How to switch on the SKM 5000

The handheld transmitter SKM 5000 is

switchedonwiththeswitchonthehandle.The

green LED next to it indicates that the hand-

held transmitter is ready for operation.

Channel selection

After having removed the power supply unit

(see next page) the channel selector switch is

accessible. Select one of the 16 channels with a

small screw driver (breadth: 2mm) as

adjustment tool. The exact channel for the

transmitter frequencies is given on the sticker

in the microphone handle below the channel

selector switch.

Hints

왘Thetransmitterfrequencymustcorrespond

to the received frequency selected at the

receiver!

왘The antenna is positioned at the end of the

handheldtransmitterSKM5000withinthe

For not reducing the power do not touch

the handle end during operation!

How to open the SKM 5000

햲Turn the locking at the microphone of the

SKM 5000 in direction of arow.

Remove the power supply unit

햳Push the battery compartment B 5000 or

the rechargeable battery unit BA 5000 to

the back.

햴Lift up the battery compartment or the

rechargeable battery unit and

햵remove it.

Insert the batteries

햲Press down the front cover. The compart-

ment opens and the cover swings down.

햳Insert the batteries.

왘Payattentiontothepolarityofthebatteries!

왘Use only alkali-manganese batteries.

Otherwise the total operating time is

drastically reduced (see technical data).

왘

Battery or rechargeable

battery operation ?

For regular operation you should use non-

polluting rechargeable batteries (BA 5000)

instead of batteries.

Indication of the residual operating time on the

power supply unit

왘B 5000

The LED indication on the top side of the

battery compartment B 5000 indicates the

residualbatteryoperatingtimein3stepsin%.

If the third LED blinks up the residual

operatingtimeisonlyapprox.30minutes.

The batteries should now be replaced!

왘BA 5000

The LED indication on the top side of the

rechargeablebatteryunitBA5000indicates

theresidualrechargeablebatteryoperating

time in 5 steps in %.

If the fifth LED blinks up the residual

operatingtimeisonlyapprox.30minutes.

The rechargeable battery unit should

now be replaced. (How to charge in the

battery charger L 50 see next page).

... Indication at the EM 1046 (EXAMPLE)

The display of an EM 1046-RX-module

(channel module),too, indicates the residual

operating time in %. The residual operating

time of approx. 30 minutes (see above) is

indicated by the blinking warning signal

„LowBatt“.

Hint

왘You will find a corresponding description

in the instructions for the EM 1046 / EM

3031 / EM 3032 / EM 3532 / EK 3041.

Recharge with the battery charger L 50

Upto two rechargeablebattery unitsBA 5000

canbechargedinthebatterychargerL50.The

suitable charging adapter has to be inserted in

the battery charger. This adapter adapts the

corresponding charging contacts to the

rechargeable battery unit BA 5000.

The instructions for the battery charger give

more details of the charging procedure itself.

The battery charger L 50 and the suitable

battery adapter are available as accessories.

Change the microphone heads

ThemicrophoneheadoftheSKM5000canbe

changed according to the use in different

situations.

햲Unscrew the threaded joint

햳Pull off the microphone head.

Adjust the sensitivity

For the SKM 5000 the sensitivity of the

microphonecanbeadoptedforeachrecording

situation in steps of 10 dB.

The selector switch becomes accessible when

unscrewing the microphone head. ( CHANGE

THE MICROPHONE HEADS).

Position Situation

5normal voices, e.g. discussion,

speaking distance approx. 1m

3-4 normal, low voices for close

talking

2loud voices, close-talking in

noisy environment, too

1very loud voices, vocal music,

close-miking.

Switch on the roll-off filter

Below the selector switch for the sensitivity

there is situated a further sliding switch. It

serves for the additional connection of a filter

which attenuates undesired low frequency

noiseslikethose causedby machines,by wind

andsoundimpacts.Belowapprox.200Hzthis

filter attenuates with 6 dB/octave.
