1-1. Introduction
The DLXA-002 is a wireless transmitter using Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technology. The OFDM
transmitter transfers data such as pictures, audio and etc. at a rate of 4 to
15 Mbps within 8MHz bandwidth in the Industrial, Scientific and
Medical  (ISM) band.  It consists of MPEG encoder, modulator  and RF
circuit. The DLXA-002 is docked onto a Sony Camcorder and works only
with the signal from Sony Camcorder.  The signal of the DLXA-002 is
received by the optional antenna and tuner/de-modulator.
1-2. Features

   Provides very stable RF link
   Excels in high multi-path environments
   Significantly outperforms the analog FM system
1-2-2. Mobility
   Omni-directional Antenna offers more shooting 
   flexibility due to stable RF link
1-2-3. Fast set up and ease of use
   Dockable to camcorder
   Compact transmitter
   Built-in MPEG-2 encoder/COFDM modulator/RF
   Eliminates triax cable usage
1-2-4. MPEG-2 Encoding
   High Picture Quality
1-2-5. Low Power Consumption
   One hour operation using BP-L60A battery

  Attaches a BP-L60A Battery Pack
②DC IN (DC power input) connector (XLR type,4-pin, 
male)
   The external DC is fed to the camcorder through DLXA-002.
The power switch of the camcorder and the DLXA-002 are managed
independently. The camcorder works even if the DXLA-002 is turned
off.
③DC-LINE switch
This switch turns the power to the DLXA-002 and off.

5. 1 Operations
Turn on
The DLXA-002 starts to operate when both DC-LINE 
switch and a camcorder power switch are turned on.
The last status memory
When the DLXA-002 is turned off, the status information on the 
LCD is stored and then stops to work.
Save & Load
The Configuration Window mode enables to save eight mode 
combinations as pre-set program, and to load them with ease.
