Professional UHF Wireless Systems Installation and Operation This device complies with EN300 422-1, EN301 489-09 (EMC) and EN60065. The ATW-R160, ATW-T161, ATW-T162 and ATW-T163 are intended to be used in all countries of the European Union. Please note : Frequency usage is different for each country. Your AudioTechnica agent will have all the necessary details on the available legal frequencies for your area. CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover.
Receiver Installation Location For best operation the receiver should be at least 1 m above the ground and at least 1 m away from a wall or metal surface to minimise reflections. The transmitter should be at least 1 m from the receiver, as shown in Figure A. Keep antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment, motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as large metal objects. Output Connections There are two audio outputs on the back panel: balanced (32 mV) and unbalanced (52 mV).
Receiver Controls and Functions Front Panel Controls and Functions (Figure. B) 1. POWER SWITCH/INDICATOR: Press switch on, and the "Power" indicator will light. 2. LCD WINDOW: Liquid Crystal Display indicates control settings and operational readings. See Figure D for examples. 3. TUNER OPERATION INDICATOR: Indicates which Tuner (A or B) has the better reception and is in operation. 4.
Transmitter Setup Battery Selection and Installation Each transmitter uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline type is recommended. Always replace both batteries. Make certain the transmitter power is Off before replacing batteries. UniPak™ Transmitter Battery Installation 1. Slide off the battery cover as shown in Figure E. 2. Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment, and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. 3. Replace the Battery cover (Figure.
System Operation Switch on the receiver. Do not switch on the transmitter yet. Receiver Squelch Selecting/Setting Frequency It’s usually best to start by setting the receiver’s frequency to determine there is no local interference on that frequency. Then, always make certain to set the transmitter to the receiver’s exact frequency. The receiver’s Tone Lock system squelches the audio only, permitting any RF energy on the frequency to show on the “RF” bar-meter.
System Operation Adjusting Input Level - Handheld Transmitter Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it downward, exposing the screwdriver and Trim control (Figure G and H). Remove the screwdriver and gently turn the Trim control marked "VR" (variable resistor) to its full counterclockwise position. While speaking /singing into the microphone at typically loud levels, carefully turn the VR control clockwise while watching the receiver’s AF Level indicator.
