Operating Notes; Powering Up The Receiver - Fender FWG 2020 Manual De Instrucciones

aligning the battery with the polarity symbols. If you insert the
battery the wrong way, the transmitter will not be powered.
3. Close the battery compartment cover (1).
• Alternatively to the supplied LR6 alkaline dry battery, you may use
an FR6 lithium battery or a commercial 1.2 V AA size (HR6), ≥2100
mAh rechargeable battery.
Connecting an instrument
Only use the supplied ITC3 instrument cable with the
Bodypack Transmitter.
i
Please note that Fender cannot guarantee that the
bodypack transmitter will work perfectly with products
from other manufacturers and any damage that may
result from such use is not covered by the Fender war-
ranty scheme.
i Refer to fig. 12 on page iv.
• Plug the mini XLR connector (1) on the ITC3 instrument cable (2)
into the audio input connector (3) on the bodypack transmitter.
Locking the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF Switch
i Refer to fig. 17 on page v.
1. Plug the supplied terminal connector (3) into the REMOTE MUTE
jack (2) on the bodypack transmitter. The ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF
switch on the bodypack transmitter is electronically locked. You
can not mute the transmitter unintentionally.
2. To unlock the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch, disconnect the terminal
connector (3) from the REMOTE MUTE jack (2).
Setting Input Gain
i Refer to fig. 12 on page iv.
1. (4) Open the battery compartment on the bodypack transmitter.
2. Play a few bars on your instrument (the louder the better).
3. (6) Use the integrated screwdriver (6) on the battery compartment
cover (5) to set the gain control (7) to the point where the signal
will optimally drive the receiver's audio section (green AF OK LED
lit, Audio bar-graph indicating 0 dB on peaks).
4. (7) Close the battery compartment.
SILENT Mode
We recommend setting the carrier frequency in SILENT mode only
(radio transmission OFF).
• To engage SILENT mode, push the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" and
then to its center position. This is the only way to make sure you
won't go "on air" on a frequency that is not allocated or coordinat-
ed and risk "jamming" or interfering with some other RF device or
wireless system.
Selecting Battery Type
1. Switch power to the receiver on.
i Refer to fig. 4 on page iv.
2. Set the ON-MUTE/PRG-OFF switch (19) to "MUTE/PRG". The display
will alternately indicate the currently selected frequency and "PRG
IR".
3. In the "BAT.TYP" menu, select the battery type you inserted: "LR6",
"FR6", "HR6 (for NiMH rechargeable batteries) or "AUTO". In "AUTO"
mode, the transmitter automatically identifies the battery type.
i Refer to fig. 11 on page v.
4. Point the infrared sensor (1) on the transmitter at the infrared emit-
ter (2) on the receiver from a distance of 4 inches (10 cm) max. to
activate the selected mode.

3. OPERATING NOTES

Powering up the Receiver

i Refer to fig. 1 on page iii.
1. Press the front panel POWER key to switch power to the receiver
ON. The display will indicate the currently active frequency and
the "LOCK" label. The receiver is in LOCK mode.
If power to the transmitter is OFF or the RF level at the antennas is
zero for some other reason (e.g., shadow effects), the red RF MUTE
LED will be lit and the audio output will be muted. If the antennas
receive RF signal, the green RF OK LED will be lit, the RF bar-graph
will indicate the field strength of the signal received by the active
antenna, and the Diversity LEDs will indicate which antenna is cur-
rently active. The audio bar-graph indicates the audio level of the
received signal. The red AF CLIP LED will flash to indicate audio
signal clipping.
2. If you have assigned a NAME to the receiver, powering the receiver
up will cause the display to indicate the current frequency setting
for 2 seconds and then change to the assigned name.
Powering the Transmitters
• You can power the bodypack transmitter with a standard AA size
alkaline battery (LR6), an AA size lithium battery (FR6), or a 1.2 V
rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2100 mAh or higher. If you
are using a new or a fully charged rechargeable battery the trans-
mitter automatically identifies the type of battery and displays
the minimal remaining capacity in hours. Approximately 1 hour
before the battery will be dead the "LOW BAT" warning appears at
the receiver and the back-lighting turns red.
