Important Note
(Please read BEFORE using)
Licence-Free Operation in the UK
For licence-free operation in the UK the frequency window MUST be restricted to 863-865 MHz before the
equipment can legally be used.
Please proceed as follo ws:
1) While holding down the SET and UP buttons, switch on the transmitter until “Lo Li” is displayed.
2) Then use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the lower frequency limit to 863.000 MHz.
3) Press SET to store.
4) The program will automatic ally change to “Al tering the upper range limit” and “HiLi” will be displayed.
5) Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the upper frequency limit to 865.000 MHz.
6) Press SET to store.
7) The transmitter is now set for operation on the de-regulated licence-free frequencies only and can legally be
used in the UK without requiring a licence. (nb: This restriction, once set, cannot be reversed by the user - this
is a legal requirement).
Failure to comply with the above will mean that the transmitter cannot legally be operated at 863-865 MHz
and the user would be liable to prosecution.
The four IM-free frequencies (factory set as presets 1-4) are: 863.1, 863.5, 864.3 and 864.9 MHz
For UK licensed operation:
Please contact JF MG fo r fre quenc y a ll oca tio n an d obta ini ng a li cenc e.

Ch.69 Shared Frequencies:
There are 14 frequencies in TV channel 69 that can be used on a shared basis throughout the UK. Eight
of these will work intermodulation-free with evolution wireless transmitters. Four of these ch.69 fre-
quencies are set as standard (presets 6-8), however if more than four frequencies are required please re-
set the first four frequency memories (see instruction manual) to the following frequency set:
Co-ordinated Frequencies in other bands:
There are many other frequency bands available in the UK on a co-ordinated “fixed site” basis.
Please contact JFMG for details of the channels available in your area. Sennheiser UK can supply you
with intermodulation-free frequency sets for your allocated channel.

interpretation applications with one or several speakers. The use of
RF transmission allows freedom of movement for all members of
the group. Due to the possibility of combining the EK 1035 receiver
with different transmitters, the system can be optimally adapted to
your individual needs.
The syst em has supe rb a udio quality with an increa sed signal-to-
noise ratio and dynamic range due to the inclusion of Sennheiser’s
HDX noise reduction system.

Accupack operation
The EK 1035 bodypack receiver is powered by the BA 1035
accupack. The accupack has an operating time of approx. six hours
with the volume set to a medium value. The maximum operating
time depends on the volume adjustment.
The red LED at the top of the EK 1035 receiver provides information
on the accupack capacity:
LED lit up:
The receiver is switched on and the accupack capacity is sufficient.
LED flashing:
The accupack is going flat! You should imme diately replace the
accupack!
Important note:
NiMH cells can become damaged and have a reduced life if they
are run completely flat. Please make sure that unused receivers
are switched off to prevent this happening.
Switching the receiver on
To switch the receiver on, set the on/off switch OFF/ON on the
receiver to “ON”.
The switch is automatically set to “OFF” when the receiver is
inserted into the L 1035 charger.
Setting the receiving frequency
Use the channel selector switch CHANNEL to set the receiving
frequency. The assignment of a switch position to a frequency is
listed on the type plate on the back of the receiver. Up to ten
receiving frequencies are available (see „Specifications“ on
page 58).
Important note:
Transmitter and receiver must be set to the same frequency!
Squelch
The EK 1035 receiver is equipped with a squelch which eliminates
annoying noise when there is no or only a weak transmission signal.

Adjusting the volume
Use t he volume control VOLUME to adjust the volume of the
connected headphones.
WARNING: Volume up? - No!
When people use headphones, they tend to choose
a high volume. Listening at high volume levels for
long pe riods can le ad to pe rmanent hearing defects.
Pleaseprotect your hearing,Sennheiser headphones
have an excellent sound quality even at low
volumes.
Connecting the headphones
Connect the headphones to the 3.5 mm stereo jack socket on the
EK 1035 receiver. You can connect any Sennheiser stereo
headphones with an impedance of more than 8 Ω per system.
Important note:
Only use headphones with a stereo jack plug!
Attaching the receiver to clothing
With the supplied clip, the EK 1035 receiver can be attached to the
belt.

L 1035 twin charger
The L 1035 twin charger is suitable for charging BA 1035 accupacks
which are supplied with the EK 1035 receiver. The accupack is slid
onto the receiver from the side.
Accupacks ensure economical and environmentally friendly
operation of the tourguide UHF system during daily use.
Mains connection
Plug the NT 1035 plug-in mains unit into the mains and connect the
cable of t he plug-in mains unit to the socket on the L 1035
charger.
The plug-in mains unit is available in different voltage variants and
plug standards (see „Accessories and spare parts“ on page 55).
Cascading several chargers
When using several chargers simultaneously, we recommend
cascading them. Up to four chargers can be cascaded together to
form a charging station.
Loosen and remove the screws at the bottom of the chargers and
remove the rails fromall chargers. Reconnect the rails to thefirst
charger so that half the length protudes. Slide the second charger
onto the protruding rails and screw down. Repeat for futher
chargers (maximum 4). Tighten the screws on all chargers (you will
have one set of rails and screws spare from the last charger, these
are not required). Power is supplied by one charger to the other via
the rails .
The NT 1035 plug-in mains unit can power up to four L 1035
chargers.

Wall-mounting the c harger
The charger is already prepared for wall mounting, the
corresponding openings are at the rear of the charger.
The mounting material is not included in the delivery.
Charging the accupack/receiver
The BA 1035 accupacks can be charged either attached to the
receiver or separately. For charging the accupack, insert the
EK 1035 receiver with an attached accupack or an individual
accupack into a charging compartment of the L 1035 charger.
Note:
The receiver’s on/off switch is automatically set to “OFF” when
the receiver is inserted into the L 1035 charger.
The charging process is automatic. Since the accupacks cannot be
overcharged, the accupack or the receiver with the accupack can
remain in the charger even when the charging time has been
exceeded .
After an initial charging time of 16 hours, the accupacks offer an
operating time of approx. six hours.
The charging process restarts after a power failure or after the
accupack has been removed from the charging compartment and
inserted again. However, the accupacks cannot be overcharged.
Indicator LEDs
Green LED: The accupack in this charging compartment
is fully charged .
Red LED: The accupack is being charged.
