This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

This device complies with INDUSTRY CANADA R.S.S. 210, en conformité avec IC: RSS-210/CNR210. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference which may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. No user- serviceable parts inside.

•Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as fire, near heating units or in direct sunlight.

•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

•To prevent fire, do not place any naked flame sources (such as lighted candles) on the apparatus.

•To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus with newspaper, tablecloths, curtains etc.

•Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.

• Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

•Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.

•The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the AC adapter at any time. In case of emergency, disconnect the AC adapter quickly.

•Always consider environmental issues and follow your local regulations when disposing of batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat.

The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.

Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD devices:

Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output) which are unlikely to cause difficulty, especially if they are at least a few inches away. However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical device. Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.

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 Audio-Technica.

Thank you for choosing this Audio-Technica 3000 Series Frequency-agile True Diversity UHF Wireless System.

The 3000 Series wireless system is available in six UHF frequency bands to provide flexible performance in a wide variety of regions worldwide:

	Frequency Range	Number of frequencies
Band C	541.500 – 566.375 MHz	996
Band D	655.500 – 680.375 MHz	996
Band E	795.500 – 820.000 MHz	981
Band F	840.125 – 864.900 MHz	953
Band G	721.500 – 746.375 MHz	996
Band I	482.000 – 507.000 MHz	1001
Band U	606.000 – 631.000 MHz	1001

The band letter reference at the end of 3000 Series Stock Numbers indicates what band the system/component operates in. For simplicity, model numbers used throughout this manual will reference only the basic model number without the band indications.

Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a body-pack or handheld transmitter. UniPak® body-pack transmitter systems may include an accessory microphone for a particular application. All A-T Wireless Essentials® microphones and cables, available separately, are pre-terminated for use with any Audio-Technica 3000 Series wireless system.

All 3000 Series components feature soft-touch controls for quick, easy access to a formidable range of functions; an LCD information display in each unit provides convenient visual indication of unit settings and operation.

The ATW-R3100b receiver is equipped with automatic frequency scanning for easy setup. It also features true diversity reception. Two antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on the same frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously compares and selects the superior received signal, providing better sound quality and reducing the possibility of interference and dropouts. Soft-touch controls provide convenient access to a variety of functions, while a backlit LCD information display provides constant monitoring of system operation, including indication of the transmitter’s battery status. The receiver is half-width for a standard 1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount adapters are included. Two receivers can be mounted side by side, using an optional AT8630 joining-plate kit.

The versatile ATW-T310b UniPak® body-pack transmitter has both low- and high-impedance inputs, plus a bias connection for use with electret condenser microphones, as well as Hi-Z instrument pickups. In addition to its programmable functions, the transmitter features a three-position sliding cover to limit access, if desired, to just the Power/Mute button, or to cover all the controls, as appropriate for the application and user. The ATW-T341b handheld dynamic microphone/ transmitter features the same element used in the Artist Elite® AE4100 dynamic handheld microphone created for professional livesound venues. The ATW-T371b handheld condenser microphone/transmitter features the same element used in the Artist Series ATM710 cardioid condenser vocal microphone.

Transmitters in the 3000 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for economical operation and wide availability. The receiver and both transmitters have “fuel gauge” battery condition indicators with low-battery warnings.

An advanced Digital Tone Lock™ tone squelch system in the ATW-R3100b receiver opens only when a 3000 Series transmitter
