16Artist Elite ® 4000 & 5000 Series Professional UHF Wireless SystemsTransmitter SetupBattery Selection and InstallationEach transmitter uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkalinetype is recommended. Always replace both batteries. Make certainthe transmitter power is Off before replacing batteries.UniPak ® Transmitter Battery Installation1. Open the battery compartment door as follows: Slide door lockdown to the unlocked position. Pinch the release arrows togetherto open the compartment. (Figure H)2. Observe correct polarity as marked on the metal contacts on thedoor and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries(Figure J).3. Close the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in place.4. Slide the door lock up to the locked position.Fig. HHandheld Transmitter Battery Installation1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window),grasp the upper part of the transmitter body just below the grilleand unscrew it at least four complete turns (Figure K); then slidethe lower body cover down until it stops (Figure L). Once thecover has been lowered, turn the transmitter over to reveal thebattery compartment on the side opposite the LCD window.2. Observe correct polarity as marked inside the batterycompartment and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkalinebatteries (Figure M). Insert the first battery and slide it down.Then insert the second battery, bottom first, into the spaceremaining. Make certain the batteries are fully seated in thebattery compartment.3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw thehousing together. Do not overtighten.Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting at thebottom (– end) of the top battery (Figure M). The top (+ end) of thetop battery is captured in a recess and will not come straight out.Door LockFig. JFig. KReleaseArrowsBattery Condition IndicatorAfter the batteries are installed, turn the power on by pressing andholding the Power/Mute button. The small dual-color Power/MuteLED (see Figure P/Q on page 17/18.) should light and the LCDwindow should come on. If this does not happen, the batteries areinstalled incorrectly or they are dead. The transmitter’s “fuel gauge”battery indicator displays a maximum of four bar segments. Whenthe LCD flashes “LOW.BAT”, the batteries should be replacedimmediately to ensure continued operation. (The receiver alsodisplays the transmitter’s battery condition in the LCD window withbar segments; the Alert indicator and a flashing “LOW.BAT” comeon to warn of a low-battery condition.)UniPak Transmitter Input ConnectionConnect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to theaudio input jack on the transmitter. A number of Audio-Technicaprofessional microphones and cables are available separately, preterminatedwith a UniPak input connector. The cable connectorlatches automatically when inserted into the transmitter jack. Tounlatch and remove the connector, simply pull up on the connector’sknurled metal collar.Fig. LFig. MUp/Down ArrowsLCD WindowSet ButtonSETPower/Mute LEDSerial NumberUniPak Transmitter AntennaThe AEW-T1000a transmitter includes two field-replaceable antennas.A flexible-wire antenna is supplied mounted on the transmitter, whilea separate short, helical antenna is supplied with the accessories.Either antenna simply screws into the transmitter’s antenna fitting.Check the installed antenna occasionally to make certain it is snuglyattached (only finger-tight). The helical antenna is more convenientphysically but may not have the operating range of the wireantenna. The wire antenna should extend, at its full length, fromthe transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment withdifferent transmitter positions on your body or instrument; try thewire antenna; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt tomodify either transmitting antenna. Replace them only with the sameparts, available from the Audio-Technica Service Department.Start from this endto remove batteries
17Artist Elite ® 4000 & 5000 Series Professional UHF Wireless SystemsHandheld Transmitter AntennaThe antenna for the handheld mic/transmitter is in the black, nonmetallicsection at the bottom of the unit (see Figure Q on page 18).Note: For best results, hold the mic/transmitter naturally, aroundits painted metal case. Holding or otherwise covering the antennahousing may reduce operating range.UniPak Transmitter Mounting ClipThe UniPak transmitter’s mounting clip may be installed with thecase positioned either “up” or “down,” depending upon whichis preferred for the particular application. To turn the clip around,spring the ends of the clip out of the two holes on the sides of thetransmitter case (Figure P) and reinstall it facing in the oppositedirection.Transmitter Controls and FunctionsRefer to Figures H through Q for an overview of transmitterfunctions and controls.Fig. NTouch:A momentary press of the Set button.Hold:A press and hold (about two seconds) of the Set button.LCD WindowThe backlit Liquid Crystal Display presents a great deal of setup andoperating information clearly and conveniently (Figure N). The LCDin the transmitters is designed for greatest contrast and best viewingwith the window rotated somewhat away from the viewer (about30 degrees), not straight-on, for a more convenient holding/viewingposition.N-1. Normal Operation* AEW-T1000a only: “INST”t*N-2. Operation with Mute OnFlashingttPower/Mute ButtonThe transmitters have a combination Power and Mute switch (FigureP/Q). When used in combination with the programmed choicesexplained below, the various functions available to the transmitteruser may be tailored to fit personal preferences or particularsituations.N-3. Menu Mode (Frequency)N-4. Edit Mode (Frequency)Power On/OffTo turn the transmitter on, hold the Power/Mute button until thedual-color Power/Mute LED lights green and the backlit LCD windowcomes on (about 1–2 seconds). The operating frequency shows inthe window after the power-up sequence.To turn the transmitter off, hold the Power/Mute button again,until the dual-color Power/Mute LED and the LCD window areextinguished (about 1–2 seconds). The LCD window shows “PWR.OFF” before shutdown.Mute On/OffWhen the transmitter is muted, it produces RF with no audio signalmodulation. When the transmitter is un-muted, it produces both RFand audio.Fig. PLCD WindowAntennaPower/Mute LEDAudio Input JackTo mute the transmitter (cut off the audio, but continue the RFoutput), touch the Power/Mute button once. The Power/Mute LEDturns red, and a small “MUTE” appears in the LCD window, justbelow the frequency (Figure N-2).To un-mute the transmitter (restore the audio), touch the Power/Mute button once again. The Power/Mute LED turns green, and the“MUTE” disappears from the LCD window.Power/MuteButtonUp/DownArrowsSlidingControl Cover(3-position)AEW-T1000a UHF TRANSMITTERMounting ClipSet ButtonBattery Door
