System 10 Installation and Operation2Notice 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 difculty, 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.Important Safety Instructions1.

System 10 Installation and Operation 3Because 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 InstallationLocationFor 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 reections. 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.VOLUME UNBALANCEDBALANCEDDC 12V IN500mAMIN. MAX.1 124 63 51 2 3 4 5Output ConnectionThere 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 ConnectionConnect 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.)AntennasRotate the permanently attached antennas in the shape of a “V” (both 45° from vertical) for best reception.ATW-R1100 Receiver Controls and FunctionsFigure A — Front Panel Controls and Functions1.

System 10 Installation and Operation6System OperationTurn down the receiver volume control and the mixer/amplier 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 VolumeUnder 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 amplier.Input Level AdjustmentInput 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 TransmitterSlide 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 TransmitterUnscrew 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 signicantly. 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 precongured 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 congurations, or pair a new transmitter to an existing receiver. NOTE: System ID is an identical number assigned to a paired receiver and transmitter for identication 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 10 Installation and Operation 7For future reference, please record your system information here (the serial number appear on each transmitter, and on the bottom of each receiver): Receiver Model ATW-R1100 Serial Number Transmitter Model ATW-T100 Serial Number1 or 2System FrequenciesNote: 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 Results1. 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 FrequenciesAutomatic Frequency SelectionSystem 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.
