1 Safety and
Environment
1.1 Safety
1. Do not expose the equipment to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, moi-
sture, rain, mechanical vibrations, or
shock.
1.2 Environment
1. The AC adapter will draw a small
amount of current even when the
equipment is switched off. To save
energy, disconnect the AC adapter
from the power outlet if you will leave
the equipment unused for a long peri-
od of time.
2. When scrapping the equipment,
separate the case, circuit boards,
and cables, and dispose of all com-
ponents in accordance with local
waste disposal rules.

FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Parts 74, 15,
and 90 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation. This equipment gene-
rates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded cables and I/O cords must be
used for this equipment to comply with
the relevant FCC regulations.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved in writing by AKG Acoustics
may void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interfe-
rence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

2.1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an
AKG product. This Manual contains
important instructions for setting up and
operating your equipment. Please take a
few minutes to read the instructions
below carefully before operating the
equipment. Please keep the Manual for
future reference. Have fun and impress
your audience!
2.2 Unpacking
Check that the packaging
contains all of the com-
ponents listed above. Should
anything be missing, please
contact your AKG dealer.
2.3 Optional Accessories
• CU 40 charger
• Custom versions of AKG
headphones with .1-in. jack
plug. (On request – K 10

2.4 Description
The PR 40 is a portable diversity receiver
for use with all AKG WMS 40 Series
transmitters (HT 40, PT 40, GB 40, MP
40, SO 40). The supplied Velcro strip
allows you to mount the receiver on a
mixer, pedalboard (to give effect-loving
guitarists more room to move), or a
video camera for ENG use.
Thanks to its compact dimensions and
convenient belt clip, the PR 40 is an
excellent receiver for tour guide and
small interpretation systems.
A preset squelch will mute the receiver if
the received signal is too weak so the
related noise or the self-noise of the
receiver will not become audible when
the transmitter is switched OFF.
The PR 40 operates on one fixed, quartz
stabilized frequency in the 710 MHz to
865 MHz UHF carrier frequency range
and uses two folding UHF antennas. The
color of the volume control indicates the
receiving frequency. The type plate on
the receiver rear panel provides detailed
frequency information.

Important: To avoid overloading the
headphone amplifier, do not con-
nect headphones with an imped-
ance lower than 16 Ωto the head-
phone output.
Volume control: Sets the volume
level of the headphone output (2).
The color of the volume control knob
indicates the receiving frequency of
your receiver.
RF LED: Indicates the field strength
of the received signal:

strength.
LED lighting red: field strength is
zero (the transmitter is OFF or the
receiver has been set to a different
channel than the transmitter) or the
received signal is muted because the
squelch is engaged.
LED does not light: power to the
receiver is OFF, no batteries are in the
battery compartment, or the batteries
are dead.

the BATT LED (4) illuminates red, the
batteries will be dead within about 60
minutes. Replace the batteries with
new ones as soon as possible.
If the BATT LED (4) fails to illuminate
the batteries are dead. Insert new
batteries.

3.3 Using Rechargeable Batteries
(Fig. 4)
Instead of dry batteries, you can also
use two 1.5 V rechargeable batteries to
power the receiver. We recommend
SANYO HR-4U (650 mAh) or Panasonic
Rechargeable PRO+ (550 mAh) NiMH
rechargeable batteries.
To charge the batteries, insert the receiv-
er (1) into the optional CU 40 charger (2)
as shown in fig. 4.
Important: Before placing the receiver
in the charger, switch the receiver
OFF and fold the antennas all the
way down, against the side panels
of the receiver. With the antennas
folded down, it will be easier to
center the receiver inside the char-
ging compartment and the charger
will be less prone to be knocked
over.
For details on charging batteries, refer to
the CU 40 charger manual.
4 Applications
4.1 Mounting the Receiver
on a Mixer, Pedalboard, or
Video Camera
1. Press the ends of the belt clip inward
as shown in fig. 5 and remove the
belt clip.
2. Cut two 2-inch lengths off the sup-
plied Velcro strip.
3. Remove the backing from one of the
