4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1. Aġġustament tal-Qligħ tad-Dħul

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. Tqegħid Ottimali

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. Indikatur tal-Istatus tal-Batterija

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. Manutenzjoni

• Tindif: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the transmitter. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Kura tal-batterija: 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.
• Ħażna: Store the transmitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Kura tal-antenna: Handle the antenna with care. Avoid bending or stressing it excessively, as this can affect performance.
