SABINE SW70-T User manual

PAD Settings
The SW70-T beltpack transmitter has a broad range of PAD settings, which allow you to use it with almost
any microphone or instrument. As in all audio equipment, the setting of the input level is crucial to achiev-
ing the best sound quality. Setting minimal PAD levels (-3, -6, or -10 dB) may produce a distorted sound if
you are using a high output microphone or instrument. Conversely, setting a more extreme PAD level (-40,
-37, or -34 dB) may require you to raise your system gain unnecessarily, resulting in a noisier output.
Watch the input meter on either the transmitter or the receiver (see illustrations) and set your level so there
are at least three indicators illuminated for normal program level, with an occasional move to the fourth
indicator. The fifth and biggest indicator denotes clipping – watch out! If you see clipping, choose a lower
pad setting (for example, from -10 to -14 dB).

Important Battery Information
Your Sabine True Mobility®SW70-T beltpack transmitter comes with two
size AA rechargeable NiMH batteries. For best results, charge the battery
for at least 8 hours before using it for the first time. Please note that the full
charging potential of the battery will be achieved after the first 5 charging
cycles have been completed.
These rechargeable NiMH batteries are highly resistant to the “memory ef-
fect,”which affects some rechargeable batteries. The included batteries will
provide more lifetime charges and longer battery life for each charge than
many rechargeable batteries.
Alkaline “AA”
Rechargeable
Batteries (2)
DO NOT BURN OR PUNCTURE BATTERY.
DOING SO COULD RELEASE TOXIC MA-
TERIALS WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY.
DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF
PROPERLY.
