Indications and displays on the receivers
Operation and battery status indication (EK 100 G2 only)
The red LED (LOW BAT/ON) !provides information on the current operating
state of the EK 100 G2:
Red LED lit up: The receiver is switched on and the capacity of the bat-
teries/accupack BA 2015 is sufficient.
Red LED flashing: The batteries are/the accupack BA 2015 is going flat
(LOW BAT)!
In addition, the 4-step battery status display "on the display panel provides
information on the remaining battery/accupack BA 2015 capacity:
Transmitter battery status indication (EM 100 G2 only)
When the capacity of the transmitter batteries/accupack is so low that the
batteries/accupack must soon be replaced (LOW BAT), the transmitter trans-
mits information on its remaining battery/accupack capacity to the
EM 100 G2 receiver and the transmitter low battery icon #starts flashing on
the receiver display panel.
“MUTE” display
The “MUTE” display $or %appears when
!the RF signal of the received transmitter is too weak,
!the received transmitter has been muted (with the pilot tone transmission
or evaluation activated).
RF signal indication (EK 100 G2 only)
The green LED (RF) &at the front of the EK 100 G2 lights up when an RF sig-
nal is being received.

Modulation display of the receiving transmitter
The level display for audio signal “AF” shows the modulation of the transmit-
ter.
When the transmitter’s audio input level is excessively high (AF peak), the
receiver’s level display for audio signal “AF” shows full deflection.
“PILOT” display
The “PILOT” display !or "lights up when the pilot tone evaluation is acti-
vated (see: „Activating/deactivating the pilot tone transmission or pilot tone
evaluation“ on page 35).
Diversity display (EM 100 G2 only)
The EM 100 G2 receiver operates on the true diversity principle (see: „Diver-
sity reception“ on page 41).
The diversity display #indicates whether diversity section I (i.e. antenna 1)
or diversity section II (i.e. antenna 2) is active.
Display backlighting (EK 100 G2 only)
After pressing a button, the display remains backlit for approx. 15 seconds.

muted (see: „Muting the transmitters“ on page 23).
Modulation display
The level display for audio signal (AF) shows the modulation of the transmit-

audio input level is excessively high (AF peak) and overmodulates the trans-
mitter. At the same time, the 7-step level display for audio signal “AF” shows
full deflection for the duration of the overmodulation.

The operating menu
A special feature of the Sennheiser ew 100 G2 series is the similar, intuitive operation. As a result, the units are easy
to operate and adjustments to the settings can be made quickly and “without looking” – even in stressful situati-
ons, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation.

Working with the operating menu
By way of example of the “TUNE” menu, this section describes how to use the
operating menu.
After switching the unit on, the standard display is shown on the display
panel.
Getting into the operating menu
!Press the SET button to get from the standard display into the operating
menu. The last menu selected flashes on the display.
Selecting a menu
!Press the "/#buttons to select a menu.
!Press the SET button to get into the setting mode of the selected menu.
The current setting that can be adjusted flashes on the display.
Adjusting a setting
!Press the "/#buttons to adjust the setting. By briefly pressing the "/#
buttons, the display jumps either forwards or backwards to the next set-
ting. In the “CHAN”, “TUNE” and “NAME” menu, the "/#buttons feature
a “fast search” function. If you hold down a button, the display cycles con-
tinuously. The “fast search” function allows you to get fast and easily to
your desired setting. The new setting flashes on the display until it is
stored.
Storing a setting
!Press the SET button to store the setting. “STORED” appears on the dis-
play, indicating that the setting has been stored. The display then returns
to the previous menu level.
With most menus, new settings become effective immediately without
having to be stored. An exception are the “BANK”, “CHAN”, “TUNE” and
“RESET” menus of the transmitters and the “RESET” menu of the recei-
vers. With these menus, new settings only become effective after they
have been stored (“STORED” appears on the display, indicating that the
setting has been stored).
Exiting the operating menu
!Select the “EXIT” menu to exit the operating menu and to return to the
standard display.
When you have entered the operating menu, the ON/OFF button or the
POWER button (EM 100 G2 receiver only) serves as the ESC (cancel) key,
i.e. by briefly pressing the ON/OFF or POWER button, you cancel your entry
and return to the standard display.
