SAFETYOur aim is to supply you with a product that provides you with countless hours of trouble free use. In order to achieve these goals we recommend the following:• Keep the system away from direct sources of heat e.g. central heating radiators, heaters and direct sunlight.• Do not expose the unit to an environment where it could be splashed with liquids as this may result in fire or electric shocks.• Should the transmitters not be used for extended periods of time we recommend that the batteries are removed to avoid any potential leakage.• Keep the system clean by using a slightly damp cloth. Never use household cleaning agents or solvents.• Avoid using or storing the system in damp conditions.• Always use the AC power adaptor supplied with the receiver and always disconnect from the AC outlet when not in use. And never remove the external covers of the equipment, so as to expose the electronics, or modify the unit in any way. Should the covers be removed, or any other breach of the above instruction, the warranty becomes null and void in addition to personal risk from burns and/or electric shock.When using the unit should any of the following conditions occur, switch off the unit and remove AC adaptor from AC outlet immediately and contact your nearest dealer.• Smoke or unusual smell• Water or foreign metallic object inside unit• Damaged housings caused by physical damageNever pull cord of AC adaptor, always grasp main body of unit when connecting/disconnecting to AC power outletNever touch any part of the system during a thunderstorm, as this may result in severe electric shock GETTING STARTEDThe S5 series is a high quality, fully featured wireless microphone system with many features including an intuitive operating system. To enable you to get started we recommend you initially set up the system as outlined in the next few pages.2S5_manualV1.2.indd 3 25/10/07 17:18:09
RECEIVER SET-UPRear View Front View 1. Attach the supplied antennae (2) to the rear panel TNC antenna connectors as shown in above illustration.2.

RECEIVER FREQUENCY SELECTION5. Frequency selection options• To change selected channel in BANK1: Press “Jog-wheel” for 3 secs and enter the MAIN MENU. Press FREQ SELECT and go to BANK setting, then select BANK1 and rotate jog wheel to select new channel, finally press to ACCEPT to select new frequency. See attached frequency table. • To change selected Bank: Press “Jog-wheel” for 3 secs and enter the MAIN MENU. Press FREQ SELECT and go to BANK setting, then select required BANK by rotating and pressing “Jog-Wheel” Select new channel, finally press ACCEPT to select new frequency. Go to step 6 to program transmitter via the Receiver Infra-red port.• To change selected channel to a Custom single frequency. This option allows the customer to select 1 of over 1400 available channels: Press “Jog-wheel” for 3 secs and enter the MAIN MENU. Press FREQ SELECT and go to SINGLE press EDIT and rotate and press “Jog-Wheel” to Select new frequency and User Name. Press “Jog-Wheel” for 3 secs to EXIT then ACCEPT to select new custom frequency. Go to step 6 to program transmitter via the Receiver infra-red port. Please note: For S5.3 product the single user frequency will be added to Transmitter with receiver Bank1. In the case of the S5.5 it will be added to the Custom “USER” bank. See CD-ROM for more information.6. Program Transmitter with Bank information via Receiver Infra-red port Press “Jog-Wheel “ for 3 secs and enter MAIN MENU Press TX SET to enter TX SETTINGS press FREQUENCY and align the Transmitter and Receiver Infra-red windows at a distance of less than 15cm, press SEND and wait a few seconds. The Transmitter should now be programmed and the Receiver will return to main display.MISC SETTINGSMute/Squelch settings• The S5 series uses sophisticated internal Mute functions including Pilot tone, Noise and RSSI to prevent noise break through from external sources when the transmitter is in the “OFF” position. The RSSI (Received signal strength) portion is user adjustable via the RX SETTINGS MENU. To Access press “Jog-Wheel” for 3 secs and enter MAIN MENU select and press RX SET then press MUTE and rotate “Jog-Wheel” to adjust between 1-10 then press. Please note high mute settings will decrease range and low mute settings increase the interference potential. We recommend a setting of between 4-6.Pilot Tone The S5 series has the ability to disable the pilot tone as a means of either identifying outside interference or allowing compatibility with non-pilot tone devices. To disable Pilot Tone go to RX SETTINGS menu and select PILOT and remove “Dot” from the “Box” then Exit menu.4S5_manualV1.2.indd 5 25/10/07 17:18:10
TRANSMITTER SET-UPHANDHELD 1. Undo handheld sleeve by unscrewing the end cap anti-clockwise and then gently sliding the sleeve to expose the LCD and Battery compartment. Place alkaline “AA” cell into battery compartment noting the correct polarity.2. Slide the On-Off switch to the “On” position and observe the display is on and the battery LED located in the end cap is illuminated. Check display indicates same channel as receiver.3. The receiver should now show received signal on its RF bargraphs and after 20 seconds the transmitter battery status.4. Handheld Gain adjust Turn on Transmitter and wait for the flashing “decimal point” on the LCD to stop flashing. Press “Up” or “Down” buttons to increase or decrease head sensitivity in 3 stages. (0-2) “0” gain being for max SPL.5. Frequency adjust Turn on Transmitter and adjust frequency whilst “decimal point” is flashing (approx 6 secs) via the “Up” or “Down” buttons. When correct frequency is selected Turn transmitter “Off” then “On” to activate new selected channel. 6. Microphone Mute Switch Incorporated in the Handheld end-cap is a Power ON LED and Audio Mute switch. To mute the audio place switch towards LED.End capSleevePower ‘On’ PositionInfra-red portBattery indicatorUp/DownFrequencyGrille5S5_manualV1.2.indd 6 25/10/07 17:18:11

OPERATING HINTSTo maximise operating performance Trantec recommend the following:• Ensure good line of sight between receiver antenna and transmitter, avoid obstructions e.g. Concrete walls and metal structures.• Always ensure the receiver antenna is at least 3m (10 feet) away from the transmitters at all times • Always ensure transmitters are separated by at least 20cm.• Never position the transmitter antenna directly against the body or the hand. This will reduce the operating range.• Ensure correct setting of Mute control for effective control of interference whilst the transmitter is turned off. Default is normally 4-5 but may need to increase with multi-channel set-ups.• Do not mix separate Banks in multi-channel set-ups.• Use SCAN function to check for external interference. (See CD-ROM for more information)• Set transmitter AF gain so as the receiver VU indicates 0db with occasional peaks to +6dB.• Keep Microphone/Instrument lead away from the antenna on the beltpack.• Do not mix other brands of wireless microphone as Trantec cannot guarantee multichannel compatibility.TROUBLESHOOTING• No operation of Transmitter Replace current battery with fresh correct Alkaline ‘AA’ type.• No RF signal on receiver Check transmitter and receiver are “Tuned” to the same channel • Poor range Check mute level setting. For normal range we recommend a Mute setting of 4-5.• AF Signal distorted Check Receiver XLR mic-line switch for correct match to Mixer/Amplifier. Reduce gain of Transmitter if VU meter shows over 6dB.• AF Signal low level with high background noise Adjust Transmitter gain so as VU bar graph shows 0dB with 6dB peaks.• External Head amplifiers not operating Check for shorts in the Leads and ensure Receiver PHANTOM PWR is switched on via RX SETTINGS Menu.• Receiver LCD contrast poor Enter receiver RX SETTINGS Menu, select LCD and press then rotate “Jog-Wheel” to adjust contrast. The receiver will automatically exit after a few seconds.7S5_manualV1.2.indd 8 25/10/07 17:18:12
