Select the INPUT to Match your Input Type INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE OR SELECT 2 Select GUI or MIC: Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select your desired input (GUI or MIC).

Select INPUT function: Push the transmitter's SELECT button to scroll through functions until the current setting of MIC (microphone) or GUI (instrument) appears in the transmitter LCD. NOTE Electric Guitar & Bass: For best results, put your receiver's FBX Feedback Exterminator into BYPASS mode. BYPASS is accessible via the receiver front panel or Remote Software control. LOW CUT Filter: The default Low Cut Filter setting for Microphone input (MIC) is 75 (12 dB/octave low frequency roll-off filter starting at 75 Hz). The default Low Cut Filter setting for Instrument input (GUI) is 0 (filter off). These settings can be changed. See #3 Low Cut Filters. Adjust PAD Settings to Match your Input Level 2 As in all audio equipment, the setting of the input level is crucial to achieving the best sound quality. Setting minimal PAD levels (-3, -6, or -10 dB) may produce a distorted sound if you are using a high output microphone or instrument. Conversely, setting a more extreme PAD level (-40, -37, or -34 dB) may require you to raise your system gain unnecessarily, resulting in a noisier output. Watch the input meter on either the transmitter or the receiver (see illustrations) and set your level so there are at least three indicators illuminated for normal program level, with an occasional move to the fourth indicator. The fifth and biggest indicator denotes clipping ­ watch out! If you see clipping, choose a lower pad setting (for example, from -10 to -14 dB).

Important Battery Information Your Sabine 2.4 GHz beltpack transmitter (SW70-T) comes with two size AA rechargeable NiMH batteries. For best results, charge the battery for at least 8 hours before using it for the first time. Please note that the full charging potential of the battery will be achieved after the first 5 charging cycles have been completed. These rechargeable NiMH batteries are highly resistant to the "memory effect," which affects some rechargeable batteries. The included batteries will provide more lifetime charges and longer battery life for each charge than many rechargeable batteries.
