Chapter 3_______________________________________Zaxcom Digital Wireless System User’s Manual44NOTE: The transmitter does not continue to keep timecode when it is powered down. Every time the unit’spower is cycled, it will be necessary to jam its internal-clock.Manually Jamming TC with a CableTimecode can be jammed into the transmitter by connecting the timecode source to the microphone input orusing the stereo adapter. When timecode is connected, it takes the transmitter approximately three (3) secondsto recognize the TC input. The screen display TIME CODE followed shortly by JAMMED when it isrecognized. When the word JAMMED disappears, the timecode input source can be disconnected and normaloperation can be resumed.When using the mic input connector with a mic-level source, the audio level of the timecode needs to be between-30 and -10 dBFS on the transmitter’s meter. Any level above -10 may cause clipping, which will prevent properreading of timecode.When using the mic input connector with a line-level source, a line-level to mic-level cable should be used toattenuate the timecode signal out of a generator to the correct audio level.When using the line-level input connector (STA100 or TCA100) with a line-level source, a non-attenuating cableshould be used.In the transmitter {TRXxxx} or recorder {ZFR1xx}, in the Extended Menu:a.
