Setting Up and Using the
UHF Synth System
The general procedure for setting up and using your UHF Synth System is basically the same regardless of the particular components you are using (i.e. UT-5 or UH-5; UR-5 or UR-5D):
1.Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and mount the supplied “A” and “B” antennas to your receiver by inserting the BNC connector and twisting clockwise until snug.

We recommend that you place it as shown in the illustration above—as close to your mouth as possible but off to one side (to minimize nasality) and unobstructed by clothing. Bear in mind also that omni-directionalmicrophones (mics which pick up signal from all direc-
