Activating/deactivating the lock mode The receiver has a lock mode that can be activated or deactivated via the operating menu (see "Activating/ deactivating the lock mode" on page 25). The lock mode prevents that the receiver is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation. 15 The operating menu A special feature of the Sennheiser ew 500 G2 series is the similar, intuitive operation of transmitters and receivers.
