Two Views, Two Sets of ControlsThe default main screen ap-pears as shown in figure 13c.The top portion of the screen (above the “Active Channels” bar and two arrow buttons) is the Command View, showing details and allowing parameter adjustments for a single re-ceiver channel at a time. The bottom portion (below “Active Channels”) is the All Channel View, capable of si-multaneously showing the most important (but less detailed) in-formation for multiple channels. Each audio (RF) channel in the system has its own display box, arranged in rows of eight chan-nels each, organized in order to correspond to the string of receivers in the serial bus. If you have 8 or fewer RF chan-nels, both View Modes will fit on your monitor. For more than 8 channels, there are quick short-cuts for optimizing your display and switching and mixing View Modes:• Click and drag the Active Channel bar to pull the All Channel View up or down, partially or completely covering the Command View. You cursor will change to a hand icon.• Use the up/down arrows flanking “Active Channel” to scroll the rows dis-played in the space allocated to the All Channel View.• Click on the Command View or All Channel View button in the upper left menu bar (or use F2 and F3), to immediately change from one to the other.• To select a channel to edit in either view, left click on a channel in All Channel View (indicated by a red border around the selected channel). This displays the selected channel’s settings in the Command View. A right mouse click on a single channel shown in the All Channel View pops up a menu of parameters (see figure 13d). The value of the parameter selected is displayed in the All Channel View for each RF channel, and also pops up an adjustment screen for the selected channel. You can review and compare settings on all channels, one parameter at a time, and adjust any setting on any unit from the All Channel View.• Parameter adjustments in the Command View can be made by clicking and turning any knob; or by a right-clicking on a parameter to pop up an adjustment window, and keying in a value.13.4.2. Menus, Icons & Hot KeysQuick access to the features described above, plus some additional software control, is available from four pull-down menus (File, Select Receiver, Options, and RF Scan) and five icons (FBX, Lock, Command View, All Channel View, and RF Scan) at the top of the screen. The controls associated with the five icons can also be accessed using function keys F2 through F6, respectively. Figure 13e shows the location of the menus and icons, and describes associ-ated controls which are accessed.Remote Control OperationFig. 13d - All Channel View (after right-clicking and selecting Ratio).

As filters are set, they will conform to the global width chosen at the time of setting. It is thus possible to mix filter widths by changing the width value in between setting FBX filters. Maximum depth will be common to all FBX filters, and the value will update if the global setting is changed.Sensitivity and Persistence are controls that allow the speed and analysis of the FBX algorithm to match the type of audio program. Some audio programs, notably certain types of classical music, produce occasional waveforms that are difficult to distinguish from acoustic feedback. The factory default Sensitivity and Persistence values should work in almost all conditions; however, you may change them if necessary to prevent the possibility of triggering a false filter, or to more quickly set the FBX filters. There is a trade-off between speed of filter placement and how carefully the filter is placed. More demanding audio sources may require higher Sensitivity & Persistence settings, which will slightly slow down the speed of filter placement, but decrease any possibility of mistaking program audio for feedback.FBX Dynamic Filter Time Out This function gives each dynamic filter a time limit, after which the filter automatically resets. A setting of “zero” disables the timer.13.4.2.2. Lock (F5)You can customize the mix of functions that will be locked when choosing Front Panel Lock 2 (figure 13g). Front Panel Locking can only be activated using the Dip Switches on the receiver back panel. See Appendix D for more information.13.4.2.3.

46Sabine Smart Spectrum® Wireless© 2009 Sabine, Inc.13.4.2.5. RF Scan (F6)Use the RF scan to get a “picture” of the potential RF interference in your location. You should perform a scan before every program so you can see the ambient RF levels on all 70 channels of your system. Caution: The RF Scan mutes and takes control of the selected channel. All other functions are disabled on the selected channel. Do not perform an RF scan on a channel you need during your program!Select RF Scan by using the toolbar button, the F6 hot key, or the RF Scan menu item. You will see the screen shown in Figure 13i. Select Single Scan or Continuous Scan if you want to look at the RF levels over time. The software will take control of the selected receiver, and will step through all 70 chan-nels. You can control the speed of the scan using the Dwell Time adjustment.Scan results are shown in several ways. A double green line indicates a Sabine transmitter is active on the associated channel. Each green line shows RF signal levels for left and right antennas respectively. This RF Diversity function is especially useful for antenna positioning when using distribution amp. A red line indicates ambient RF is present on the chan-nel, at a level indicated by the scale on the left side of the chart. A dotted red line indicates a previous RF level from an earlier scan, and a small yellow “T” indicates the peak RF level observed over the entire time. Left click on any line or channel number brings up the “RF Scan data history” window, allowing you to disable the specific channel (figure 13J). If you chose Continuous Scan you can also choose to see the Channel Details (figure 13k) and a history of all RF activity on a particular channel for the duration of the Continuous Scan (figure 13k).Channels with very low RF signals (below -70 dBm) should be considered open channels. We include this low level measurement so you can see the activity in your location, but the Sabine transmitters will overpower and ignore those very low signals.You can choose to disable all channels with ambient RF levels above a selectable threshold. Click and drag the dotted horizontal purple line to change the threshold (figure 13i). Choose Block Channels to dis-able channels above the threshold. These channels will no longer be available when selecting RF chan-nels from the front panel of the receiver.

Tips for Maximum Performance• Keep a clear and unobstructed path between transmitter and receiver.• Position receiver antennas at least one meter off the performance floor level.• Avoid placing receiver antennas near large metallic or other dense materials.• Keep receiver antennas away from RF signal generating equipment (computers, high-voltage equipment, etc.).• Position dipole antennas perpendicular to each other.• Use a Sabine Antenna Distribution System (SWA6SS) for multiple system installation.• Return transmitters to a charger when not in use.• Use a Sabine SWASS-EXT Extension Antenna to extend range and/or improve recep-tion.14.2. TroubleshootingProblem: Receiver and transmitter power are on, receiver RF Signal meters and Input Level meters are lighting up, but there is no sound from system.Solution: Check connection between receiver and mixer/amp. Adjust receiver Output Level control. Check for MUTE status in Remote Control Software. Make sure RF scan-ner is OFF.Problem: Receiver and transmitter power are on, but receiver RF Signal meters and Input Level meters are not lighting up.Solution: Check transmitter On/Battery Indicator. Recharge transmitter if necessary. Check transmitter and receiver frequency Channel settings (make sure they match). Check receiver antenna connections. Check distance between transmitter and receiver antennas and possible obstructions in path.Problem: Transmitter is on, but sound is noisy.Solution: Check transmitter On/Battery Indicator. Replace weak battery with fresh battery from charger unit if necessary. Check for other sources of RF interference (high voltage equipment, lighting equipment, etc.). Check distance between transmitters and receiver antennas.Problem: Transmitter is off, but noise still coming from receiver.Solution: Check for other sources of RF interference (high voltage equipment, lighting equip-ment, trolley cars, etc.). Select another frequency. Check connection and position of the receiver antennas. Utilize a Sabine Extension Antenna.Problem: Noise or humming.Solution: Check for fluorescent lights — bad ballasts may cause noise or hum in your sys-tem.Problem: Ticking sounds, interference, dropouts, or reduced distance?Solution: First, try another channel at least 10 channels away from the one you are trying. Keep moving the channel selection until you find an RF channel with better perfor-mance. Or, better yet, use the included SWM Remote Software to perform an RF scan which will clearly display available clear channels. If symptoms persist, check antenna orientation on the receiver and make sure the antennas are mounted on the side facing the transmitters (front or rear). Check your RF Scan and make sure the RF levels of both antennas are ap-proximately equal when displaying a Sabine transmitter. If the levels are radically different, then you may not have true diversity. In this case, check your antenna connections for a bad cable or connector. Are there any wireless local area networks (LAN) in the vicinity? Are there any microwave ovens in the vicinity? Try turning these items off and see it the problem persists. Your scan should also expose potential interference from these items. Choose channels without potential interference.Problem: “ERROR 1” message displays on receiver:Solution: Make sure that the #1 dip switch (located on the rear panel of the receiver) is in the down (OFF) position. See page 55 for a complete chart of DIP switch settings.Tips & Troubleshooting
49 Sabine Smart Spectrum® WirelessLIT-SWM6-7000-OG-EN-090215.indd - rr© 2009 Sabine, Inc.14.3. Common Sources of RF InterferenceThe typical sources of interference for conventional wireless mics can be high-powered broadcasters such as radio stations and TV transmitters, or other short-range wireless devices, including multiple radio microphones operating at the same location (either by design, or by coincidence), that operate in proximate (or harmonically related) bands. Less commonly, interference may arise from spurious outputs emitted by electronic equipment (notably computers, printers, or similar devices with digital clocks), faulty electrical equipment, neon signs, dimmers and lighting controllers, and so forth. Many UHF and VHF mics are especially vulnerable because they share the RF spectrum with the very high-powered transmitters for television. The coming conversion to digital and high-definition broadcast will increase the problems for UHF and VHF. The 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz frequency band is not only well above the fundamental (nominal) transmission frequencies of such strong analog and digital broadcasts, but also high enough to escape interference problems occurring at the strong first harmonic of even the highest digital television broadcast. The band is ap-proved worldwide for a variety of uses, including such diverse transmitters as baby monitors, garage door openers, wireless LANs, amateur satellite, cordless telephones, etc. Compared to RF broadcast sources like television and radio stations, these low power devices produce very localized, short range interfer-ence; furthermore, many of the devices working in the 2.4 GHz range use spread spectrum transmission and reception. Both of these facts mean such uses of the RF spectrum are less likely to cause interference with, or suffer from interference from the use of, Sabine’s systems. 14.3.1 RF SourcesYour first step in checking for interference should be utilizing the Scan function in the SWM Remote Control Software. See Section 13.4.2.5 RF Scan for a complete discussion of the benefits of scanning, which will reveal any poten-tial RF sources in your location and allow you to make an informed choice of channels to use. The scanner can scan for long periods of time and will give you a report of RF activity over time for each of the 70 channels available on your Smart Spectrum system.1. Microwave ovensIn the vast majority of situations, interference from microwave ovens will not affect performance of your SWM series microphone systems. Since barriers such as walls work to block interference, a microwave oven will likely present a problem only when located in fairly close proximity within the same room as the wireless receiver (or reception antenna). See cau-tion below. Commercial quality microwave ovens present a bigger potential problem. They sweep over a wider band of frequencies than the limited band af-fected by consumer units, and use two magnetron tubes which alternate to avoid inactivity during a power cycle. Fortunately, Sabine systems are only affected by such ovens in close proximity to receiver antennas. That protection, plus the availability of 70 different RF channels to choose from, makes serious interference problems arising from microwave ovens avoidable and unlikely. See caution below. Tips & TroubleshootingAs a general precaution, keep 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, microwave ovens, WLAN antennas and 2.4 GHz wireless video camera transmitters twice the distance from your Sabine wireless microphone system antennas as that of your Sabine 2.4 GHz transmitters.Antenna Placement CautionCautions for 915 MHz?
50Sabine Smart Spectrum® Wireless© 2009 Sabine, Inc.2. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANS)These computer network devices allow computers to connect via wireless devices that act as both receivers and transmitters. These low-powered transceivers often have selectable channels and can utilize the entire 2.4 GHz band. In general, Sabine microphones should not be affected by these WLANS because their spread spectrum technology does not present a problem for the Sabine Smart SpectrumTM system. The Sabine wireless system will not interfere with the WLAN. See caution below.3. Cordless phonesThese home telephones broadcast at very low power and should not pres-ent interference problems for your Sabine wireless. This is especially true if the telephone uses spread spectrum technology. See caution below.4. Wireless Video CamerasCertain wireless video cameras (X10, for example) use the 2.4 GHz band. These devices are also very low power and, in general, should not pres-ent a problem when using the SWM system. See Section 5 Receiver Operation for methods of optimizing clear reception and minimizing interference. See caution below. In the event problems still arise, see Section 5 Receiver Operation for methods of optimizing clear reception and minimizing interference.Tips & TroubleshootingAs a general precaution, keep 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, microwave ovens, WLAN antennas and 2.4 GHz wireless video camera transmitters twice the distance from your Sabine wireless microphone system antennas as that of your Sabine 2.4 GHz transmitters.Antenna Placement Caution

Feedback is certainly the most pervasive challenge to the audio industry. The potential appearance of sudden, loud, out-of-control feedback is every sound engineer’s and musician’s nightmare. Unlike more subtle audio qual-ity problems or shortcomings, feedback is embarrassingly obvious — it disturbs the performer, the audience, and the technician, and can damage equipment and just generally ruin your day. Feedback is a potential problem in any amplified sound system that places a microphone or pickup in proximity to a loudspeaker. Poor acoustical conditions or misguided use by unsophisticated sound system operators only aggravate the situation. To make matters still worse, a non-Sabine variety of wireless microphone adds yet another level of feedback danger to the picture. Since feedback erupts whenever the distance, location, and gain relationships between a speaker and a microphone reach a critical combination, a mic that can move anywhere results in an ever changing potential for feedback. A step in the wrong direction may change a clear sound to a piercing shriek in less than a second. This enhanced potential for feedback with a wireless system gets worse if lavalier microphones are used. Such microphones are usually placed farther from the mouth than handheld or head set microphones, thus requiring more gain. Also, the polar pattern of a lavalier microphone is frequently omnidirectional. Thus, the likelihood of feedback increases, due to the microphone’s increased off-axis sensitivity to the sound emanating from the loudspeakers.The Sabine True Mobility® SWM wireless systems solve feedback problems by precise attenuation of very narrow bands of feedback-prone frequencies. The process is automatic, simple to use, adaptable to changing acoustical conditions and relationships, powerful in its application, and has minimal consequences to the audio fidelity of the signal. We call this automatic filter an FBX Feedback Exterminator® filter, or FBX filter for short.15.2. The Advantages of FBX Filters Before the invention of FBX, the most common device for controlling feedback was the 31-band graphic EQ. However, an FBX filter offers three distinct advan-tages over graphic filters. 1. First and most obvious is the automatic nature of FBX filters. When feedback occurs, FBX responds more quickly than even the most experienced engineer. Automatic FBX placement works even in the presence of audio program material, intelligently distinguishing feedback from music or speech.2. A second advantage is that FBX micro-filters are precisely placed anywhere feedback occurs (with 1 Hz resolution), while graphic EQ filters are limited to 31 fixed center points. An FBX filter represents a direct hit on feedback! In contrast, a graphic EQ filter can only approximate the exact frequency of the feedback, and the filter (or filters) with the closest center frequency must be pulled down. Such filters are deepest at their centers, and such imprecise attenuation takes a big (and unnecessary) chunk out of your sound (see Fig. 15a). 3. Increased clarity and gain-before-feedback are further accomplished by the third and most important advantage of FBX: Sabine’s micro-filters are ten times narrower than 31-band EQ filters. Using FBX micro-filters will return up to 90 percent of the power removed by EQ filters. Here’s a good place to make a very important distinction. Graphic EQ filters are typically called “1/3-octave,” but it’s important to understand that this term refers to the spacing of the filter centers (1/3-octave apart), and not the width of the filter (usually a full octave). Graphic filters thus overlap one another, and affect frequencies well above and below the center point frequency, including frequencies of adjacent bands. This makes graphic equalizers very practical tools for shaping sound “with broad strokes,” such as dialing in overall system EQ, but results in destructive audio quality overkill when they are used to eliminate feedback. A graphic equalizer would need more than 10,000 narrow-band sliders to be as precise and powerful as your FBX. -10 dB cut at 500, 630, 1K, 1.25K, 1.6K & 2K HzIf the graphic EQ really had 1/3 octave filter widths, the frequency response curve would vary 6 dB between sliders. This would ruin Graphic EQs usually use one-octave-wide overlapping filters that provide much smoother frequency response curves. Notice that the over-lapping filters add together to cut -16 dB when the sliders are only pulled down -10 dB.Fig. 15a What a Graphic EQ does to your ProgramFBX Theory & Practice
52Sabine Smart Spectrum® Wireless© 2009 Sabine, Inc.As an example of the power of FBX, figure 15b shows test results measured with a PA set up consisting of a microphone, mixer, FBX Feedback Extermina-tor®, power amp and two speakers. The system’s gain was first raised until the FBX removed nine feedback points. Next, the FBX was replaced with a graphic EQ. The EQ was adjusted while the system gain was raised to the same level achieved with the FBX. The frequency response curves of each device were then plotted and are compared in figure 15b. Note how much more of the pro-gram (the “good audio”) is eliminated using an EQ — whereas only feedback is eliminated using FBX filters. 15.3. Parametric Filters and FBXOf course, many savvy sound engineers, realizing the limitations of graphic equalizers in removing problem feedback, prefer to use a different type of equal-izer, called a parametric EQ, for such applications. If you’re one such audio engineer, you’ll be comforted to know that FBX filters share much in common with parametrics.Compared to graphic filters, parametrics allow more precise adjustments — spe-cifically, control of filter width, the amount of boost or cut, and the mid-band frequency of the filter. This greater precision, however, comes at a price, as para-metric filters are not nearly as intuitive or simple to use as graphic equalizers. Nothing, however, is easier to use than an FBX filter, which enjoys the precision of a parametric filter, yet deploys instantly and automatically whenever feedback is detected. Effectively, an FBX filter is a parametric filter set to a tenth-octave width, restricted to cut-only activity, and automatic in its choice of frequency band. If you want hands-on control, use the Sabine True Mobility® Remote Software to change FBX filters to parametrics, and tweak frequency, width, and depth to your liking.Sabine Constant Q FiltersIt is common to describe a filter’s quality factor, or “Q,” as the center frequency of the filter divided by the filter width (in Hertz) measured at the -3dB point. Filters that have the same Q, or width, at the -3dB point regardless of the filter’s cut or boost are called Constant Q filters (see Fig. 15b). Filters that get wider as the filter gets deeper are called Proportional Q filters (see Fig. 15c). Lately, however, the definition of Constant Q is becoming less distinct. Many equalizer manufacturers claim their equalizers have Constant Q filters, when in fact they get substantially wider as they get deeper. The only way to know for sure if the filters are truly Constant Q is to inspect their frequency response curves. Sabine FBX Filters are true Constant Q filters.Fig. 15b - Constant Q Filter Fig. 15c - Proportional FilterFBX Theory & Practice
53 Sabine Smart Spectrum® WirelessLIT-SWM6-7000-OG-EN-090215.indd - rr© 2009 Sabine, Inc.15.3.1. The FBX & True Mobility® Advantage After inventing FBX technology and refining it for over a decade, Sabine has brought our patented automatic feedback control to its fullest realization with the Sabine SWM True Mobility® wireless systems. Our latest advance in maintaining the highest quality audio signal is due to the placement of the signal processing in the input chain of the microphone signal. Many times signal processing (compression and equalization) is placed after the output stage of a mixer, meaning it is applied to a combination of inputs mixed together into one output and passed through the processor. Particularly in the case of equalization and feedback control, one consequence of such placement is that filtering appropriate to only one microphone may be applied to all mics in the same mix bus. In other words, unnecessary filtering may be applied to microphones that, due to variations in position and microphone characteristics, will feedback at a different set of frequencies. Although the filters are very transparent, why add filtering if you can avoid it? And why divide your processing power among multiple signals?Placing the filtering and other signal processing in the input signal path is a concept called Targeted Input Processing. It means each microphone so equipped will have customized, unique signal processing applied — and no unnecessary processing.With FBX technology, your microphone will finally sound loud enough, every-one in the audience will understand each word, and feedback will be far less likely to make an unwelcome and unexpected visit—and you’ll be comfortable knowing that protection is extended to anywhere a wireless microphone might be taken.14.3.2. FBX Fixed & Dynamic FiltersFBX filters come in two flavors, fixed and dynamic. Both operate automatically. There is no audible difference between fixed and dynamic filters in terms of sonic purity; the difference arises in their application.14.3.2.1. Fixed FBX FiltersOnce they set automatically (see Section 7 for information on setting fil-ters), fixed FBX filters will NOT change frequency. You can think of fixed filters as cures for problem frequencies (the “first-to-feedback” frequencies encountered during normal system operation), common to most locations in the room. 14.3.2.2. Dynamic FBX FiltersDynamic FBX filters also set automatically, but can change frequency, on a rotating basis, as the need arises. To help distinguish dynamic from fixed filters, consider the example of a speaker using a wireless lavalier microphone, who walks under a ceiling speaker for the first time. In so doing, he enters a location-specific feedback zone, where it’s possible that a problem frequency may have escaped detection and notching by a fixed filter. If all fixed filters have been deployed, a dynamic filter will be set automatically as soon as feedback appears, solving the problem. Great! But what happens when the speaker then moves away from the ceiling speaker, and close to a floor monitor? Feedback from the ceiling speaker is no longer a problem, but a new frequency starts to squeal. If all fixed and dynamic FBX filters are already set, a dynamic filter will change, to adjust to the new location. An FBX dynamic filter thus stands guard if new problem feedback arises after all available filters have been set, providing a deeper and more flexible level of protection against the dreaded surprise of feedback.Other than the ability to change frequency, a dynamic filter is equivalent to a fixed filter.Fig. 15d - FBX at Work: What FBX Gives Back to your ProgramFBX Theory & Practice
54Sabine Smart Spectrum® Wireless© 2009 Sabine, Inc.14.3.2.3. Balancing Fixed & Dynamic FiltersEach channel of your SWM wireless receiver offers a total of 10 FBX filters (combined fixed and dynamic), which can be used as needed to exterminate feedback. After years of experience and experimentation, Sabine has settled upon a default balance of 7 fixed and 3 dynamic filters, set at the factory. This default condition can be changed to 8 fixed and 2 dynamic, by changing a DIP switch on the back of your receiver (see Appendix D FBX Configuration DIP Switch), or to any configuration using the Remote Control software (see Section 13).If you follow setup instructions for setting FBX filters (see Section 7), your receiver will automatically exit SETUP mode (enter READY status) after all fixed filters, and the first dynamic filter, have set. In the default condition, this means you will have set eight filters (seven fixed and one dynamic), with two dynamic filters still unset and remaining on standby alert. If you wish to set fewer filters, press the READY button before SETUP automati-cally exits, after you have set enough filters to safely achieve your desired gain level. In that case, in the factory default condition, you will reserve three unset dynamic filters for standby.14.3.3. FBX Filter WidthSabine’s experience and testing with filters and sound quality along led us to decide upon a default FBX filter width of .10 (one-tenth) octave as the optimal notch width, able to eliminate feedback without affecting music programs. If, with all filters properly set, feedback is still a problem, FBX filters may be set to .20 (one-fifth) octave width. This wider filter setting will help to better eliminate feedback trouble areas, but may also affect music programs slightly. Therefore, the wider setting is generally considered to be appropriate where speech (less demanding than music) is the primary application of the Sabine Wireless system. You can globally change FBX filter width by repositioning a rear panel DIP switch, to change from .10 to .20 octave (see Appendix D FBX Configuration DIP Switch), or by adjusting filter width using the True MobilityTM Remote Software (which allows a range of widths from .01 to 1.0 octave). You may also mix filter widths, either by adjusting individual filter widths using the Remote Software, or by changing the DIP switch position during setup. The width of any set filter will always be determined by the position of the switch at the time the filter is created.14.3.4. Who Benefits from FBX?Virtually every sound system will be improved with the Sabine True Mobility® Wireless System. Singers and speakers who do not have sound technicians can now increase their monitor or house system volume so they can hear themselves clearly and with full fidelity, without worrying if their microphones will suddenly squeal if they move to the wrong place. Auditoriums and churches of all sizes will enjoy reliable feedback control. Ho-tels and conference centers around the world can offer meeting rooms with microphones that won’t howl during programs. The Sabine True Mobility® Wire-less System can be installed in theaters, schools, sports arenas, courtrooms, teleconferencing, intercoms or interactive remote classrooms — anywhere one or multiple microphones are used.FBX Theory & Practice

60Sabine Smart Spectrum® Wireless© 2009 Sabine, Inc.Appendix F: Battery Endurance Test (Typical)Appendices NiMH AA Battery (SWAA2, Typical)Appendix G: Changing Mic Capsules (SW70-H)Sabine’s Mic SuperModeling™ function requires a baseline characteristic for the capsule in use. Therefore, after changing capsules, you will need to “tell” the transmitter which capsule is now attached. NOTE: this is only necessary when the capsule is changed. Open the handheld mic’s battery door. While holding down the SELECT button, turn on the mic. Continue to hold the select button for about 3 seconds, then let go. One of the screens at right will appear in the transmitter LCD — showing the currently assigned capsule. Using the transmitter control up/down buttons, select the capsule you now have attached. Wait a few seconds until the LCD cycles through the transmitter firmware version numbers and returns to the default display (channel number). IMPORTANT: In order for the new capsule selection to be saved, you must now edit the RF channel selection. To do this, press the Select button, then use the up/down buttons to change the RF chan-nel. Wait a few seconds to allow the transmitter screen to return to the default display. NOTE: you can return to the original channel by repeating the channel selection process.

CAUTIONS & WARRANTYCautions & WarrantyCAUTION - Implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD devices:Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have Iow-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) that are unlikely to cause difficulty, especially if they are at least a few inches away. However, since a beltpack transmitter typically is placed against the body, Sabine suggests attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to an implanted medical device. Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.Japan 100 VACU.S./North America 120 VACContinental Europe 230 VACUnited Kingdom 240 VACAustralia 240 VACJapanese EMI Compliance StatementThe True Mobility is designed to operate from standard AC power.
