INTRODUCTION
M-169
Wireless
Microphone
Transmitter
he M-169 transmitter offers the
ultimate performance and
versatility for applications where
one-way personal communication is
required. This compact, personal
transmitter is ideal for instructors and
presenters who must communicate
with persons some distance away or
in a noisy environment.
The M-169 incorporates the latest digital
and analog technologies to produce low
residual noise, wide dynamic range, and
extended frequency response rendering
the most natural sound possible from a
personal communications system.
The audio processing circuit produces
full fidelity frequency response from
100 Hz to 10 kHz in the companded
or non-companded mode to
accommodate a greater variety of
receivers. Operating under FCC
Regulation Part 90 the M-169
has greater transmission range
and reliability.

M-169 SETUP
Setup
a. Check to ensure that the M-169 transmitter’s radio frequency channel is
the same as the associated COMTEK receiver’s channel.
(Channels and mode of operation are indicated by the rotary channel
selector switches on the back of the transmitter. See page 8 and 9.)
b. Open the battery door cover on the transmitter (see page 4) and
insert a new nine volt alkaline battery (Eveready E522 or equivalent).
This type of battery will offer up to 20 hours of operation. Replace the battery
before every use if the demand for fail-safe operation outweighs battery cost. The use
of carbon batteries is not recommended.
NOTE: If a rechargeable battery is to be used, ensure that it has been
allowed to charge at least twelve hours to bring it to full charge
(see page 5 for battery charger instructions).
c. Connect the microphone to the transmitter by inserting the microphone
plug into the receptacle on the top of the transmitter. The transmitter is
operating when the transmitter power switch is turned on and the battery
status/on indicator illuminates.
NOTE: The 48-inch microphone cord also functions as part of the
transmitter’s antenna system. For optimum performance, this cord
should be fully extended. Coiling or bunching the microphone
cord may reduce the range of the transmitter. The transmitter
should be carried by the snap-on belt clip (included) or in a pocket
or belt-clip pouch.
d. In a situation where an extremely loud voice or a very soft voice is used, it
is necessary to adjust the audio input gain control while observing the audio
“voice” level modulation indicator. A full bright LED indicates full audio
compression at 100% modulation. For best performance, the audio input
gain should be adjusted for some low level LED luminescence during
normal audio levels with occasional full bright peaks indicating 100%
modulation.

battery is used with a minimum of 200 mAh capacity.
(Alkaline batteries must not be charged.)
TANT
IMPOR
2. Make sure the M-169 is turned OFF.
3. Note that the red charging indicator on the charger is ON when the M-169
is plugged into the charger through the audio output jack.
4. When using the NBC 9-2C charger allow the battery to charge for 14 hours
for a full charge. Unit must then be unplugged. When using the
NBC 9-3-1 digital fast charger the charger will automatically end the
charge cycle and the red LED will change to green. With this charger
the unit may be left in the charger until the unit is used.
5. Periodically open the battery compartment on stored COMTEK units to
check for battery leakage. If a battery is leaking, it must be discarded,
and the battery compartment must be cleaned or returned to COMTEK’s
service department for repairs.

M-169 AUXILIARY AUDIO INPUT OPERATION
Auxiliary Audio Input Operation
The M-169 transmitter may transmit a variety of audio sources such as tape
and C.D. players, TV and VCR’s, or any audio device having an auxiliary or
line level audio output.
The auxiliary input cable supplied with the M-169
transmitter (CB-36 ST) will operate with any device
having a mini 3.5 mm jack, stereo or mono, and
with line level or earphone level output.
To accommodate a variety of specialty
applications, auxiliary input cables
with RCA phono plug, 1/4” audio
phone plug, and XLR connectors are
available from COMTEK.
Setup
a. Connect the microphone
to the transmitter by
inserting the microphone
plug into the receptacle on
the top of the transmitter.
Note: The microphone
cord functions as part of the
transmitter’s antenna system
and must be in place for auxiliary
audio input operation. If microphone
function is not necessary, the optional microphone
switch should not be on for this operation.
PDA
b. Connect the proper auxiliary input cable to the audio source. Connect the
right-angle mini plug end of the auxiliary input cable in the “AUX” input
jack of the M-169 transmitter.
Note: Check to ensure that the audio source is a line level, earphone level,
or fixed AUX level output.

c. Turn on the transmitter with program from the audio source being fed to
the transmitter. Observe the audio “voice” level modulation indicator. A full
bright LED indicates full audio compression at 100% modulation. For best
performance, the audio input gain should be adjusted for some low level
LED luminescence during normal audio levels with occasional full bright
peaks indicating 100% modulation.
d. When using the auxiliary audio input with the microphone plugged into
the transmitter, priority should be given to the microphone gain adjustment.
The mixing balance between the auxiliary audio and the microphone should
be made with the volume control of the auxiliary audio source.
Note: The optional microphone switch only affects the
microphone. It does not affect the auxiliary audio input.

M-169 FREQUENCY SELECTION
Frequency Selection (169.445 - 171.905 MHz)
The M-169 transmitter can operate on eight FCC dedicated assigned
channels for wireless microphone operation under FCC Regulation Part 90.
These channels may be used in two groups of four channels for
multi-channel operation. (Refer to frequency charts on page 9.)
After you have determined the channel on which
you are going to operate, position the two rotary
switches to indicate the channel and the mode of
operation. The left rotary switch determines
mode of operation. Position “1” is for
COMTEK companded receivers. Position
“0” is for non-companded receivers of
different manufactures other than COMTEK.
The right rotary switch selects the frequency by
channel number (1-8). (Refer to frequency chart on page 9.)
Multiple Channel Operation
When multiple transmitters are broadcasting in the same immediate area
(within 100 feet), the RF signals will “mix” together generating additional
signals. If these product frequencies are too close to a frequency which you are
using, you will experience intermodulation interference. This condition is
common to all radio receivers to some extent.
Simultaneous operation of more than three channels requires frequency
coordination to avoid intermodulation interference which could result in
poor or unusable performance.
To avoid this type of interference, you should select frequencies from one
of the standard groups (see group frequency charts on page 9), or use COMTEK’s
frequency selection software available at www.comtek.com to determine appropriate
frequencies or contact COMTEK to obtain a free copy.
