Battery Status LED Indicator

The Power/Function LED on the top

panel will mirror the keypad LED un-

less the programmable switch is set

to Mute, and the switch is turned on.

Alkaline, lithium or rechargeable

batteries can be used to power the

transmitter. The type of batteries in

use are selectable in a menu on the

LCD.

When alkaline or lithium batteries

are being used, the LED labeled

BATT on the keypad glows green

when the batteries are good. The

color changes to red at a mid-point

of the runtime. When the LED be-

gins to blink red, there will be only a

few minutes of operation remaining.

The exact point at which the LEDs

turn red will vary with battery brand

and condition, temperature and

power consumption. The LEDs are

intended to simply catch your atten-

tion, not to be an exact indicator of

remaining time.

A weak battery will sometimes

cause the Power LED to glow green

immediately after the transmitter is

turned on, but it will soon discharge

to the point where it will turn red or

the unit will turn off completely.

Rechargeable batteries give little or

no warning when they are depleted.

If you wish to use these batteries in

the transmitter, the most accurate

way to determine runtime status is

by testing the time provided by a

particular battery brand and type,

then using the BatTime function to

determine remaining runtime.

Belt Clips

The wire belt clip may be removed

by pulling the ends out of the holes

in the sides of the case. Be sure to

have a ﬁrm grip to avoid scratching

the surface of the housing.

An optional spring-loaded, hinged

belt clip (model number BCSLEBN)

is also available. This clip is at-

tached by removing the plastic hole

cap on the back of the housing and

mounting the clip with the supplied

screw.

IR (infrared) Port

The IR port is available on the top of

the transmitter for quick setup using

a receiver with this function avail-

able. IR Sync will transfer the set-

tings for frequency from the receiver

to the transmitter.

Status LED

Blue LED indicates ready status.

Remote Function

In the Setup Menu, choose to turn

remote function on/off. The “dweedle

tone” remote control is turned on or

off with the Remote Menu, setting

the transmitter to react to tones

received (Enable) or to Ignore the

tones.

Battery Installation

The transmitter is powered by two

AA batteries. Lithium batteries are

recommended for longest life.

The battery status circuitry compen-

sates for the difference in voltage

drop between alkaline and lithium

batteries across their usable life, so

it’s important to select the correct

battery type in the menu.

Because rechargeable batteries

run down quite abruptly, using the

Power LED to verify battery status

will not be reliable. However, it is

possible to track battery status us-

ing the battery timer function avail-

able in the receiver.

Push outward on the battery com-

partment door and lift it to open.

Slide door outward,

then lift up to open

Insert the batteries according to the

markings on the back of the hous-

ing.

If the batteries are inserted incor-

rectly, the door will close but the unit

will not operate.

The battery contacts can be

cleaned with alcohol and a cotton

swab, or a clean pencil eraser. Be

sure not to leave any remnants of

the cotton swab or eraser crumbs

inside the compartment.

Spring contacts

Optional Battery Eliminator

The transmitter can be powered

by external DC using the optional

LTBATELIM power supply adapter.

LECTROSONICS, INC.8

Quick Start

1) Install good batteries and turn

power on (see page 4).

2) Set compatibility mode to

match the receiver (see page

8).

3) Connect signal source, select

input type and adjust input

gain for optimum modulation

level (see pages 8 and 9).

4) Set or sync frequency to match

receiver (see page 9). Also see

receiver manual for scanning

procedure.

5) Set encryption key type and

sync with receiver (see pages

10 and 11).

6) Set programmable switch to de-

sired function (see page 11).

7) Verify RF and audio signals are

present at the receiver (see

receiver manual).

ate with different receivers:

Input Menu

Adjusting the Input Gain for

Analog Inputs

For analog gain adjustment, two

multi-color LEDs on the top panel,

one for each channel, provide a

visual indication of the audio signal

level entering the transmitter. The

LEDs will glow either red or green to

indicate modulation levels as shown

in the following table.

Signal Level CH1 CH2

Less than -20 dB Off Off

-20 dB to +0 dB Green Green

+0 dB and greater Red Green

NOTE: This procedure is used

for analog inputs only. AES

digital input is factory set at

the industry standard level.

The LEDs on the top panel will

glow blue when the audio level

reaches about -40 FS.

It is best to go through the following

procedure with the transmitter in the

standby mode so that no audio will

enter the sound system or recorder

during adjustment.

1) With fresh batteries in the

transmitter, power the unit on in

the standby mode (see previ-

ous section Powering On in

Standby Mode).

2) Navigate to the Gain setup

screen.

3) Position a microphone the way it

will be used in actual operation

and have the user speak or sing

at the loudest level that occur

during use, or set the output

level of the audio device to the

maximum level that will be used.

4) Use the and arrow buttons

to adjust the gain until the LED

glows green most or all of the

time, and ﬂicker red during the

loudest peaks.

www.lectrosonics.com 9

5) Turn the recorder or sound sys-

tem gain down before setting

the transmitter to the normal

operating mode and enabling

the audio output.

6) If the audio output level of the

receiver is too high or low,

use only the controls on the

receiver to make adjustments.

Always leave the transmitter

gain adjustment set according

to these instructions, and do

not change it to adjust the au-

dio output level of the receiver.

Selecting Input Type

AES digital or analog audio input is

selected with the InType menu item.

With the AES selected, there are no

additional settings needed for the

input. Analog input conﬁguration is

set with the InpCfg1 and InpCfg2

menu items.

Selecting M2R Receiver

Functions

The M2R Receiver includes a Flex-

List™ mode where up to 16 mixes

can be accessed by name. This

feature enables a user to quickly

ﬁnd and listen to any of the perform-

er’s mixes on the stage. The mix

includes the name, frequency, mixer

settings and limiter settings. The

mix is easily shared via the M2R IR

port, added to the list of 16 mixes

and stored until cleared by the user.

The M2R allows the user to toggle

between the mixes, making trouble-

shooting issues easy and efﬁcient.

The DCHT, DCHT/E01’s M2R func-

tions create an easy interface with

the FlexList feature. The following

options are available:

GetFrq

Sync to receive (get) frequency from

the M2R transmitter via the IR port

SendFrq

Sync to send frequency to the M2R

transmitter via the IR port

Sync to receive (get) all available

settings from the M2R transmitter

via the IR port, including the per-

former’s name, (or whatever name

the user chooses for the DCHT,

DCHT/E01), frequency, mixer set-

tings and limiter settings.

NOTE: The GetAll function is

designed for trouble shooting and

allows for settings to be cloned to

transfer to another receiver if there

is a problem to be identiﬁed. Not all

copied settings are available on the

DCHT, DCHT/E01.

SendAll

Sync to send all available settings to

the M2R transmitter via the IR port,

including the performer’s name, (or

whatever name the user chooses for

the DCHT, DCHT/E01), frequency,

mixer settings and limiter settings.

NOTE: The SendAll function is

designed for trouble shooting and

allows for settings to be cloned to

transfer to another receiver if there

is a problem to be identiﬁed. Not all

Encryption Key Management

KeyType

The DCHT has four options for

encryption keys:

• Universal: This is the most con-

venient encryption option avail-

able. All encryption-capable

Lectrosonics transmitters and

receivers contain the Universal

Key. The key does not have

to be generated by the DCHT.

Simply set a Lectrosonics

encryption-capable receiver

and the DCHT to Universal,

and the encryption is in place.

This allows for convenient

encryption amongst multiple

transmitters and receivers, but

not as secure as creating a

unique key.

NOTE: When the DCHT is

set to Universal Encryption

Key, Make Key, Wipe Key and

Share Key will not appear in

the menu.
