2. Pull the battery compartment lid (14)/(21) off the transmitter in the di-
rection 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 trans-
mitter 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 you use a rechargeable battery, the LED will switch to red 15 min-
utes before the battery will be dead!
If the status LED (12)/(17) fails to illuminate the battery is dead. Insert
a new battery.
5. To close the battery compartment, slide the battery compartment lid
(14)/(21) onto the battery compartment from below to the point that
the snap hook will engage.
1. Switch power to the receiver on.
2. To switch power to the transmitter on, set the on/off switch (11) to "ON".
Since the HT 40 PRO handheld transmitter has been designed specif-
ically for the integrated microphone element, there is no need to set
gain on the handheld transmitter. Therefore, the handheld transmitter
has no level or gain control.
3. Switch power to your sound system or amplifier on.
4. Talk or sing into the microphone and set the levels on your mixer or
amplifier referring to the appropriate instruction manual, or by ear.
1. Pull the color code clip (13) off the transmitter case in the direction of
the arrow.
2. Slide the supplied semitransparent replacement clip onto the trans-
mitter to the point that it snaps into place with an audible click.
The PT 40 PRO bodypack transmitter has been designed for use with the

wish to connect other microphones from AKG or other manufacturers to
the PT 40 PRO, please note that you may have to rewire the existing con-
nector of your microphone or replace it with a 3-pin mini XLR connector.
