the same Group/Channel as displayed on
the receiver. After programming is finished,
slide the battery cover back then turn the
Mic Ball (23) counterclockwise to secure the
housing. The HT-1KU is now ready for use.
HT-1KU Transmitter Switches
At Power Off the transmitter will store
the last settings entered and re-display
them at the next power on where it can be
reprogrammed to any new Group/Channel.
The default factory setting is Group 08,
Channel 00.
The RF Power Level Switch (27) is used
to select Hi/Low power transmission
(see Operating the HT-1KU Handheld
Transmitter).
Each time the Set Button (19) is pressed,
the LCD main menu will cycle in this order:
MAIN MENU
>
GROUP
>
CHANNEL
>
VOLUME
>
repeat
The selected function will flash for 20
seconds before returning to the main menu.
The or Buttons (25) work in the set mode
only. They can be used to change any
Group/Channel as selected (if not using
IR Sync from receiver). They can also be
used to select the desired Input audio level
VOL setting.
Operating the HT-1KU
Handheld Transmitter
During normal operation with the unit
powered on, the transmitter power level
can be changed by sliding the RF Power
Switch (27) to “H” to increase the
transmitted RF power (for longer range)
or to “L” to decrease the RF power
(reduced range). This is a useful feature as
the “L” setting increases battery life and
also optimizes the number of channels
that can be used simultaneously in a given
location. Use this setting for normal use
not requiring maximum operating range.
A range walk test before use will determine
which setting is best for your application.
Slide the On/Off switch to the on position
and the microphone is now ready to use.
The receiver’s RF Signal Meter (7) and
Diversity A or B (3) indicators should now
