The default setting is “RF LOW”. While the High setting normally provides maximum operating range, the Low setting will help extend battery life. The Low setting mayalso be preferred in multichannel systems, or when operating very close to the receiver, toreduce the possibility of interference or receiver RF overload.Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input, receiver audio output, and mixer/amplifier inputand output levels is important for best performance.A 5-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, allows you to matchthe audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion. The choicesare +18, +12 dB, +6 dB, 0 dB and -6 dB. The default value is +6 dB. Select the highest settingthat does not result in over-modulation with the highest audio/instrument input levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than “0”).When the transmitter is muted, it produces RF with no audio. When the transmitter is un-muted, it produces both RF and audio. To mute the transmitter (cut off the audio, but continue the RF output), press and release the Power/Mute button once. The word “MUTE”will appear in the LCD window, just below the frequency, and the Power-on LED will turn red. To un-mute the transmitter (restore the audio), press and release the Power/Mute button onceagain. The “MUTE” will disappear from the LCD window, and the Power-on LED will turn green.The Power/Mute button can be programmed (through the function menu): power can be lockedOn; Mute can be locked either On or Off. Setting DescriptionNO.LOC The Power and Mute functions operate normally.ALL.LOC Both the Power and Mute functions are locked into their status as of the time “ALL.LOC” is applied. (Power On, and Mute either On or Off.) Note: “ALL.LOC” must be re-accessed and the setting changed to turn the transmitter off.MUT.LOC In “MUT.LOC” mode, the audio cannot be muted. The Power functioning is unaffected. (If “MUT.LOC” is applied while the transmitter is muted, pressing the Power/Mute button once will return to un-muted operation; thereafter the Mute function is disabled until the setting is changed again.)PWR.LOC Power is locked On as of the time “PWR.LOC”is applied. The Mute functioning is unaffected. Note: When in the “PWR.LOC” mode, the transmitter may be turned off by: (1) Re-accessing the .LOC Menu and changing the setting, or (2) Removing and re-installing the batteries. When the transmitter is turned on again, it will power-up in the “NO.LOC” mode. (Only the “PWR.LOC”function will change when batteries are removed; all other settings remain stored in memory.)If an attempt is made to take an action that currently is locked out, the LCD will display “LOC.KED” briefly, then return to its previously-displayed contents.The UniPak®body-pack transmitter provides input connections for both low-impedance (Lo-Z)microphones and high-impedance (Hi-Z) instruments. A wide range of Audio-Technica WirelessEssentials™microphones and cables are available pre-terminated with the appropriate professional latching connector (see page 13 ).Select the desired input – microphone or instrument – through the function menu; “MIC” or “INST” will show in the LCD window, just below the frequency.
13Operating the Transmitter (continued)1. A “PRESET” selection in the menu allows you to reset all transmitter functions to their factory-default values.2. Press the Set button once to move to Menu mode.3. Press the Up arrow twice to move to “PRESET” in the LCD window.4. Press the Set button once and “LOAD” will appear in the LCD.5. Press and hold the Set button until “DEF” appears in the LCD.6. Press and hold the Set button until “LOADED” appears briefly in the LCD. The window will then revert to “PRESET”.7. Press the Down arrow once to move to “QUIT”.8. Press the Set button once to exit the Menu mode and return to normal operation, with all factory-default settings restored.Tips for Best Results1. Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Always replace all batteries. Do not use “general purpose” (carbon-zinc) batteries.2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions between it and the normal location of the transmitters. Line-of-sight is best.3. The transmitters and the receiver should be as close together as conveniently possible, but no closer together than three feet.4. The receiver antennas should be in the open and away from any metal.5. Each transmitter-receiver pair must be set to the same frequency. 6. When using multiple systems, only one transmitter on a given frequency should be “on” at a time.7. If the “Out Level” of the receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the camera/mixer or clip the output of the receiver, causing distortion. Conversely, if the receiveroutput is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the system may be reduced.8. You need to change channels 1) when a strong interference signal is received, 2) when the channel breaks down, or 3) during multiple-system operation in order to select an interference-free channel. Always turn the units off before changing frequencies.9. Turn the receiver and transmitter off when not in use. Remove the batteries during long-term storage.Restore Default Settings
