40 Indications and displays LC display panel Alphanumeric display “B.CH“ – appears when the channel bank and the channel number are displayed “MHz“ – appears when the frequency.
41 “MUTE” display The “MUTE” display appears on the display panel when the radiomicrophone is muted (see “Muting the radiomicrophone” on page 46). Modulation display The level display for audio signal “AF” shows the modulation of the radiomicrophone.
42 Preparing the radiomicrophone for use Inserting/replacing the batteries For powering the radiomicrophone, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack. Unscrew the display section from the radiomicrophone’s body by turning it counter- clockwise.
43 Push the battery compartment into the radiomicrophone’s body. Screw the display section tight. Note: For accupack operation of the radiomicrophone, only use the BA 2015 accupack in order to ensure optimum operational reliability. For charging the accupack, only use the L 2015 charger.
44 Gently ease the capsule out of the contacts and then pull it out of the housing as shown. Do not touch the contacts and the diaphragm! Insert the new capsule. Secure the capsule by tightening the screw. Note: The screw mechanically secures the microphone capsule.
