Putting the devices into operation

EK 100 G3 diversity receiver

Inserting the batteries/accupack

For powering the diversity receiver, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the

rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack.

#Open the battery compartment by pushing the two catches * in the direction of the

arrows and open the cover ).

The L 2015 simultaneously charges up to two devices, e.g. two diversity receivers or

one diversity receiver and one SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter.

The L 2015 charger can only charge the BA 2015 accupack. Standard batteries

(primary cells) or individual rechargeable battery cells cannot be charged.

#Determine where on the perforated plate . the flash mount adapter / will need to be

fastened so that the receiver can best be attached to the camera.

#At this position, place a square nut 0 under the perforated plate ..

#Fasten the flash mount adapter / to the perforated plate . using the square nut 0.

#Lift one side of the belt clip 1 as shown.

#Press down the belt clip 1 at one fixing point and pull it out of the receiver housing.

#Repeat for the other side.

#Place the perforated plate . onto the rear of the receiver.

#Reinsert the belt clip 1.

Putting the devices into operation

SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter

Inserting the batteries/accupack/Charging the accupack

The procedure is the same as for the EK 100 G3 diversity receiver:

To insert the batteries/accupack:

#Read the chapter “Inserting the batteries/accupack” on page 10.

To charge the accupack:

#Read the chapter “Charging the accupack” on page 10.

Connecting the microphone cable/line cable

The audio input is designed for the connection of condenser microphones. DC powering of the

condenser microphones is via the audio input MIC/LINE ! (3.5 mm jack socket).

#Use one of the recommended Sennheiser microphones or the optional CL 2 line cable.

#Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug /from the Sennheiser cable to the 3.5 mm jack socket

MIC/LINE !.

#Lock the 3.5 mm jack plug by screwing down the coupling ring 0of the cable.

#Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the microphone/line input.

Attaching and positioning the corresponding microphones

ME 2/ME 4

#Use the microphone clip 1 to attach the microphone to clothing (e.g. tie, lapel).

The ME 2 clip-on microphone (shown on the right in the diagram) has an omni-directional

pick-up pattern. It is therefore not necessary to position it precisely.

#Attach the ME 2 microphone as close as possible to the sound source.

The ME 4 clip-on microphone (shown on the left in the diagram) has a cardioid pick-up

pattern.

#Position the ME 4 microphone so that its sound inlet is directed towards the sound source

(e.g. mouth).

Putting the devices into operation

Attaching the bodypack transmitter to clothing

You can use the belt clip 2 to attach the bodypack transmitter to clothing (e.g. belt, waist-

band).

The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the transmitter with the antenna

pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the belt clip 2 from its fixing points and attach it

the other way round. The belt clip 2 is secured so that it cannot slide out of its fixing points

accidentally.

To detach the belt clip:

#Lift one side of the belt clip as shown in the diagram on the right-hand side.

#Press down the belt clip at one fixing point and pull it out of the transmitter housing.

#Repeat for the other side.

SKM 100 G3 radio microphone

#Only hold the radio microphone by its body.

Inserting the batteries/accupack

For powering the radio microphone, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the

rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack.

#Unscrew the lower part of the radio microphone from the radio microphone’s body # by

turning it counterclockwise.

#Slide back the lower part of the radio microphone as far as it will go.

#Open the battery compartment cover - (see page 14).

#Insert the batteries or the BA 2015 accupack as shown on the battery compartment

cover. Observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries/accupack (see page 14).

If you touch the antenna of the radio microphone during operation, the trans-

mitter’s range will be considerably reduced!

When unscrewing the radio microphone during operation, the muting function is

automatically activated. “MUTE” appears on the display panel.

When screwing the lower part of the radio microphone back to the radio micro-

phone’s body, the muting is canceled.
