Powering the 1000URX: The 1000UR>< uses one of several ‘external' sources for battery power. It can be powered by either the camera itself (if the camera model pro- vides an 11-15V DC output) or by an external battery pack. As the 1000URX draws approximately 250mA, an external battery pack that can provide 11-15V DC @ 3A should run the receiver for approximately 12 hours before needing to be recharged (current available divided by current drawn). When powering from either source a special cable will be required. This cable will have to be specifically wired for your particular camera or extemal battery pack. Power cables for many of the most popular cam- eras and external battery packs are available from yourdealerorAzden directly at 516.328.7500 or azdenus@aol.com via email. The DC Power connector [60] is a four-pin XLR type and is wired with pin 1 for negative (-) and pin 4 for positive (4). Pins 2 and 3 are not used. B. Mounting the 1000URX: To attach the 1000URX directly to the camera, use the included Velcro. After choosing an appropriate location on the camera, peel and attach the smooth surface (loop) portion of the Velcro directly to either side of the tOOOURX, then peel and attach the rough surface (hook) portion of the Velcro to the camera. For best reception try to mount the 1000URX in a location that keeps the antennas above and away from the camera body. Be sure the surfaces on the camera and 1000URX are clean and oil-free before attaching the Velcro. RECEIVER (1000URX) SETUP (continued) A. Attaching the antennas to the 1000URX: To attach the high-gain antennas to the iOOOURX, tit the BNC connec- toron the antenna to the receiver [®], press down and rotate clockwise. To remove the antennas, rotate the antenna's BNC connector counter- clockwise and pull up. B. Connecting an Output cable between the 1000URX and camera: It is necessary to connect the output of the lOOOURX [©] to the camera's ‘MIC’ or ‘Line' input by means of a properly wired cable (not supplied). The connector on the 1000URX is wired with pin 1 as Ground, pin 2 as Positive (+) and pin 3 as Negative (-). Set the OUTPUT Line/Mic switch on the iOOOURX i®1 to the appropriate position, matching the input on the camera that is used. C. Setting the receiving frequency on the 1000URX: Before the 1000URX can be used, it and the associated transmitter have to set to the same frequency. This can be accomplished on the reoeiverby firstsetting the LCD display to one of two views - ‘Frequency‘ or ‘Channel‘. To do this, after applying battery power, first turn the 1000UR>< to the ON position [CD]. Next, using the tip of a ballpoint pen, an unbent paper clip or something similar, press the MODE button [©] repeatedly until one of the two screens below appears.

Tapping the button steps the frequency or channel number one at a time while pressing and holding the button in moves through the frequencies or channel numbers rapidly. There are 121 different frequencies or channel numbers to chose from. Once the desired frequency or channel has been determined be certain to set both the transmitter and receiver to match. USING THE 1000URX RECEIVER’S CONTROLS AND DiSPLAY A. Power The POWER ON/OFF switch [®] turns the 1000URX On or OFF. To conserve battery life, it is best to turn the receiver ON only when it is actually being used. 8. Output Select either LINE or MC [0] depending on which input is being used on the camera. 0. Monitor This control [691 adjusts the output level (MIN to MAX) at the earphone monitor jack [®]. This is a 3.5 mm mono jack. D. LCD Display This display [63] shows several peices of information. As discussed pre- vtously, the frequency or channel number is shown. Additionally, as the 1000URX chooses which antenna is receiving the best signal, the ‘A‘ or ‘B‘ segment of the LCD display will illuminate. THE 1000URX RECEIVER’S CONTROLS AND DISPLAY (continued) THE 1000BT TRANSMITTER As the RF signal from the transmittergets stronger (orweaker) the num- ber of illuminated LCD segments in the display will change - with 3 seg- ments being the makimum and best. Similarly, the AF (audio level) seg- ments will light from 1 to 3 segments as the audio gets stronger orweaker. in this case the best level is achieved as the display shows between 2 and 3 segments. If all 3 segments stay illuminated for a continued pe» riod of time it is likely that you are over driving the receiver's input and you should reduce the transmitting level by either moving the micro phone further away from the sound source or reducing the input gain on the transmitter. THE 1000URXIAB The lOOOURX\AB is a specially developed version that integrates the Anton Bauer “Gold Mount“ to power the receiver All of the functions and controls on the 1000URX remain unchanged except for the method of powering the receiver. instead of the 4-pin XLR connector, the 1000URXlAB attaches between the camera and Anton Bauer battery pack using the "Gold Mount" system. Powering the 10UOBT Transmitter The 1000BT uses a single Alkaline 9V battery for power. The battery is placed in the battery compartment by sliding the battery compartment door [0] down and placing the battery in the compartment as shown in the illustration [9]. The compartment is designed to allow the battery to be inserted only one way - with the correct polarity. DO NOT FORCE THE BATTERY INTO THE COMPARTMENT. Azden does not recom- mend the use ol rechargeable batteries SETTING THE TRANSMITTING FREQUENCY ON THE 1000BT Before the tOOOBT can be used, it and the associated receiver have to set to the same frequency. This can be accomplished on the 10008T transmitter by first setting the LCD display to one of two views - ‘Fre- quency’ or 'Channel'. To do this, after installing a fresh battery, turn the 10008T to the ON position [®]. Next, using the tip of a ballpoint pen, an unbent paper clip or something similar, press the MODE bu ton [O] repeatedly until one of the two screens below appears. ‘ AF AF - ----- - ----- - “r’lD‘l‘rl-u'i I I-l_l i-u'nj - 1C J.L"Jl_l - r_r uUu WT—w BATT Using either the UP or DOWN button [tn] the desired receiving frequency or channel number can be set.

USING THE 1UUOBT TRANSMITTER’S CONTROLS AND DISPLAY A. Power The POWER ON/OFF switch [®] turns the 1000BT On or OFF. 8. Audio Prior to first turning the IOOOBT ON it is best to set the AUDIO switch [63] to ST BY (standby) When you are ready to begin transmitting, switch to ON The ST BY position acts as a 'mute’ that maintains the RF signal but turns off the audio. C. MIC This 4-pin Hirose connector [©] is the microphone input. Azden pro- duces a number of lapel, head-worn and neck~worn microphones that are specifically suited for the 10008T. In addition, other externally pow» ered (5VDC) electret condenser microphones can be used when they are properly wired with the correct Herosi connector (pin t is for audio +, pin 2 is not used, pin 3 is for bias voltage and pin 4 is ground). If you are using the 1000BT as a wireless instrument transmitter the connec- tions are somewhat different (pin 1 is not used, pin 2 is the audio +, pin 3 is for bias voltage and pin 4 is ground). DA Input Level Adjustment This screwdriver adjustment [Q] controls the input level of the micro- phone. Counterclockwise rotation reduces the input gain while clock- wise rotation increases the input gain. E. Belt Clip The metal beltclip [03] provides a convienent method of attaching the transmiiter to the user. F. Antenna The antenna [<2] should be kept clear of metal objects. G. Display In addition to showing the frequency and channel number, the display [®] also shows other useful information. AF BATT The LCD segments on the left show the approximate remaining battery G. Display (continued) life (from 1 to 3 segments) with 3 segments meaning maximum battery power. The bottom segment will blink when the battery power falls to less than 6.2V and indicates that it is time to replace the battery. Azden recommends the use of Alkaline batteries onty. Across the top of the display, up to 5 segments will illuminate depending on the strength of the transmitted audio signal » from 2 (weak) to 5 (strong). The first (left) segment will light when the STBY switch is tumed to ON. The best audio is achieved when 4 to 5 segments are lit If all 5 segments are lit continually, the signal is too strong and could overload the input of the receiver. Either move the microphone further away from the sound source or reduce the microphone input gain [in]. The display can also show the total number at hours of use (change to this display using the MODE [0] button), To start, after choosing the TIME mode, press the UP lib] button until the display shows 00:00. Then, each time the transmitter is turned ON the clock will keep track of the total hours and minutes used. This is a handy way of keeping track of battery life. THE 1000XT TRANSMITTER POWERING THE 1000XT TRANSMITTER The 1000XT uses a single Alkaline 9V battery for power.
