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. Open the battery compartment door by sliding the catch

down (Fig. K). (If no batteries are inside, the door will not

spring open by itself.)

Observe correct polarity as marked on the metal

contacts on the door

and carefully insert two fresh

1.5V AA alkaline batteries (Fig. L).

3. Close the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in

place.

Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation

1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window),

grasp the upper part of the transmitter body just

below the

grille and unscrew it at least four complete turns (Fig. G);

then slide the lower body cover down until it stops (Fig. H).

Once the cover has been lowered, turn the transmitter

over to reveal the battery compartment on the side

opposite the LCD window.

Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery

compartment

and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA

alkaline batteries (Fig. M). Insert the first battery and slide

it down. Then insert the second battery, bottom first, into

the space remaining. Make certain the batteries are fully

seated in the battery compartment.

3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw

the housing together.

Do not overtighten.

Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting

at the

bottom (– end) of the top battery (Fig. M). The top

(+ end) of the top battery is captured in a recess and will not

come straight out.

Battery Condition Indicator

After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by pressing

and holding

the Power/Mute button. The small r

ed power-on

LED (Fig. E/F) should light and the LCD window should come

on. If this does not happen, the batteries ar

e installed incorrectly

or they are dead. The transmitter’s “fuel gauge” battery

indicator displays a maximum of four bar segments. When it

flashes

“LOW.BAT”, the batteries should be replaced immedi-

ately to ensure continued operation. (The receiver also displays

transmitter battery condition in the LCD window with bar

segments; the Alert indicator comes on to warn of a low-battery

condition.)

UniPak Transmitter Input Connection

Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to

the audio input jack on the bottom of the transmitter. A number

of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are

available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak input connec-

tor (see “Optional System Accessories” on page 12). The cable

connector latches automatically when inser

ted into the transmit-

ter jack. To unlatch and remove the connector, simply pull up on

the connector’s knurled metal collar.

UniPak Transmitter Antenna

The UniPak transmitter includes a field-replaceable flexible

antenna. For best r

esults, allow the antenna to hang freely and

full length from the bottom of the transmitter. If the received

signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter

positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning the

receiver or using remote receiver antennas. Since the

transmitter antenna simply screws in, check it occasionally to

make cer

tain it is snugly attached (finger-tight).

Do not change

the length of the transmitting antenna.

Handheld T

ransmitter Antenna

The antenna for the handheld mic/transmitter is in the black,

non-metallic section at the bottom of the unit (Fig. F). For best

results, hold the mic/transmitter naturally, around its painted

metal case; holding or otherwise covering the antenna housing

may affect operating range.

UniPak Transmitter Mounting Clip

The UniPak transmitter’s mounting clip may be installed with

the case positioned either “up” or “down,” depending upon

which is preferred for the application. To turn the clip around,

spring the ends of the clip out of the two holes on the sides of

the transmitter case (Fig. E) and reinstall it facing in the opposite

direction.
