3. Opsætningsvejledning

3.1. Batteriinstallation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the CB288 Beltpack Transmitter.
2. Skub batterirummets dæksel op.
3. Insert two fresh AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Luk batterirummets dæksel forsvarligt.

Note: Always use fresh alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries for optimal performance and battery life. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period.

3.2. Connecting a Microphone or Instrument

1. Identify the Mini-XLR (P3) input connector on the top of the transmitter.
2. Connect your compatible Samson microphone (e.g., LM10, HS5) or instrument cable to this input. Ensure the connector clicks firmly into place.

3.3. Tænd/sluk

• To power on, press and hold the power button located on the top of the transmitter until the indicator light illuminates.
• For at slukke skal du trykke på tænd/sluk-knappen igen og holde den nede, indtil indikatorlampen slukker.

3.4. Frequency Selection and Pairing

The CB288 transmitter is pre-set to Band I, Channel A (518-542MHz). For proper operation, ensure your Concert 288 receiver is also set to the corresponding frequency band and channel.

• Refer to your Concert 288 receiver's manual for specific instructions on channel selection and pairing procedures.
• Typically, the receiver will have a scan function to find an available channel, and then a sync function (often via infrared) to pair with the transmitter.
• Once paired, the receiver will indicate a stable RF connection.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1. Justering af indgangsforstærkning

The CB288 features an adjustable input gain to optimize the audio level from your microphone or instrument before transmission. This helps prevent distortion and ensures a strong, clear signal.

1. With the transmitter powered on and connected to your audio source, speak into the microphone or play your instrument at your typical performance level.
2. Locate the gain adjustment control (usually a small trim pot) on the transmitter. You may need a small screwdriver or a similar tool to adjust it.
3. Monitor the audio level on your Concert 288 receiver. Adjust the gain control on the transmitter until the receiver's audio level indicator shows a strong signal without clipping (peaking into the red).
4. A good starting point is to set the gain so that the peak audio levels on the receiver are consistently in the green or amber range, only occasionally touching the red.

4.2. Optimal placering

For best wireless performance, ensure the transmitter's antenna is not obstructed. Wear the beltpack on your hip or in a position where the antenna has a clear line of sight to the receiver whenever possible. Avoid placing the transmitter directly against metal objects or large body masses that could block the signal.

4.3. Batteristatusindikator

The CB288 Beltpack Transmitter includes an LED indicator that displays battery status. A solid green light typically indicates sufficient battery power. A flashing or red light indicates low battery, and batteries should be replaced soon.

5. Vedligeholdelse

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the transmitter. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Batteripleje: Always remove batteries from the transmitter if it will not be used for an extended period (e.g., more than a few weeks) to prevent leakage and damage.
• Opbevaring: Store the transmitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Antennepleje: Handle the antenna with care. Avoid bending or stressing it excessively, as this can affect performance.
