4 Setting into Operation

4.1 Power supply

For power supply, two 1.5V batteries of size AA are required. When the status indicator (4, 15) lights up or starts flashing in red, the batteries are discharged and must be replaced.

• Only insert batteries of the same type and always replace both of them.

• If the transmitter / receiver is not used for a longer period of time, always remove the batteries so that the transmitter / receiver will not be damaged in case the batteries should leak.

1) To open the battery compartment, slide down the cover on the rear side.
2) Insert the batteries with the positive and negative poles as indicated in the battery compartment.
3) Close the battery compartment.

Instead of non-rechargeable batteries, it is also possible to insert two rechargeable NiMH batteries of size AA. To charge these batteries, the chargers ATS-85PS, ATS-825C and ATS-850PS are ideally suited: Leave the batteries in the unit and insert the unit into a charging slot. Power is supplied via the contacts at the lower end of the unit.

Never put batteries in the household waste. Always dispose of the batteries in accordance with local regulations.

4.2 Selecting the operating mode

Three operating modes are available.

Guiding: The leader of the group uses the transmitter and can talk freely to the group members who are supplied with a receiver each. One member of the group [the one who presses the talk button (20) first] can also talk and ask a question, for example.

Teaching (factory setting): In addition to the leader of the group, an assistant supplied with a transmitter can talk to all members of the group or a member of the group can talk and ask a question, for example.

Discussing: Two members of the group (each of them supplied with a transmitter) can talk freely; all other members (supplied with a receiver) can only listen.

4.4 Creating a group of a transmitter and receivers

When a group consisting of a transmitter and all receivers is created, the following additional features will be available:

1. Presence check: By the press of a button, the group leader can check how many receivers are switched on and thus if all members of the group are present.
2. Call signal: By the press of a button, the leader of the group can send a signal to all members (e.g. to ask the group members to gather).
3. When a group member leaves the reception range, a warning signal will sound at the corresponding receiver.

To create a group:

1) Switch off the transmitter and all receivers.
2) Set the selector switch "s / m" (5) on the transmitter to the position "m".
3) Keep the red call button (11) and the button 9 pressed to switch on the transmitter. On the left side of the display, a chain symbol will be shown; on the right side, the channel number will start flashing.
4) Use the buttons / (8) to select the transmission channel and then press the button to confirm your selection or wait for 5 seconds. The status indicator (4) will flash rapidly; the group creation function has been activated.
