Advanced Program Features and Listen’s iDSP Software Suite
To manage the advanced program features on any of the iDSPTM receivers a windows based User Interface (UI) software is required.
This software is available free of charge from Listen Technologies. To download the software log onto http://www.listentech. com/support/software/idsp-software-suite/ and follow the instructions.
With the UI software, direct communication is provided via the Micro USB connection on the receiver. Once connected the UI software provides setup and adjustment of the following functions of the LR-4200 receiver.
Note: A help file for the UI software is included with the download and will provide detailed instructions for set up and management of all the advanced program features of the LR-4200 receiver.
Super Quiet Mode
To reduce background noise and increase the audio quality, Listen offers a noise reduction technology called Listen SQTM. Only Listen *transmitters and receivers have SQTM available, both the transmitter and receiver must have SQTM activated to achieve the improved sound quality performance. This LR-4200 receiver has been shipped to you with the SQTM feature enabled.
SQTM Summary: Improves noise performance by at least 20 dB SQ must be enabled for both the transmitter and receivers SQTM is NOT Squelch SQTM is NOT compatible with other manufactures’ products SQTM can be disabled to permit operation with early Listen products or other manufactures, products
Note: SQTM is not available on some of the early Listen transmitters. Please contact Listen’s Technical Support team to find out if your existing transmitter has this feature available.
Note: If you are planning to use this product with older Listen systems that do not employ SQTM or another manufactures transmitter The SQTM mode should disabled on this receiver. Refer to the manual supplied with the downloaded Listen UI software for details on how to manage the SQTM Mode on this receiver.
l PAGE 13
LR-4200 RECEIVER MANUAL
Squelch
The purpose of squelch is to mute the audio output of the receiver when the signal from the transmitter is turned off or the level is too weak to be received. Without squelch radio noise will be heard in the earphone. The squelch on the receiver can be adjusted to mute the audio at different RF signal strengths. There are 20 squelch settings. The lowest squelch setting (no squelch) is “0” and the tightest squelch setting is “20”. Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with the squelch setting of 3.
Useful as follows:
· To ensure that users don’t hear transmissions from other transmitters, set the squelch setting to the highest level that doesn’t squelch the receiver in the defined listening area
· If the receiver is to close to the transmitter (i.e. in a classroom), set the squelch high enough so that when the transmitter is turned off it immediately squelches the audio on the receiver and transmitters in other rooms will not be heard
· In an area that has a lot of broadcast inference, adjust the squelch setting to a higher setting to ensure the interference is not picked by the receiver
· For the maximum amount of range, consider setting the squelch setting to a low level (0, 1 or 2). This expands the range but could allow interference from other transmitters when operating far distances from the primary transmitter
Basic Channels and Expanded Channels Modes
Your Listen receiver has been shipped with the Basic Channel Mode enabled.
In the default Basic Channel Mode, only the wide band channels are available for selection. If the channel desired is not available in Basic Channel Mode, the receiver will need to be set to the Expanded Channel Mode. In Expanded Channel Mode all wide band and narrow band are available for selection.
Channel Labels
The channel labels are displayed on the OLED status screen. The default is the channel number the receiver has been programmed to receive, i.e. “CH-E”. Customization of this display can be created to better identify the type of audio, for example CH-E could be changed to display “Spanish” if the receiver is used for language translation.
Auto Power Mode
The auto power mode will automatically power the receiver on when the unit is removed from the charging device, displaying the unit ID, battery status and the active channel. When the unit is returned to the charging device the unit will automatically turn off and resume charging operation. Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with the Auto Power Mode enabled.

PAGE 14
Unit ID
The unit ID number provides a unique identification for each receiver that is displayed on the OLED status screen. This can be any 3 digit number between 000 and 999. The unit ID allows venues to track individual units and for easy dispensing and inventory control. Your Listen receiver has been shipped to you with a Unit ID of 000.
Brightness Control
The Brightness Control adjusts the level of brightness of the OLED display. There are four settings Auto, Bright, Dim and Disabled. In the Auto mode the unit uses an internal light sensor and automatically dims the display when the light level is below approximately 10 Lux. In the Bright, Dim or Disabled mode the unit disables the light sensor and leaves the OLED in the selected Bright or Dim state. In the disabled mode the unit disables the display from lighting during normal operation except for the power on sequence or when the power button is momentarily pressed to check status. The receiver is shipped with the Auto Brightness Control Mode enabled.
Jack Sense
The jack sense mode when enabled will automatically turn the receiver on when a headset is inserted into the 3.5 mm output jack on the receiver. The receiver will automatically turn off after 60 seconds when the headset is removed from the 3.5 mm output jack. Your listen receiver has been shipped to you with the Jack Sense Mode disabled. Note: If Jack Sense is on and Auto Power is on, the receiver will ignore jack sense while on the charger.
Unit Information
When a unit is connected to the configuration software the software extracts specific information from the unit and displays it for the user. This information includes the model number, frequency, Serial Number and Firmware Version.
Reset to Factory Defaults
The unit can be returned to the factory default settings.
Firmware Update
The firmware update function will check via the internet to see if a firmware update is available for the receiver.

LR-4200 RECEIVER MANUAL
RF Reception Maximization Strategies:
For proper and reliable operation, Listen receivers should receive a strong and consistent signal from the originating transmitter. Follow these strategies should be used to maximize this signal:
a. When designing and installing a system, keep in mind that the location of both the transmitter and receivers is critical to maximizing signal strength
b. Eliminate or minimize obstructions between the transmitter and receivers
c. Minimize the distance between the transmitter and receivers d. Move transmitter and receivers away from metal objects e. Place the transmitting antenna as high as possible (on stationary transmitters) f. Orient both transmitting and receiving antennas vertically g. On portable transmitters and receivers, the cable from the microphone or
headset is the antenna; ensure that the cable is not coiled or laying horizontal
h. For 216 MHz stationary LT-800 transmitter only, consider using a gain antenna such as a Yagi type antenna or the LA-107 ground plane antenna.”
NOTE: If the RF signal to the 216 MHz models is too high, the audio will be distorted. This may happen if you are within 40 feet (12m) of the LT-800-216 transmitter or within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the LT-700-216 transmitter.
CAUTION: When installing remote antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines. Coaxial cable, connectors, and optional antenna mounting kits are available from Listen. Visit www.listentech.com or ask your dealer for details.

Troubleshooting LR-4200 Receivers:
The receiver has no power Make sure the unit has either a fully charged battery or a Listen approved wall charging transformer is connected. Make sure the Power button on the top of the unit has been pressed to turn the unit ON. If this does not work, make sure the battery is installed properly and / or install a replacement battery.
There is no audio Make sure the volume control is turned up to at least 25%. Check the Intelligent Earphone/Neck Loop Lanyard to insure it’s plugged all of the way. Make sure the Ear Phone is plugged into the Earphone/Neck Loop Lanyard. Check to insure the transmitter is broadcasting an audio source. Verify the receiver is tuned to the same channel as the transmitter. If the RF signal is too weak, the receiver will squelch and mute the audio source; move closer to the antenna or make sure the transmitter’s output RF power switch is set on “FULL” (LT-800).
The audio is distorted Check the receiver is on the correct channel and make sure your using the clearest channel possible. Verify the audio on the transmitter is not turned up too loud; this will cause distortion. Insure the Intelligent Ear Phone/Neck Loop Lanyard connectors are pushed all the way into the jacks on top of the unit. Check the Ear Phone to verify it is plugged all the way into the Ear Phone/Neck Loop Lanyard. Review the SQTM settings on your transmitter and receivers to verify both are turned ON (or OFF, if some of your equipment is not SQTM capable). Make sure the receiver is not too close to the transmitting antenna. If the receiver can’t get farther away from the antenna, turn down the RF output power on the stationary (LT-800) transmitter.
I cannot pick up the signal on the receiver Check to make sure the receiver and the transmitter are on the same exact channel frequency. Verify the receiver is in broadcast range of the transmitter. Move the receiver closer to the transmitter.
I can pick up the signal on the receiver, but it sounds like it’s not tuned in Check the transmitter and receiver and verify they are both on exactly the same channel number/letter. Make sure you are using a clear channel that is free from noise and interference.
I’m using another brand of transmitter – how do I tell which channel to use? Refer to Listen’s Frequency Compatibility Table (page 16). Adjust either the transmitter or the receiver to a common channel.
There is not sufficient range Inspect the transmitting antenna verify it is located as close as possible to the receiving area. Place the antenna as high as possible and check to see it is free from obstacles. Check the squelch setting on the unit; perhaps it is too sensitive.
When I change channels, only certain channels are accessible The unit has been programmed to basic mode which only shows the wide band channels. The unit can be programmed for expanded mode which will show all 57 channels. This is programmed via the configuration software.
My battery is not charging Verify the clear plastic pull tab has been removed from the receiver battery door engaging the battery connections. Make sure the battery is installed properly and that the unit is plugged into the charging device correctly. Check the charging device to verify it is plugged in the proper power outlet and power is available at the outlet. If this does not work, install a replacement battery.
I want to run the unit from a wall transformer Simply plug a Listen approved charging transformer (LA-421) into the Micro USB connector on the side of the unit. A battery must be installed at all times even when operating the unit with a wall charging transformer.

LT-800 Audio Control
1 Adjust Audio Input Level Adjust the input knob counterclockwise to add gain to Input 1. This will decrease gain to Input 2. Adjust input knob clockwise to add gain to Input 2. This will decrease gain to Input 1. If you have two audio sources connected to both Input 1 and 2, adjust the level of one input using the VU meter, then adjust the output level of the other audio source. Adjust the input level until the left VU meter(s) occasionally illuminate the red LEDs. Illumination of the red LEDs indicates the unit is in limiting. Limiting is required so that the unit does not over-modulate the transmitter. If you don’t want any audio limiting to occur, make sure the red LEDs never illuminate. If you want a highly limited signal, turn the audio gain up so the red LEDs illuminate often.
2 Adjust Contour Adjust the Contour knob counterclockwise if your audio source is mostly voice. Adjust the knob clockwise if your audio source is mostly music. The Contour knob adjusts the relative equalization of the unit. This equalization boosts or cuts frequencies above 5 kHz.
3 Adjust Mix Level Adjust the mix level until the right VU meter occasionally illuminates the red LED. This is the level adjustment for the combined output from Input 1 and Input 2. If you are using another manufacturers’ receivers with the LT-800, determine the frequency of their receivers then refer to Listen’s Frequency Compatibility Tables (pages 15-16) to find the LT-800 channel that corresponds with the receiver’s frequency. We recommend verifying corresponding channel designations on these tables to ensure compatibility and provide the best possible reception. The LT-800 is Phonak compatible and can be set to display Phonak specific channels. See page 8 to set Channel Mode and page 14 for specific channel designations.

Listen SQTM (Super Quiet) – Improving Your Listening Experience
People are accustomed to listening to low noise, high fidelity audio (delivered via CD, DVD, etc.). FM radio systems, such as those made by Listen, have more inherent noise compared to most sound systems. To minimize noise, Listen uses a noise reduction technology called ListenSQTM. Both the transmitter and receiver must have the SQ feature enabled to achieve the desired results. SQ is available on new Listen systems, including the system you received in this shipment. If you are planning to use this product with older Listen systems that do not have Listen SQ, or equipment not manufactured by Listen, you must disable Listen SQ.
Your Listen LT-800 has been shipped to you with the SQ feature enabled. You may need to disable the SQ function for one or more of the following reasons:
1 You are using your new Listen LT-800 with older version Listen receivers that do not have the SQ function.
2 You are using your new Listen LT-800 with equipment supplied by other manufacturers (Listen is the only manufacturer using SQ Technology).
3 You expect that end users will bring and use their own receivers that don’t have the SQ function.
NOTE: See page 8 to enable or disable SQ (Super Quiet).
SQ Summary · SQ is NOT squelch
· SQ improves noise performance by at least 20dB
· SQ is NOT compatible with older version Listen products
· SQ is NOT compatible with other manufacturers’ products
· To work properly, SQ must be enabled for both the transmitter and receivers
· SQ can be disabled to permit operation with older Listen products or other manufacturers’ products
Process Mode
Process mode is used for Audio Gain Control (AGC). With the process mode enabled, the LT-800 will automatically adjust for inconsistent signal input levels by raising or lowering the signal level accordingly to provide a consistent sound output level. This feature should be used in applications where a consistent sound level is important and the input levels vary substantially. Typically you would not want to engage the Process Mode when a speaker’s emphasis is critical to the message they are conveying.
Basic and Expanded Mode
In the default Listen channel mode, only the most commonly used channels are available. This is called “Basic Mode”. When the LT-800 is in Basic Mode, “L/O” (lock-out) will be displayed on the LCD, meaning some transmission channels are unavailable. If the channel needed is not available in Basic Mode, access to all transmission channels is achieved in “Expanded Mode”. To access Expanded Mode press and hold the channel select “down” button while powering on the unit. To return to Basic Mode, repeat the same process of powering on the unit while holding the “down” button.

RF Reception Maximization Strategies
For proper and dependable operation, Listen receivers need to receive a strong and consistent signal from the originating transmitter. Note that on portable receivers the headset wire is the receiving antenna. The following strategies should be used maximize this signal: 1 When designing and installing your system, keep in mind that the location of both the
transmitting and receiving antennas is critical to maximize broadcast range. 2 Eliminate or minimize obstructions between the transmitting and receiving antenna. 3 Minimize the distance between the transmitting and receiving antennas. 4 Move transmitting and receiving antennas away from metal or conductive objects. 5 Place the transmitting antenna as high as possible. 6 Orient both transmitting and receiving antennas vertically. 7 Position the RF Power switch on the back of the LT-800 to full RF Power, unless lower power is
necessary (see page 9). 8 Keep coaxial cable from transmitter to antenna as short as possible.
CAUTION: When installing antennas, ensure the antenna is clear of power lines.
Coaxial cable, connectors, and optional antenna mounting kits are available from Listen. See page 22-23, visit www.listentech.com or ask your dealer for details.
Coaxial Cable
The antenna for the LT-800 can be mounted directly on the unit if desired. However, you may find that the unit will provide better performance when the antenna is located elsewhere. If you plan to mount the antenna in a different location other than the top of the unit, you must use cable and connectors rated at 50 ohms. Although cable used for cable TV installations looks similar to this cable, it will not work with your Listen system.
If you need to run cable over a length greater than 50 feet for 216 MHz applications or greater than 100 feet for 72 MHz applications or to maximize broadcast range, Listen recommends that you use RG-8 cable rather than RG-58. RG-8 is a lower loss cable, meaning that more of your signal will reach the antenna.
Long cable runs can result in signal degradation due to the “loss” characteristics of the cable. When using RG-58 with a 72 MHz transmitter, there is an average* loss of 4 dB per 100 feet of cable and at 216 MHz using RG-58 an average* loss of 8 dB per 100 feet of cable. (A 3dB loss means half of your power has been lost.) However, it is better to suffer coaxial power loss than to try to shoot your signal through obstacles! Obstacles, especially metal, can create drop-outs or reflections of your signal that will result in poor listening conditions.
*NOTE: There are many varieties of 50 ohm, RG-58 and RG-8 cables. You may purchase a cable that is better or worse than this value. Please check with the cable vendor or manufacturer for exact specifications.

Channel Selection
It is important to choose channels that are free from interference to achieve proper operation of your Listen equipment. This process is trial and error. Before turning on the transmitter, listen to the wide band channels on the receivers (lettered channels at 72 MHz and channels that start with a “2” for 216 MHz when using a Listen receiver). Listen to the audio through the headphone or via the speaker and choose a channel with the least amount of interference. Unless you are interfacing with an existing narrowband transmission system, always use a wide band channel.
If you are using multiple channels follow this process:
1. Same Space If you are using multiple transmitters in the same space, the highest number of channels that will work simultaneously is six at 72 MHz and three at 216 MHz. With all of the transmitters off, listen for interference on all the wide band channels with a Listen receiver. Using the frequency compatibility tables on pages 15-17, eliminate any channels that have noticeable interference. Now choose the channels with the widest channel spacing. It is recommended that adjacent channels be spaced at least 300k Hz apart. If there is no interference the following channels are recommended. For a 72 MHz system, use channels A, C, E, I, J and H. For a 216 MHz system, use channels 2A, 2K and 2V.
2. Distributed Spacing If you are using transmitters that are distributed over a large area, you can achieve more simultaneous broadcast channels. However, it is critical that your receiver(s) be located as close to its transmitter as possible. You can use adjacent channels (see frequency compatibility tables (on pages 15-17) in this case as long as the adjacent channel transmitter is at least 50% further away from the receiver than the original transmitter. Example: The transmitter for the receiver on channel E is 100 feet from the receiver. The adjacent channel transmitter on channel D should be at least 150 feet away.
It is highly recommended that after channel selection has been achieved, you lock the channel so that it cannot be changed by the user. To accomplish LOCK on the LT-800, press the “UP” button for 3 seconds. Repeat the process to unlock.
Notes in regard to using 72 MHz and 216 MHz systems:
1. 72 MHz is a secondary frequency band. This means that other transmitters are licensed to use these frequencies. Thus, you may experience interference from paging transmitters and other types of transmissions. You will need to find a clear channel by listening to all the wide band channels.
2. 216 MHz is a primary frequency band and no other types of transmissions are authorized to use it. Thus, you will find the highest probability of clear channels in this band. However, you may experience intermodulation of the TV Channel 13 aural carrier if there is a channel 13 transmitter in your area and you are close to the transmitter. If you cannot find a clear channel in 216 MHz band due to channel 13, it is recommended that you switch to a 72 MHz system.
Wide Band Recommendation Listen recommends that you always use a wide band channel unless you need to be compatible with existing narrow band receivers from other manufacturers. Wide band channels have lower noise than their narrow band counterparts.
At 72MHz The LT-800 at 72 MHz operates on 17 wide band channels and 40 narrow band channels.
· Letters= Wide Band Channels (Example: E)
· Numbers= Narrow Band Channels (Example: 32)
At 216MHz The LT-800 at 216 MHz operates on 19 wide band channels and 38 narrow band channels.
· “2” as left digit= Wide Band Channel (Example: 2C)
· “1” and “3” as left digits= Narrow Band Channels (Examples: 1A; 3R)

LT-800 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
The LT-800 has no power Make sure the LA-207 power supply is connected to a power source and is connected to the jack marked “Power Input”. Make sure the POWER button is pressed in.
There is no audio or the audio level is too low Make sure that your audio source is properly connected to Input 1 and/or Input 2. The Input 1 or Input 2 switches must be in the correct position for the appropriate input level. For example: if you are using the output of a mixer on Input 2, the switch should be in the -10dBu position. If it were to be in the +10dBu position, the level would be too low. Also, check the Input knob to ensure it is properly adjusted. You should be able to see the VU meter deflect on Input 1 or Input 2 corresponding with the input level of the audio source. You can listen to the audio source by connecting a headset to the front panel jack and adjusting the Monitor volume control.
If the level of audio into the transmitter is low and can’t be corrected using the level input switches, the audio processor can be turned on to boost the signal (see page 8 to set, page 12 for description of Process Mode).
The audio is distorted Check to make sure you have the input level select switches in the proper position. You may be providing too much audio level for the input stage to handle. Make sure the SQ mode is set correctly on both the LT-800 and the receivers you are using. If your receivers do not have SQ, make sure the SQ mode is turned off (see page 8).
There is hum in the audio Make sure you have properly grounded the audio source to the LT-800. Check the connections from the audio source to the LT-800. If you can, try to use a balanced audio source – this will reduce the chance of creating hum. Connect a ground wire from the LT-800 to ground and/or to the ground of the source audio.
There is a tone The Test Tone button has been pressed (its LED light is on). Push the Test Tone button to turn off the tone.
The Audio Input 1 sounds “tinny” If you are using an unbalanced audio source, make sure Pin 3 on the XLR or the ring on the ¼” plug is grounded (see page 9).
I cannot pick up the signal on the receiver Check to make sure the receiver and the transmitter are using the same frequency band (i.e. 72 MHz or 216 MHz) and that they are on the same channel. Make sure the LT-800 has an antenna connected. Ensure that the receiver has an antenna (for portable products the headset is the receiving antenna).
I can pick up the signal on the receiver, but it sounds like it’s not tuned in Check to make sure the transmitter and receiver are on exactly the same channel. It’s a good idea to lock the channels once they have been set. To lock the LT-800, press the UP button for 3 seconds (see page 10).

LT-800 Troubleshooting (cont.)
Troubleshooting
I’m using another brand of receiver – how do I tell which channel to use Refer to Listen’s Frequency Compatibility Tables (pages 15-17). Adjust Listen’s transmitter to the same frequency as the other major brand. Since Listen products can access 57 channels, they will most likely receive on the same fixed channel or channels of other major brands. If you are using another brand of receiver, make sure you have turned off the SQ feature on the Listen product(s).
There is not sufficient range First make sure that the receivers you are using are operating properly, then make sure that you have an antenna connected either to the top of the LT-800 transmitter or connected to the back of the unit (but not both!). The antenna should be as high as possible and free of obstacles. In addition make sure you are using the correct antenna type for your unit. You might want to use a remote antenna (provided by Listen) that can be mounted on a mast or wall. Try using different frequencies to find one with less interference.
There is interference in my transmission Ensure that the transmitter and receivers are on the same channel. Verify that there are no other transmitters on the same channel or a close channel to the one exhibiting interference. Try different channels until you find a clear channel. If this does not work, try a different frequency band (i.e. if you are using 72 MHz, try 216 MHz or vice versa). Please contact Listen support for assistance and a return authorization (RMA) number to exchange product for alternate frequency equipment.
End users are adjusting the unit First, lock the channel by pressing and holding the channel select UP button for 3 seconds. Consider removing the Input, Mix Level and Contour knobs. You can order a rack mount kit from Listen which offers a security cover that will limit access to the unit.
I am using other manufacturers’ receivers and the sound is distorted The receiver is probably not designed to handle the +25 kHz deviation of the Listen transmitter. This can be corrected by turning the Mix Level knob down. Another possibility is that you have enabled the SQ function of the LT-800, and this feature is not available in other companies’ products. You will need to disable SQ in this event (see page 8). If you are using Phonak receivers, the transmitter is capable of operating in the Phonak mode (please refer to page 8).
Several transmitters are operating in the same environment For this, you’ll need to choose your transmitting frequencies carefully. See page 15-17 for more details.
Can I have two antennas connected to my transmitter No. The LT-800 transmitter can use only one antenna connection at a time. You may connect either a top mount antenna through the top antenna port, or a remote antenna connected to the BNC connection on the rear of the unit. If multiple antennae are simultaneously connected to both ports the transmitter will have extremely poor broadcast performance and range.
