4 Battery Selection An alkaline 9-volt battery is recommended. UniPak Transmitter Battery Installation 1. Slide off the battery cover as shown in Figure D. 2. Carefully insert a fresh 9V alkaline battery, observing correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment. The transmitter housing is designed to prevent incorrect installation of the battery. Do not force the battery in. 3. Replace the battery cover. Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation 1. While holding the upper part of the transmitter body just below the ball-screen, unscrew the lower body cover and slide it downward to expose the battery compartment. 2. Lift the white “battery keeper” arm, and insert a 9V alkaline battery. Be certain to observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment (Fig. E). The transmitter housing is designed to prevent incorrect installation of the battery. Do not force the battery in. 3. Replace the lower body cover. Do not overtighten.

The battery condition indicator LED (Fig. G/H) should flash momentarily. If it does not, the battery is installed incorrectly or it is dead. If the indicator LED stays on (does not flash), the battery voltage is low and the battery should be replaced. If this happens during use, replace the battery immediately to ensure continued operation. Input Connector Power Switch (Off/Standby/On) Battery Condition Indicator Antenna Fig. G Fig. H Battery Condition Indicator Power Switch (Off/Standby/On) UniPak Transmitter Input Connection Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the audio input connector on the bottom of the transmitter. A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak input connector (see “Optional System Accessories” on page 6). UniPak Transmitter Antenna The UniPak transmitter includes a permanently-attached flexible antenna. For best results, 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. Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the length of the transmitting antenna. ATW-T73 Handheld Transmitter Pad The ATW-T73 offers a pad switch which increases the maximum SPL capability of the microphone by 6 dB. The switch is located under the wire-mesh grille near the base of the element. Handheld Transmitter Switch Cover The handheld systems include two switch cover labels that fit into the grooved recess on the bottom of the transmitter’s lower body cover. The switch cover label may be used to limit access to the power switch, or to hide the switch and battery condition indicator from view.
Turn down the AF Level of the receiver as well as the mixer. Switch on the receiver. Do not switch on the transmitter yet. Receiver On… The power indicator will light up and one of the tuner operation indicator LEDs (A or B) will light, even though the transmitter is not on. If any of the RF LEDs light up at this point, there may be RF interference in the area. If this occurs, select another frequency using the front-panel channel selectors. The channel display numbers will begin to flash alternately while changing channels. Once the desired numbers are displayed, press the “Set” button to engage the channel. Transmitter On… Before turning on the transmitter, use the provided screwdriver to set the transmitter channel selector switches (Fig. D/F) to the same numbers as those displayed on the receiver. The transmitter channel selector switch marked “X10” corresponds to the receiver‘s left-column channel display number, and the selector switch marked “X1” corresponds to the receiver‘s right-column channel display number. Always turn the transmitter off when changing frequencies. When the transmitter is switched on and in normal operation, the receiver’s RF signal level indicators will light up from left to right. For optimum performance at least four, and preferably five, of the signal strength indicators should light up when the transmitter is switched on. The transmitters have a three-position power switch. When the switch is set to “Standby,” the transmitter produces RF with no audio signal. When the switch is “On,” the transmitter produces both RF and audio. Setting Levels Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input, receiver audio output, and mixer/amplifier input and output levels is important for optimum system performance. • ATW-T73 and ATW-T76 Handheld Transmitters The 7000 Series handheld transmitters have factory pre-set audio input levels. 1. Set the receiver’s AF Level control to “0.” 2. Turn the transmitter on and power up the system. 3. Turn down the mixer’s input trim control (if provided) on the selected channel; make an initial adjustment of the mixer channel and output level controls that will allow audio through the system. 4. While speaking/singing into the microphone at typically-loud levels, adjust the mixer’s input trim control so the highest sound pressure level going into the microphone causes no input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the mixer’s level controls to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). NOTE: With the receiver’s AF Level set at “0,” its balanced output voltage will be similar to that of a typical wired microphone. However, the AF Level may need to be adjusted to accommodate some microphone inputs. • ATW-T75 UniPak Transmitter Trimmer adjustments in the UniPak transmitter (Fig. D) will enable you to use microphones or instruments with different output levels. 1. Set both the transmitter Mic Level (MT) and Guitar Level (GT) controls to their full counter-clockwise position (minimum). (The level control not being used should be set to minimum.) 2. Set the receiver’s AF Level control to “0.” 3. Plug the mic or instrument into the transmitter and power up the system. 4. For MIC: Make an initial adjustment of the mixer’s level controls that will allow audio through the system as you increase the transmitter’s Mic Level. System Operation For INSTRUMENT: Make an initial adjustment of the instrument amplifier input level control that will allow audio through the system as you increase the transmitter’s Guitar Level. 5. For MIC: While speaking/singing into the microphone at typically-loud levels, turn up the transmitter’s Mic Level (MT) control until the maximum audio output of the mic lights about three or four green LED segments on the receiver’s AF Level indicator. For INSTRUMENT: While playing the instrument at typicallyloud levels, turn up the transmitter’s Guitar Level (GT) control until the maximum audio output of the instrument lights about three or four green LED segments on the receiver’s AF Level indicator. NOTE: Do not set the transmitter level too high (as indicated by lighting of the red LED) – doing so will cause the system to overload and distort. 6. For MIC: Next, while again speaking/singing into the microphone at typically-loud levels, adjust the mixer’s input trim control so the highest sound pressure level going into the microphone causes no input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the mixer’s channel and output level controls to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). NOTE: With the receiver’s AF Level control set at “0,” the balanced output voltage will be similar to that of a typical wired microphone. However, the AF Level control may be adjusted to accommodate some microphone inputs – for example, those with limited-range or no input trim controls. For INSTRUMENT: Next, while again playing the instrument at typically-loud levels, adjust the receiver’s AF Level control so the highest signal level causes no input overload in the instrument amplifier, and yet permits the amplifier’s input level controls to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). NOTE: With some instrument amplifiers, the receiver’s AF Level control may need to be adjusted to between “0” and “+6” to better drive the amplifier. CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only a small screwdriver or alignment tool with a maximum 3 /32"-wide blade. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal 260° range of rotation. Receiver Squelch The squelch control on the back panel of the receiver is preset at the factory, but can be adjusted if you must use the system in an area with considerable RF interference. If there is interference in the audio, and changing the channel is not an option, adjust the squelch control so the system will receive the signal from your transmitter but will “squelch” or eliminate the unwanted background RF noise. This adjustment can cause a reduction in useable range of the wireless transmitter, so set the control to the lowest position that reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals. RF Interference Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services. According to Federal Communications Commission regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any interference is received by any Government or non-Government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation...” If you need assistance with operation or frequency selection, please contact your dealer or the Audio-Technica professional division. Extensive wireless information also is available on the Audio-Technica Web site at www.audio-technica.com. 5
