Muting the plug-on transmitter The transmitter has a MUTE switch that noiselessly mutes the audio signal without switching the transmitter off. Set the MUTE switch µ to the position 'MUTE'. The "MUTE" display appears on the display panel. Provided that the pilot tone function is activated on both the transmitter and the receiver, the "MUTE" display also appears on the receiver display panel. µ 12 Set the MUTE switch µ back to the original position to retransmit the audio signal. Activating/deactivating the lock mode The transmitter has a lock mode that can be activated or deactivated via the operating menu (see "Activating/ deactivating the lock mode" on page 23). The lock mode prevents that the transmitter is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation. 13 The operating menu A special feature of the Sennheiser ew 500 G2 series is the similar, intuitive operation of transmitters and receivers. "STORED" appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored. The display then returns to the top menu level. With most menus, new settings become effective immediately without having to be stored. An exception are the "BANK", "CHAN", "TUNE" and "RESET" menus. With these menus, new settings only become effective after they have been stored ("STORED" appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored). Exiting the operating menu Select the "EXIT" menu to exit the operating menu and to return to the standard display. When in the operating menu, briefly pressing the ON/ OFF button will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display with the last stored settings. 16 Operating menu of the plug-on transmitter SET EXIT BANK Changing the channel bank SET BANK 1 Current channel bank BANK U / : 1. . . 8, U (User Bank) SET: Stores the setting STORED CHAN Changing the channel SET 1. 03 B.

Each of the channel banks "1" to "8" has up to 20 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission frequency (see "The channel bank system" on page 4). The channel bank "U" (user bank) has up to 20 switchable channels to store your selection out of 1440 transmission frequencies that are freely selectable within the preset frequency range. When switching from one channel bank to another, the channel with the lowest channel number is automatically displayed. Switching between the channels in a channel bank ­ CHAN Via the "CHAN" menu, you can switch between the different channels in a channel bank. When switching between the channels, please observe the following: Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a transmission link to the same channel. Multi-channel operation Combined with ew 500 G2 receivers, the transmitter can form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel systems.
