OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

UH-16 Handheld Microphone Transmitter

1. Powering the Transmitter

Slide open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER (14) and remove, exposing the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (15). Insert 2 fresh AA ALKALINE BATTERIES (16), observing the correct polarity as marked, and slide the COVER back, closing the BATTERY COMPARTMENT.

Two fresh alkaline AA Batteries

(16)

can last up to 12 hours in use, but

in order to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended

(15)

that you replace the batteries after every 8-10 hours of use.

All controls are at the base of the

microphone. Turn on the UH-16 by (14) sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON

SWITCH (17) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED

(18)will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of dead or low batteries, the LED will either not go on at all, or will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be

replaced with fresh ones. If the Tone Squelch™ is activated on both transmitter and receiver, the LOW TX BATTERY ICON (11c) on the receiver’s LCD DISPLAY (11) will switch from the battery OK to the LOW battery mode. See CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION, page 15 and UHF-16

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, page 8. The channel

 

number on the CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (19) will

(19)

extinguish in 10 seconds. The activity indicator

(18)

“ ’’ or “ ’’ LED will remain on in the DISPLAY. See

CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON

 

OPERATION, page 15.

 

2. Selecting the Operating Frequency

In order for the system to operate properly, the same

 

 

 

channel (frequency of operation) must be selected for the

 

 

 

UH-16 transmitter as was chosen for the UHF-16 receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press either the UP or DOWN CHANNEL SELECT

(20)

 

(20)

BUTTON (20) until the channel number indicated on the

 

 

 

 

(17)

2-segment CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (19) matches that of

 

 

 

 

the UHF-16 receiver.

 

 

 

3. Selecting the Tone Squelch™ Mode/Activity Indicator

Hold both the UP and DOWN BUTTONS (20) at the same time for 1 second. The Tone Squelch™ will cycle from On to Off. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION, page 15.

(Note: If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute, the transmitter must also be configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted. The signaling tones are also used to indicate the transmitter battery status on the receiver BATTERY ICON (11c) display. If Tone Squelch™ is defeated, this function will not be operational.)
