Putting the radio microphone into operation  
Putting the radio microphone into  
operation  
Inserting, removing and changing the  
power pack  
For powering the radio microphone, you can either use the Sennheiser  
B 5000-2 battery box (1.5 V AA size batteries) or the rechargeable  
Sennheiser BA 5000-2 battery pack. For regular use, we recommend using  
the environmentally friendly rechargeable BA 5000-2 battery pack.  
For battery pack operation of the radio microphone, only use the  
BA 5000-2 battery pack in order to ensure optimum operational  
reliability. Batteries and rechargeable battery cells have different  
discharging curves. The radio microphone is able to identify the  
BA 5000-2 battery pack and to use its capacity to the full. Individual  
rechargeable battery cells in the B 5000-2 battery box will not be  
identified as battery packs.  
Inserting the power pack  
̈
̈
Open the locking mechanism ¿ by  
moving it in the direction of the arrow.  
Insert the power pack into the radio  
microphone.  
¿
̈
̈
Push the power pack towards the  
microphone head.  
¿
Close the locking mechanism ¿ by  
moving it in the direction of the arrow.  
Removing the power pack  
̈
̈
Open the locking mechanism ¿ by  
moving it in the direction of the arrow.  
¿
Push the power pack towards the  
antenna.  
You can now remove the power pack.

Putting the radio microphone into operation  
After you have changed the power pack, the radio microphone  
continues operating on exactly the same settings as before the  
change. Stored settings are retained in memory on switch-off.  
Inserting batteries into the B 5000-2 battery box  
̈
̈
̈
To open the battery box, push down the  
display section ¸ of the battery box ».  
¸
Insert the batteries. Observe correct  
polarity when inserting the batteries.  
Close the battery box.  
¸

capacity.  
If the battery capacity is too low (LOW  
BATT), the last segment starts flashing  
and the batteries must be changed.  
LOW BATT  
Recharging the BA 5000-2 battery pack  
Before using the BA 5000-2 battery pack (see “ Accessories” on page 30)  
for the first time or if you have not used it for several weeks, you must  
charge the battery pack completely.  
The L 50 charger (see “ Accessories” on page 30) can charge two  
BA 5000-2 battery packs simultaneously.  
10  
 
Putting the radio microphone into operation  
̈
Place the appropriate charging adapter ¹  
in the charging compartment Ƹ of the  
charger.  
̈
Insert the BA 5000-2 battery pack into the  
charging adapter ¹.  
¹
Charging time: approx. 2.5 hrs with the  
L 50 charger (dependent on the residual  
charge of the battery pack).  
Ƹ
The battery pack is carefully charged using the −ΔU-method. For  
further details, please refer to the user manual of the L 50 charger.  
LC display shown on the example of the BA 5000-2 battery pack  
6-step LC display for (remaining) battery  
pack capacity.  
Microprocessor-controlled electronics takes  
self-discharge of rechargeable cells into  
account.  
The maximum capacity of is reduced due  
to natural ageing of the cells. The  
BA 5000-2 battery pack measures the  
maximum capacity and therefore displays  
less than 100% capacity for older cells –  
even when they have been fully charged.

When setting frequencies on the radio microphone, please observe  
the following:  
̈
Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the  
enclosed frequency table and approved and legal in your  
country. If necessary, apply for an operating license.  
For an overview of the frequencies and transmission powers,  
refer to the enclosed supplement “Legal requirements for the  
use of radiomicrophones”.  
Selecting a channel – “CHAN”  
Via the “CHAN” menu, you can switch between the channels in the channel  
banks “FIX” and “VAR“. The radio microphone is not transmitting while  
this adjustment is being made.  
When changing to the setting mode of the “CHAN” menu, the current  
channel number appears on the display. After approx. 1 second, the  
currently assigned frequency is displayed.

the display panel for approx. 1 second and then the currently assigned  
frequency is displayed.  
Only after the new setting has been stored (“STORED” has appeared  
on the display panel) does the transmitter operate on the  
transmission frequency of the new channel.  
Selecting the frequencies to be stored in  
the channel bank “VAR” – “TUNE”  
Via the “TUNE” menu, you can freely select the frequencies to be stored in  
the channel bank “VAR” (variable bank). The radio microphone is not  
transmitting while this adjustment is being made.  
23  
 
     
Adjustment tips for the operating menu  
When you have selected the channel bank “FIX” and then select the  
TUNE” menu, the radio microphone automatically switches to  
channel 01 of the channel bank “VAR” and “VAR” briefly appears on  
the display panel ².  
The transmission frequencies are tunable in 5-kHz steps within a switching  
bandwidth of 184 MHz max.  
When operating a multi-channel system, make sure to only use  
intermodulation-free frequencies.  
There are two options for setting the frequencies:  
You can set a new frequency for the selected channel:

Adjustment tips for the operating menu  
Adjusting the microphone sensitivity –  
ATTEN”  
Via the “ATTEN” menu, you can adjust the radio microphone’s sensitivity  
by changing its input attenuation.  
The input attenuation is correctly adjusted  
when the level display for audio signal “AF”  
shows full deflection only during the  
loudest passages. The input attenuation can  
be adjusted in 1-dB steps from –40 dB to 0 dB.  
RF  
AF  
dB  
The bargraph has a resolution of approx. 3 dB per segment with a  
display range of 45 dB.  
Adjusting the low-cut frequency –  
LOWCUT”  
To reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as engine, wind and rumble  
noise, you can activate a low-cut filter. The low-cut frequency can be set to  
190 Hz or 120 Hz.  
If you do not want to reduce low-frequency signal portions, select the  
setting “FLAT”.

Activating/deactivating the automatic  
lock mode – “LOCK”  
The radio microphone has an autolock function (automatic lock mode)  
that can be activated or deactivated via the “LOCK” menu. When the  
autolock function is activated, the lock mode is automatically activated  
10 seconds after pressing the last button. The lock mode protects the radio  
microphone from accidental programming. For daily use, we would  
recommend activating the autolock function.

Maintenance and care  
Adjusting the output power – “POWER”  
The radio microphone features switchable output power. With reduced  
output power, the operating time increases.  
In addition, you can also adjust the radio microphone to “Low  
Intermodulation mode” (“LoI”). By so doing, the radio microphone’s  
intermodulation performance is significantly improved, especially in multi-  
channel operation. In “Low Intermodulation mode”, the output power is  
reduced to 10 mW; the operating time will be about the same as using an  
output power of 50 mW.  
Displaying the software revision – “SW--REV”  
You can display the current software revision of the radio microphone by  
calling up the “SW--REV” menu item.  
Exiting the operating menu – “EXIT”  
Via the “EXIT” menu, you can exit the operating menu and return to the  
standard display.  
When in the operating menu, briefly pressing the ON/OFF button º will  
cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display  
without saving any changes.  
Maintenance and care  
CAUTION!  
Liquids can damage the electronics of the radio  
microphone!  
Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a  
short-circuit and damage the electronics.  
̈ Keep all liquids away from the radio microphone.  
̈
̈
Use a cloth to clean the radio microphone from time to time.  
Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.
