2 Description
19 Antenna: Permanently connected, flexible antenna.
20 Belt clip for fixing the transmitter to your belt.
21 Battery compartment lid with integrated screwdriver (21a).
21b Viewing window: The viewing window lets you check if there is a dry or rechargeable battery inside the battery
compartment. You can also insert a white lettering strip (supplied) or a color code strip (optional) into the viewing
window.
22 GAIN: This rotary control inside the battery compartment allows you to match the bodypack transmitter input gain
to the microphone or instrument you connected to the transmitter.
23 Carrier frequency label: The label on the transmitter rear panel indicates the carrier frequency, color code (receiver
channels with the same carrier frequency are marked with the same color), and approv al marks of your transmit-
ter. Refer to the Manual Supplement sheet for a color code table.
The PT 40 PRO has been designed specifically for use with the following AKG microphones:
• CK 55 L, C 417 L, C 520 L, C 555 L
• C 516 ML, C 518 ML, C 519 ML
• The MKG L guitar cable from AKG lets you connect an electric guitar, electric bass, or remote keyboard to the body-
pack transmitter. One or two MKG L guitar cables, respectively, are included in the Instru mental Set SINGLE and In-
strumental Set DUAL. The MKG L guitar cable is also available separately as an accessory.

3 Setting Up

L
• Prior to setting up your WMS 40 SINGLE/DUAL, check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same
frequency. The easiest way to do this is to compare the color codes on the transmitter and receiver.
• You can either use the receiver freestanding or mount it in a 19" rack using the optional RMU 40 rack mounting kit.
For instructions on how to rack mount the receiver, refer to the RMU 40 manual.
• Reflections off metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow effects of musicians and other people may weaken
or cancel the direct transmitter signal.
For best results, place the receiver as follows:
1. Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure, though, that the transmitter will never get any closer
to the receiver than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft. (5 m).
2. Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using the transmitter.
3. Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any big metal objects, walls, scaffolding, ceilings, etc.
1. For each channel, use a balanced cable with an XLR connector and 1/4" TRS jack plug (available from electronics
or hi-fi stores).
2. Connect the (each) AUDIO OUT jack (8) on the receiver rear panel to the desired balanced (XLR) microphone input
on the mixer or amplifier.
3. Turn the (two) VOLUME control(s) (3) on the receiver all the way CCW to set the receiver output to mic level.
1. Use a standard 1/4" jack cable to connect the (each) AUDIO OUT jack (8) on the receiver rear panel to an unbal-
anced 1/4" line input jack on the mixer or amplifier.
2. Turn the (two) VOLUME control(s) (3) on the receiver all the way CW to set the receiver output to line level.

• To avoid hum interference, do not use any audio cables that are longer than 10 feet (3 m)!
1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power supply is identical to the AC mains voltage
to Power available where you will use your system. Using the power supply with a different AC voltage may cause
damage to the unit.
2. Point the antenna(s) (2) upward.
3. Plug the feeder cable on the included power supply into the DC ONLY socket (10) on the receiver.
4. Bend part of the feeder cable into a small bight, pass the bight through the strain relief (9) from above, and slip the
bight over the hook on the strain relief (9). Tighten the cable.
5. Plug the AC adapter into a convenient power outlet.
6. Press the ON/OFF switch (1) to switch power to the receiver ON.
1. Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment lid (14)/(21).
2. Pull the battery compartment lid (14)/(21) off the transmitter in the direction of the arrow.
3. Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conforming to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function if you insert the battery the other way round.
4. Set the on/off switch (11)/(16) to "ON" to switch power to the transmitter on.
If the battery is in good condition, the status LED (12)/(17) will be lit green.
If the status LED (12)/(17) is lit red, the battery will be dead within about two hours. Replace the battery with a new
one as soon as possible.
If the status LED (12)/(17) fails to illuminate the battery is dead. Insert a new battery.
