Enable/Disable Remote Control Functions

To enable the transmitter to respond to signals from 

the RM remote control unit, use the UP and DOWN 

arrow buttons to select 

rc on on the setup screen. To 

disable this function, select 

rc oFF.

If a remote control signal is detected but the function is 

turned off, the message 

rc oFF will be displayed briefly 

on the transmitter’s LCD to confirm that a valid signal 

was received, but that the transmitter is not configured 

to respond to it. 
Refer to the section of this manual entitled 

RM Remote Control for details on the features and 

operation of the remote control.

Configuring for Power Restore

The second setup screen in this mode determines how 

the transmitter is powered up again after the batteries 

have become exhausted in normal operation the unit 

has shut down. 

PbAC 0 turns the power restore func-

tion off and 

PbAC 1 turns it on.

When this function is turned on, the unit will power 

up to normal operation with a brief press of the AU-

DIO and FREQ buttons after the batteries have been 

replaced.
When this function is turned off, the AUDIO and FREQ 

buttons need to be held in for the completion of the 

count to turn the unit back on for normal operation.
This is a unique behavior that takes place only when 

the batteries fail during operation. If the unit is turned 

off manually, a quick press of the buttons will turn it on 

in the “standby” mode instead.
The firmware is written this way because the battery 

caps make contact with the battery before the cap 

is seated, and the fact that there are two separate 

battery caps to tighten. This allows both batteries to 

be installed and the caps tightened before power is 

restored. It also makes turning the unit back on easier 

when wearing gloves since the buttons do not need to 

the held in.

Preventing Corrosion

Whenever the transmitter has been exposed to mois-

ture or perspiration, follow the instructions below to 

minimize the risk of corrosion.

DRY THE UNIT BEFORE REMOVING THE MICRO-

PHONE CONNECTOR OR BATTERY CAPS

.

If the transmitter has been exposed to salt water, rinse 

it with fresh water and then dry it thoroughly with a 

clean paper towel or cloth.
Dry the exterior of the transmitter with a clean paper 

towel or cloth. Remove all moisture around the battery 

caps and microphone cable connector.
After removing the battery caps and microphone con-

nector, wipe off any residual moisture around the bat-

tery compartment and microphone jack openings and 

on the battery caps and microphone connector.
The O-rings should be coated with Vaseline

®

 or an 

equivalent petroleum jelly* before each use to ensure 

the seals are watertight.

DO NOT USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PURE 

PETROLEUM JELLY TO LUBRICATE THE O-RINGS. 

Silicon-based lubricants will dissolve the O-rings.

Store the unit with no batteries installed, battery caps 

removed and the microphone disconnected. This will 

allow any buildup of humidity and moisture to evapo-

rate.
