UHF 10 RECEIVER

1.Powering the Receiver

Plug the 12V AC/DC ADAPTER (12) provided into the DC INPUT JACK

(6) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.(Note: Any DC source with 300mA capability can also be used.) Press the POWER SWITCH (5) once to turn on the receiver. The POWER ON LED (1) will now light and the receiver is operational.

2.Antennas

Extend ANTENNAS (4) fully to obtain maximum range. Optimal antenna position is 45 degrees from the receiver (at 90 degrees from each other).

3.Squelch Adjustment

In normal operation, the SQUELCH CONTROL (8) should be set fully clockwise to the factory preset RF level (Max. Sens.). However, in areas of high RF activity, the squelch (or mute, as it is sometimes called) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with the transmitter off, the receiver's A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (2) flicker or stay on, the squelch control should be turned counterclockwise until the A and/or B LEDs extinguish. When the squelch is properly adjusted, the A and/or B LEDs will only light when the system transmitter is turned on. Turning the squelch control too far counterclockwise will reduce the range, but yield a quieter squelch (mute) function.

During operation, especially at ranges greater than 75 feet, one or the other of the A or B LEDs may extinguish briefly. This is normal–the unit's DigiTRU Diversity™ reception ensures that the received audio will not be interrupted. When both LEDs extinguish, the transmitter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the receiver to re-establish the radio link.

4.Connecting the Audio Output

The UHF 10 receiver provides both a fixed mic level BALANCED MIC AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (11) and an adjustable line level AUX AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4" jack (10).

(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.)

Instrument Connection (using the UB-10 transmitter in the "Instrument" setting)

Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the AUX AUDIO OUTPUT JACK (10) on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. Adjust the AUX VOLUME CONTROL (9) on the UHF-10 receiver clock- wise to about 3/4 full, until the volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to MAX will provide 4dB gain over a cord.
