offers extremely easy operation and instantaneous channel selection.
Up to eight channels may be used together without any frequency
coordination problems or group selection issues.
System 10 wireless ensures clear communications by providing three
levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency
Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies
for interference-free communication. Time Diversity sends the signal
in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference.
Finally, Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and
receiver to maximize signal integrity.
Each System 10 professional digital wireless system includes a receiver
and camera shoe mount, and either a body-pack transmitter or a
handheld microphone/transmitter.
Because System 10 packaging is designed to hold all versions of
the system, some compartments in the carton may be intentionally
left empty.
The ATW-R1700 receiver includes a switching power supply that
automatically adapts to changes in mains voltage.
The versatile ATW-T1001 UniPak® body-pack transmitter has both a high-
impedance input for instruments, and a low-impedance input with bias
connection for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones.
The ATW-T1002 handheld transmitter features a unidirectional dynamic
microphone element.
Both the body-pack and handheld transmitters use internal AA batteries
and have Power/Mute switches and input Trim (level) adjustments.

CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing
to qualied service personnel. No userserviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or
moisture. The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for
optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the
receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. If battery dies, send receiver to
Audio-Technica or other qualied service center so battery can be replaced with same or
equivalent type. Likewise, send damaged, inoperable receivers to Audio-Technica or other
qualied service center for recycling—do not throw away receiver as its battery contains
toxic materials.
Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD devices: Any
source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal functioning of the implanted
device. All wireless microphones have low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output)
which are unlikely to cause difculty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the body, we suggest
attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt pocket where it may be immediately adjacent
to the medical device. Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF
transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or medical-device provider
if you have any questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF
equipment.

Receiver Installation
Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above the
ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize
reections. Keep the receiver antennas away from noise sources such
as other digital wireless equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away
from large metal objects. Keep System 10 receiver 30' (9 m) away from
wireless access points. In multi-channel systems, position receivers at
least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from
the receivers to help assure maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The ATW-R1700 has a single audio output jack that accepts the 3.5 mm
(1/8") cable included in the package.
Use the Audio Output Selector Switch to choose between a balanced
and an unbalanced dual mono signal.
The 3.5 mm (1/8") Headphone Monitor output works with mono or stereo
headphones (the output sends a dual mono audio signal to stereo
headphones). Use the Headphone Level Control to adjust the volume.
Power Connection
NOTE: Use only the supplied AC adapter and power cord to power or
charge receiver. To use AC power, connect the power cord’s USB A-type
male port to the AC adapter and connect the Micro-USB B port to the
USB Power Input on the side of the receiver. Next, plug the adapter
into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz or 230 volt 50 Hz (depending on global
location) AC power outlet. The AC adapter and USB cable also charges
the receiver’s internal battery. Charge battery in an environment with
moderate temperature (41°F – 95°F). The system will not charge in
temperatures below 32°F or above 104°F in order to prevent potential
damage to battery. For safety and to conserve energy, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet when the system is not in use. Store
receiver in a cool place.

System Operation
Turn down the headphone volume control and the camera/mixer
level before starting up the wireless system. Do not switch on the
transmitter yet.
Receiver on...
Press and hold receiver power button to turn receiver on. Power/Battery
indicator will glow green and the blue System ID number on the front
panel will illuminate.
If the Power/Battery indicator ashes green, the receiver’s battery
needs to be charged. You can charge the battery with the supplied
AC adapter and USB cable, following the instructions under Power
Connection on page 3. The LCD RX Battery Gauge will blink during
charging and a lightning bolt symbol will appear to the right of “RX.” The
Power/Battery indicator will glow red while the battery is charging and
turn green when charging is complete. Audio-Technica recommends
fully charging the internal battery before using the receiver for the rst
time. Average charge time takes 4 hours 30 minutes. To help maintain
the battery, it is best to operate the receiver (at least occasionally)
without the AC power supply and recharge when needed. Also, avoid
storing a fully charged receiver for a long period of time.
Transmitter on...
When the transmitter is switched on, the receiver's green pair indicator
will light, and two indicators light on the transmitter: the transmitter
Power / Battery / Mute status indicator will glow green; and the
transmitter blue System ID display will illuminate. The blue System ID
display on the transmitter and receiver turns off after 30 seconds to
conserve battery power; the transmitter Power / Battery / Mute status
indicator will remain illuminated, indicating transmitter status.
To re-illuminate System ID display, press the Power / Mute switch.
Note: this will alter the transmitter mute status. A slight touch of the
power switch toggles between muted and unmuted operation.
The transmitter’s Power / Battery / Mute status indicator glows red
when transmitter is muted, or green to indicate unmuted status. In a
low-battery situation, the Power / Battery / Mute status indicator begins
to blink.
The transmitters have a soft-touch power switch. When the switch is
set to “Mute” (red indicator LED), the transmitter produces RF with
no audio signal. When the switch is “On” (green indicator LED) the
transmitter produces both RF and audio. Excessive audio input to the
transmitter will cause the receiver’s red AF Peak indicator to light.
Receiver Attenuator
Typically, the receiver Audio Output Attenuator switch should be set
at 0dB, and the overall gain should be adjusted from the camera. If a
camera lacks that capability or if sensitivity is too high, use the Audio
Output Attenuator switch to reduce the gain until the signal does
not distort.
Input Level Adjustment
Input trimmer controls in the transmitters enable you to maximize
performance for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to
adjust for different acoustic input levels.
Adjusting Input Level — UniPak® Transmitter
Slide the battery cover off the transmitter and remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Using the screwdriver, gently turn the “VOL” (Volume
– Microphone/Instrument Level) all the way up (clockwise, toward
“H”). Check for excessive gain by speaking / singing into the
microphone at typically loud levels while watching the receiver’s
Peak Indicator. If the Peak indicator does light, turn the “VOL” control
slightly counterclockwise until the Peak indicator no longer lights with
maximum audio input to the transmitter.
Adjusting Input Level — Handheld Transmitter
Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it off, exposing the screwdriver
and "LEVEL" (Gain Trimmer) control (Fig. C). Remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Gently turn the "LEVEL" control to its full clockwise
position (toward the side marked “H”), the factory setting. Check for
excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at typically loud
levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak
indicator does light, turn the "LEVEL" control slightly counterclockwise
until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input
to the mic/transmitter.
Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower body.
No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as
the acoustic input does not change signicantly.
CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the
supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal
190° range of rotation.
Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.
Setting System ID Number & Pairing your Transmitter and Receiver
Your system has been precongured at the factory to operate with no
other pairing setup required; it will work out of the box. That is, your
receiver and transmitter are already a digital pair, and they have been
assigned the same System ID number.
The pairing instructions outlined below will help you if you nd
it necessary to change system ID numbers in multiple-system
congurations, or pair a new transmitter to an existing receiver.
NOTE: System ID is an identical number assigned to a paired
receiver and transmitter for identication purposes. The System ID
number is not related to transmitting frequency. Due to the dynamic
nature of System 10 automatic frequency selection, the actual
transmitting frequencies may change during power-up or performance.
These frequency changes are seamless and imperceptible to the ear.
Single System — Pairing/System ID Instructions
Note: Up to eight transmitters can be paired with a single receiver,
however the multiple transmitters cannot be used simultaneously.
1. Turn on the receiver and the rst transmitter
2. Press the System ID button on the receiver to choose an ID number.
The receiver’s display will show the new ID and begin to blink.
3. Within 15 seconds, press the Pair button on the receiver. Hold it
for a second. The Pair light will blink green. The receiver is now in
Pair mode.
Note: If the Pair button isn’t pressed within 15 seconds, the system
ID number will revert to its earlier setting.
4. Open the transmitter. Press and hold its Pair button within 30
seconds of entering Pair mode. The transmitter display will show
the System ID number chosen on the receiver. If the pairing is
successful, the Pair light will glow steadily on the receiver.
5. To pair an additional system, turn off the rst transmitter by pressing
and holding its Power/Mute button. Turn on the second transmitter
and repeat steps 2-4. Be sure to assign a different ID number to
each transmitter. Turn off all paired transmitters before adding
another one.

Multiple Systems — Pairing/System ID Instructions
Note: Up to eight systems may be used together without any
frequency coordination problems or group selection issues.
1. Turn the rst receiver and rst transmitter on.
2. Push the System ID button on your rst receiver to choose an ID
number from 1 to 8. The receiver’s display will show your new ID
and begin to blink.
3. Within 15 seconds, push and hold the Pair button on your rst
receiver for about one second. The pair light will begin to blink
green. Your rst receiver is now in Pair mode.
Note: If the receiver pair button is not pushed within 15 seconds,
the system ID number will revert to its previous setting.
4. Open your rst transmitter and push its Pair button within 30
seconds* of entering Pair mode. The rst transmitter display
will now show the System ID number you have chosen for your
rst receiver. The Pair light will glow steady, indicating you have
successfully paired your rst system.
5. Repeat for each additional system, identifying each system with its
own unique ID number.
Note: While unique System ID numbers are not required, we
recommend assigning unique System ID numbers for each transmitter-
receiver pair. As noted previously, System ID numbers are not related to
transmitter frequency; they are provided for user convenience only.
*If transmitter pair button is not pushed within 30 seconds, the system
will revert to its previous settings.
Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results
1. Use only fresh alkaline or fully charged replaceable batteries for the
transmitter.
2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions
between it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight
is best.
3. The transmitter and the receiver should be as close together as con-
veniently possible, but not less than 6' (2 m).
4. While System 10 has been designed to conveniently mount on
cameras, please keep other wireless devices (including wireless
systems and routers) away from System 10 receivers. For best
performance, some routers and Wi-Fi-based wireless systems may
need to be up to 30 feet away from System 10 receivers.
5. The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal.
6. Use the transmitter level control to optimize performance for your
sound source.
7. If the receiver output is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio
of the system may be reduced. Conversely, if the Attenuator of the
receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the camera/
mixer, causing distortion. Adjust the output level of the receiver so
the highest sound pressure level going into the camera/mixer causes
no input overload, and yet permits the camera/mixer level controls
to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). This
provides the optimum signal-to-noise for the entire system.
8. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if the
transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
9. Unplug the receiver from the AC outlet when the system is not
in use.
System Operating Frequencies
Automatic Frequency Selection
System 10 wireless systems operate in automatically selected frequen-
cies in the 2.4 GHz range, far from TV and DTV interference. Up to eight
channels may be used together without any frequency coordination
problems or group selection issues. Every time a receiver/transmitter
pair is powered on, it automatically selects clear frequencies. Due to
the dynamic nature of System 10 automatic frequency selection, these
transmitting frequencies may change during power-up or performance if
interference is encountered. These frequency changes occur at both the
receiver and transmitter; they are seamless and imperceptible to the ear.
