Thank you for choosing the Unite TP bodypack transmitter.
To ensure an optimum performance, we would like to give you
a brief introduction on how to use this bodypack transmitter.
The Unite TP bodypack transmitter was designed for barrier-
free use:
– raised symbols on the front operating buttons for the blind
– Braille on the side mute button for the blind
– compatible with the beyerdynamic induction loop for the
hard of hearing
For detailed operating instructions in your language, please
visit: www.beyerdynamic.com/unite
1. Safety instructions
General
• Please READ this user manual before the first use.
• Please KEEP this user manual.
• Please FOLLOW the specified operating and safety
instructions.
Disclaimer
• beyerdynamic GmbH & o. KG will not be liable for any
damage to the product or injury to persons caused by
negligent, improper, incorrect or inappropriate operation of
the product.
Danger to life
• lip-on microphones can be very small. There is a risk of
suffocation if accidentally swallowed. Therefore, keep such
microphones out of the reach of children.

english
Unite TP – Bodypack Transmitter 5
• The supplied strap is only used for wearing the device
around the neck. If it is not used correctly, the risk of
strangulation may occur.
Volume
• When using headphones/headsets, make sure that the
volume is set to minimum. Adjust the volume only after
putting on the headphones/headset.
Too high volumes and too long listening times can damage
your hearing. Hearing damage always represents an irrever-
sible impairment of hearing.
• Always pay attention to the volume. As a rule of thumb, the
higher the volume, the shorter the listening time. By law,
the maximum allowed value is 85 dB at a maximum
listening time of 8 hours.
• Temporary symptoms that you have been exposed to loud
noise are:
– ringing or whistling in the ears
– high tones can no longer be perceived
Troubleshooting / repairs
• Never open the device yourself.
• Refer all service work to authorised professionals only.
Cleaning
• Only clean the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Never use solvents, as these will damage the surface.
Rechargeable battery
• The bodypack transmitter is operated with the following
battery type: BAT-3707, lithium-ion, 3.7 V, 1.88 Ah,
6.96 Wh (order # 727.679)

• Use only a USB 2.0/3.0 compliant 5V power supply to
charge the battery pack via the integrated USB type- port
(power consumption is max. 500 mA).
• High temperatures, particularly in association with a high
charging status, result in irreversible damage of the battery
pack.
• If you are not intending to use the battery for an extended
period or are planning to put it into storage, it is advisable
to lower the battery’s charging level to around 50% and to
store it at temperatures of maximum 30 ° .
• In order to ensure safe transport by land, sea and air, the
battery pack used for the bodypack transmitter is tested ac-
cording to the UN 38.3 transport regulation for lithium-ion
batteries.
• Misuse or improper use could damage the battery pack. In
extreme cases, there is a risk of explosion, heat, fire, smoke
or gas.
• Never expose the battery pack to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not expose the battery pack to mechanical shock.
• harge the battery pack before initial use.
• Use the specified chargers for charging the battery pack.
• Avoid complete draining of the battery. This could damage
the battery and shorten its service life.
• If you do not use the transmitter for several months, the
batteries should be charged at least twice a year to prevent
deterioration in performance due to self-discharge.
• lean the charging contacts of the transmitter with a clean
dry cloth, if they become dirty.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.

english
Unite TP – Bodypack Transmitter 7
• The charging contacts could cause property damage, injuries
or fire damage if they come into contact with conductive
materials such as jewellery, keys or chains. This can lead to
a closed electric circuit and, therefore, to the material
overheating. To avoid this kind of unintentional electric
circuit, the charging contacts must be handled with care.
This is especially important if the transmitter is transported
in a bag or another container containing other metallic
objects.
Moisture / heat sources
• Keep the battery pack clean and dry. Never expose the device
to rain or high humidity. Do not install it in the immediate
vicinity of swimming pools, shower facilities, damp base-
ments or other areas with unusually high air humidity.
• Never place objects filled with water (e.g. vases or drinking
glasses) on the device. Liquids in the devices may cause a
short circuit.
• Never install or operate the device in the immediate vicinity
of radiators, lighting systems or other heat-generating
devices.
Disposal
At the end of its operating life this product may not
be disposed of along with normal household waste.
Please take it to a designated recycling point for
electric and electronic appliances. This is
indicated by the symbol on the product, the
operating instructions or the packaging.

4. General operation
•Important: Before using the bodypack transmitter for the
first time, you must charge the built-in battery. Please use
an appropriate Unite charger.
• onnect a headphone or induction loop to jack socket .
• onnect a microphone to the 4-pin mini XLR connector or
use a headset with the connector (at/on connector ).
• Hold down the on/off button to switch on the transmitter.
• The integrated microphone  will be automatically activated
if no external microphone is connected.
• In order to establish an audio connection between a trans-
mitter and one or more receivers, all devices must be paired
together. See chapter 4.
• All devices are supplied with the group ID 256 and fixed
audio encryption. This allows for quick and easy initial use.
• The transmitter will only transmit the audio signal on a
channel with a predefined channel name. If there are several
transmitters in a group, the channel for the respective trans-
mitter can be selected on the receiver.
• If you require several device groups or a tap-proof audio
transmission, follow the steps in chapter 4 to create a new
pairing.
• If you require several device groups or a more tap-proof
audio transmission, to avoid listening by other groups using
Unite devices, follow the steps in chapter 4 to create a new
pairing.

5. Create / define a new pairing
5.1 Encryption
The audio data is always encrypted with an AES-256 code to
ensure a tap-proof transmission. The required key will be
generated within the transmitter itself and only transmitted via
the chargers during the pairing process. As the key is not trans-
mitted via radio, the system is even better protected against
eavesdropping.
Should the receiver receive a differently encrypted audio signal
for which no key has been saved, the received audio signal will
be muted. The receiver display will also alternate between showing
the relevant channel name and the “KEY!” error message.
The encryption of the audio signal is shown schematically in
the following diagram.
Note: Only group ID 256 uses a factory-defined key that cannot
be changed. You can use this group ID for a system without
pairing.

5.2 Set group ID
The group ID identifies devices that can be placed in a virtual
group. For example, all devices of a building, a tour group or a
conference room.
The factory preset group ID is 256. To set a group ID between
1 and 255, follow the steps below:
• Press and hold the menu button for 2 seconds to activate
the main menu.
• Use the multifunction button to select “System” from the
menu.
• Press the menu button  to open the required submenu.
• Use the multifunction button  to select the “ID” submenu.
• Press the menu button to set an ID.
• Use the multifunction button to select the desired ID.
• Press the menu button  to confirm the selected ID.
Make sure to select the same group ID for all devices of a
desired group. Only devices that have the same group ID can
communicate with each other. Transmitters with other group
IDs are hidden. See the following diagram.

5.3 Set channel name
Devices that are grouped with one group ID can transmit
multiple audio channels via the same group ID.
In order to differentiate between audio channels from several
transmitters on the receiver, enter a five-digit name for the
channel on the transmitter. Proceed as described in the
following:
