For your safety
For your safety
Please make sure to read the “Safety information” supplement
included separately with the ADN CU1 central unit. This supple-
ment contains important information on the safe operation of the
ADN conference system as well as the manufacturer’s declara-
tion and warranty notes.
A detailed instruction manual for the overall ADN conference
system can be found
• on the Internet at www.sennheiser.com or
• on the DVD-ROM supplied with the ADN CU1 central unit.
The ADN D1/C1 and ADN-W D1/C1 confer-
ence units
The ADN D1 wired delegate unit and the ADN C1 wired chairperson unit as well
as the ADN-W D1 wireless delegate unit and the ADN-W C1 wireless chairper-
son unit are part of the Sennheiser ADN conference system.
IN OUT
To ensure full operational reliability in a redundant
ring topology, the hardware of the ADN C1 and ADN
D1 has been revised. If you combine conference
units with hardware revision 1 (no marking on the
type plate) and conference units with hardware re-
vision 2 (“HW: v2” is printed on the type plate), fail-
safe operation is only possible to a limited extent.
In a redundant ring topology, only use confer-
ence units with hardware revision 2.

Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless conference units for operation
Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless con-
ference units for operation
To operate the wireless conference unit, you have to connect a gooseneck
microphone (ADN-W MIC 15 or ADN-W MIC 36; available in different lengths)
to the console of the conference unit. The ADN-W BA battery pack supplies
power to the wireless conference unit. The conference system automatically
recognizes if the connected wireless conference unit is a chairperson unit
(ADN-W C1) or a delegate unit (ADN-W D1) and initializes it automatically.
Information on how to configure the wireless conference components can be
found in the ADN system manual or in the instruction manuals of the ADN CU1
central unit and the ADN-W AM antenna module.
If you do not connect a microphone to the wireless conference unit,
you can use the console as a loudspeaker to output the floor channel.

To screw on the gooseneck microphone:
Put the gooseneck microphone onto the
microphone connection 12.
Screw the microphone to the micro-
phone connection by turning the fasten-
ing thread 10 clockwise.
The microphone is securely connected
to the conference unit.
To unscrew the gooseneck microphone:
Unscrew the microphone by turning the
fastening thread 10 counterclockwise.
Carefully remove the gooseneck micro-
phone from the microphone connection.
Function check of the microphone
After switch-on, the wireless conference unit checks the proper functioning of
the gooseneck microphone.
If errors occur during the check of the microphone, the microphone LED 8and,
if the microphone is power supplied, the signal light ring 2flash red rapidly and
the microphone is automatically deactivated.

Preparing the ADN-W D1/C1 wireless conference units for operation
Replace the defective microphone by a new one.
If you screw the microphone to or unscrew it from the wireless conference
unit during operation (wireless conference unit is switched on), proper func-
tioning of the conference unit cannot be guaranteed, i.e. volume differences
or noise may occur.
First connect the microphone and then switch the conference unit on.
Inserting/removing the battery pack
To insert the ADN-W BA battery pack into the wireless conference unit:
Check the battery pack before using it in order to ensure sufficient battery
capacity and to exclude a defective battery pack (see the instruction manual
of the battery pack).
Charge the battery pack if necessary (see the instruction manual of the bat-
tery pack).
Slide the battery pack into the battery guide rails 13 of the wireless confer-
ence unit.

guide rails.
Switching the wireless conference unit on/off
To switch the wireless conference unit on:
Press the microphone key 7.
The microphone LED 8and the signal light ring 2flash red and the RF status
indicator 2on the ADN-W BA battery pack flashes blue slowly. Once the
initialization process is complete and after connection to the ADN-W AM an-
tenna module is established, the microphone LED 8and the signal light ring
2go off. The RF status indicator 2on the ADN-W BA battery pack indicates
the transmission quality:

To switch all wireless conference units off:
Set the on/off switch of the ADN CU1 central unit to position „0“.
The central unit is switched off and the display panel goes off. The ADN-W AM
antenna module connected to the central unit is switched off. All switched-
on and connected wireless conference units are automatically switched off
after 5 minutes.
If you are using the “Conference Manager” software, you can also
switch off all wireless conference units with a mouse click (detailed
information can be found in the ADN system manual).
To switch individual wireless conference units off:
Press the microphone key 7for 5 seconds
or:
Remove the ADN-W BA battery pack from the conference unit (see „Insert-
ing/removing the battery pack“).
The conference unit switches off. All LEDs go off.
