When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by Sennheiser or those having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the device is in safe operating order.
Danger due to high volumes
This is a professional transmission system. Commercial use is subject to the rules and regulations of the trade association responsible. Sennheiser, as the manufacturer, is therefore obliged to expressly point out possible health risks arising from use.
This system is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent hearing damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to excessive noise for too long a time:
yYou can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.
yYou have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high notes.
Reception interference due to high transmission power
The SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter can be switched to a transmission power of 100 mW. Depending on the selected frequency, this can affect the reception of other wireless systems.

If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the transmission link will be undermodulated, which would result in a signal with high background noise.
The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display for audio signal ???AF??? shows full deflection only during the loudest passages.

Recommendations and tips
... for the EK 300 IEM G2 receiver
yThe antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.
... for optimum reception
yTransmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a ???free line of sight??? between transmitting and receiving antennas.
yIf, with the SR 300 IEM G2 transmitter or the SR 350 IEM G2 twin receiver, transmission conditions are unfavourable, you should use a remote antenna which is connected via antenna cable.
yTo avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas.
yObserve a minimum distance of 50 cm between the transmitting antennas and metal objects (such as cross members or

Additional information
HDX noise reduction
RF link
Progress you can hear:
The evolution wireless G2 series is equipped with HDX, the Sennheiser noise reduction system that reduces RF interference. It increases the
HDX is a wideband compander system which compresses the audio signal in the transmitter in a 2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise floor of the RF link. In the receiver the signal is expanded in an identical and opposite way in a 1:2 ratio to restore the original signal, at the same time reducing the RF noise to below the noise floor of the receiver.
HDX has been specially developed for high quality radiomicrophone systems.
Note:
Only transmitters and receivers that are equipped with HDX can work correctly with each other. If non HDX equipment was mixed with HDX, the dynamic range would be drastically reduced and the transmission would sound blunt and flat. HDX is permanently active and cannot be switched off.
Wireless transmission systems
With the ew 300 IEM G2 system, Sennheiser puts an end to cable tangles and enables complete freedom of movement. The systems operate exclusively in the UHF band. UHF transmission is extremely reliable and is far less prone to interference than the overcrowded VHF band ??? harmonics from mains units, fluorescent tubes, refrigerators, computers, etc. are virtually eliminated. Also indoor propagation of UHF radio waves is better than VHF so that the RF power can be kept low ??? this is also an advantage when using
Correct adjustment of transmitter sensitivity is vital. Too high and you get overmodulation and distortion, too low and you get undermodulation and a noisy signal. Please set the sensitivity correctly for the microphone/usage and check it before every performance to ensure best operation.

This prevents strong interfering signals from causing hissing noise in the receiver when the transmitter is switched off.

Depending on the strength of the received RF signal, the receiver???s audio output is opened or muted. Via the ???SQELCH??? menu of the receiver, the squelch threshold can be adjusted in three steps (LO, MID, HI).
