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.

years of design and manufacturing experience.
Audio-Technica’s System 10 is an eight-channel digital wireless system
designed to provide rock-solid performance along with easy setup
and clear, natural sound quality. Featuring stackable, contemporary
styling, System 10 is available in handheld, headworn, guitar, lavalier
and body-pack congurations. Operating in the 2.4 GHz range, far from
TV and DTV interference, System 10 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 either a body-pack transmitter or a handheld microphone/
transmitter. ATW-1101 UniPak® body-pack transmitter systems include
models pre-packaged with either an AT-GcW guitar cable (/G), a
PRO 8HEcW headworn microphone (/H), a PRO 92cW headworn
microphone (/H92), a PRO 92cW-TH headworn microphone (/H92-
TH), or an MT830cW lavalier mic (/L) for particular applications. All A-T

System 10 Installation and Operation
3
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-R1100 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.
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 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
There are two audio outputs on the back panel: balanced XLR-type
output and unbalanced ¼" TRS phone jack. Use shielded audio cable for
the connection between the receiver and the mixer. If the input of the
mixer is a ¼" jack, connect a cable from the ¼" unbalanced audio output
on the back of the receiver housing to the mixer. If the input of the
mixer is an XLR-type input, connect a cable from the balanced XLR-type
audio output on the back panel to the mixer.
Power Connection
Connect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the DC
power input on the back of the receiver. Secure the cord over the cord
hook on the back of the receiver, to keep the plug from being detached
by an accidental tug on the cord. Then plug the adapter into a standard
120 Volt 60 Hz AC power outlet.
(Note that the receiver has no power Off/On switch. The receiver will be
energized whenever the power adapter is connected and plugged into
the AC outlet. Unplug the power supply from the AC outlet when the
system is not in use — both for safety, and to conserve energy.)
Antennas
Rotate the permanently attached antennas in the shape of a “V” (both
45° from vertical) for best reception.

System Operation
Turn down the receiver volume control and the mixer/amplier
level before starting up the wireless system. Do not switch on the
transmitter yet.
Receiver on...
Plug the power supply into an AC power source. The blue System ID
number on the front panel will illuminate.
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 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 indicated 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 Volume
Under typical operating conditions, the receiver’s volume control should
be turned all the way up, with overall system audio gain adjusted at the
mixer or amplier.
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
1. Turn the receiver and transmitter on.
2. Push the System ID button on your 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 receiver
for about one second. The pair light will begin to blink green. Your
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 transmitter and push its Pair button within 30 seconds*
of entering Pair Mode. The transmitter display will now show the
System ID number you have chosen for your receiver. The Pair
Light will glow steady, indicating you have successfully paired
your system.
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.

System Frequencies
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 rechargeable batteries.
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 stack for convenient
multiple-system operation, 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. As some guitar pickups may be overly sensitive to magnetic
interference, please keep the System 10 UniPak
®
body-pack
transmitter at least 1 foot away from guitar pickups.
7. Use the transmitter level control to optimize performance for your
instrument, voice, or other sound source.
8. If the receiver output is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio
of the system may be reduced. Conversely, if the volume control
of the receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the
mixer/amplifier, causing distortion. Adjust the output level of the
receiver so the highest sound pressure level going into the
microphone (or the loudest instrument playing level) causes no
input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the 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.
9. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if
the transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
10. 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.
