ATW-R1820 Dual-channel Receiver Batteries

 

 

 

Battery Selection

Each ATW-R1820 dual-channel receiver uses six 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline type is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

recommended. Always replace all batteries. Make certain the receiver power is Off before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replacing batteries. Note: The ATW-R1820 receiver also functions without batteries if connected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to an external power supply (12V DC source, 500 mA nominal current, not included).

 

 

 

Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment door by pushing the catch back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Observe correct polarity as marked and carefully insert six fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(see above).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Replace the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in place.

Battery Condition Indicator

After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by moving the Power Switch to either the 1 or

 

 

a

Both position. The small red power-on LED(s) (see(a) at left ) should light (red light at 1 if Power

 

 

 

Switch is in position 1; red light at 1 and 2 if Power Switch is in Both position) and the LCD window

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

should come on. If this does not happen, the batteries are installed incorrectly or they are depleted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The receiver’s ”fuel gauge” battery indicator (see(b) at left) displays a maximum of four bar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

segments. When LCD flashes ”LOW.BAT”, the batteries should be replaced immediately to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ensure continued operation. Note: Battery indicator is only visible in the ”Hold” position.

Operating the Receiver

NOTE: Receiver Channel 1 and Receiver Channel 2 must be set to different frequencies to

avoid interference. Transmitter-Receiver pairs must be set to identical frequencies: set Transmitter 1 to the same frequency as Receiver Channel 1; set Transmitter 2 to the same frequency as Receiver Channel 2.

Selecting Frequencies Overview…

on your Receiver 1. Turn the power on by moving the Power Switch to either the 1 position (for single-channel operation) or Both position (for dual- channel operation).

2. Switch the Dual-channel Control Switch to 1 (to set frequency for Receiver Channel 1) or 2 (to set frequency for Receiver Channel 2). Audio output is muted for the channel that is selected.

3. Press the Set button to enter the Frequency Selection Menu mode; the word ”MENU” will appear.

4. Use the Up/Down arrows to cycle through functions: - continously pressing the up key will cycle through the different scan groups till you reach Quit, allowing exit from Menu mode.

Dual-channel Operation First…

(using two transmitters) Turn the power on by moving the Power Switch to Both (for dual-channel operation). To set Setting Receiver Frequency Manually frequency for Receiver Channel 1, switch Dual-channel Control Switch to 1 (left position).

1. Press Set button. The word ”MENU” will appear. Press Up arrow to show current frequency. Press Set button and frequency will begin to flash; then use up and down arrows to adjust the frequency. Frequency changes in 25 kHz steps. To increase scroll speed, hold the Up or Down arrow for more than 4 seconds.

2. When you arrive at desired frequency, press and hold the Set button until the word ”STORED” appears. Frequency is now set.
