INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the Nady UHF 16 wireless system, and congratulations on your choice. The Nady UHF 16 systems are by far the best performance and price value available in professional UHF wireless. Offering clear channel operation on the wide open, uncluttered UHF band for interference-free performance in any application or locale, the UHF 16 delivers 16 user switchable, frequency synthesized channels in pre-programmed groups in the 726 - 865 MHz range. The UHF 16 systems feature Nady's proprietary companding and low noise circuitry for an industry best 120 dB Dynamic Range, and the clearest, most natural sound available in wireless today. Using this Manual
Preliminary 01/02 This booklet gives instructions for the operation of the UHF 16 systems, including the UB-16 Bodypack Transmitter, and the UH-16 Handheld Microphone Transmitter. Please read this instruction booklet completely before operating your system, and refer to the Nady UHF 16 Frequency Guide for the frequency band(s) and channels utilized by your system. This manual will first explain the benefits of the UHF 16 and then will take you step by step on how to operate your new system. Each section will give you detailed information. Also, included in this manual is the frequency selection chart, complete system specifications, and servicing information. B. SYSTEM FEATURES UH-16 Transmitters Choice of transmitters: UH-16 handheld or UB-16 bodypack, both 16-channel selectable • UH-16 and UB-16 both operate on 2 AA batteries for the longest reliable and economical battery life. • UH-16 handheld is a sleek, durable unit with internal antenna (with no archaic, unattractive antenna protrusion) and the superior Nady DM-10D neodymium dynamic cartridge for clear, powerful audio, maximum feedback rejection, and minimal handling noise. • UB-16 bodypack is a versatile unit with unique 3-way input switch allowing it operation selectively as an instrument, lavalier mic, or headworn mic transmitter (with convenient DC phantom powering in the mic settings for condensers). An input level control allows optimal audio gain adjustment, and a locking 3.5 mm jack provides secure connection to the instrument cable, lavalier or headworn mic cord. • Both the UH-16 and UB-16 transmitters feature OFF/STANDBY/On controls, low battery LED indicators, and offer easy channel selection via UP/DOWN buttons and a 2-segment LED Channel display.
Preliminary 01/02 C. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UH-16 Handheld Microphone Transmitter 1. Powering the Transmitter Slide open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER (12) and remove, exposing the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (14). Insert 2 fresh AA ALKALINE BATTERIES (15), observing the correct polarity as marked, and slide the COVER back, closing the BATTERY COMPARTMENT. Two fresh alkaline AA Batteries can last up to 12 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that you replace the batteries after every 8-10 hours of use. All controls are at the base of the microphone. Turn on the UH-16 by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (15) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (16) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of dead or low batteries, the LED will either not go on at all, or will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be replaced with fresh ones. To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use. The channel number on the CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (18) will extinguish in 10 seconds. The activity indicator “ “ or “ “ LED will remain on. 2. Selecting the Operating Frequency In order for the system to operate properly the same channel (frequency of operation) must be selected for the UH-16 transmitter as was chosen for the UHF-16 receiver. Press either the UP or DOWN CHANNEL SELECT BUTTON (17) until the channel number indicated on the 2-segment CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (18) matches that of the UHF-16 receiver. 3. Selecting the Tone Squelch™ Mode Hold both the UP and DOWN BUTTONS (17) at the same time for 1 second. The Tone Squelch™ will cycle from On to Off. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION section below. 4. Locking the Keyboard To avoid accidental reconfiguration of the Channel setting or Tone Squelch™, the keyboard can be locked by holding both the UP and DOWN BUTTONS (17) at the same time for 3 seconds. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION section below. 5. Microphone Operation AAAA
Preliminary 01/02 The microphone is now ready to use. The RECEIVED RF LEVEL (11a) icon and either the A or B DIVERSITY STATUS ICONS (11b) on the UHF-16 receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. The receiver MUTE LED INDICATOR (X) should be off. When ready to speak, slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (15) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone Connection section of the above UHF-16 receiver instructions. (Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that acoustic feedback, howling or screeching, will be avoided.) The UHF-16 receiver is equipped with an AF DISPLAY (11c) icon, which displays up to 4 segments, depending on the strength of the audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the 4th bar segment of this display on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If this segment displays continuously, and/or distortion is heard, decrease the volume to the transmitter. Due to the wide available dynamic range, generally no adjustment will ever be needed for the transmitter input gain. There is a control under the mic ball assembly available for rare cases where it’s desirable to make an input gain adjustment. For instructions on how to access this internal control, please contact the Nady Systems Customer Service Department. See SERVICE section below. (Note: Attn handheld mic users. Microphone element can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it.) Cautions 1. Feedback Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that acoustic feedback, howling and screeching, will be avoided. Please also note the pickup pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Omnidirectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback, but pick up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers, require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as handheld or headworn models that are used close to the mouth. 2. Microphone Damage Note: headset and lavalier mic users. Microphone element can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it.) 3. No Audio If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute the transmitter must also be configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted.
Preliminary 01/02 3. No Audio If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute the transmitter must also be configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted. D.
