Nady Systems UHF 10 manual UB-10 BODYPACK TRANSMITTER

UB-10 BODYPACK TRANSMITTER

1.Slide open the hinged BATTERY COMPARTMENT (18) and insert a fresh 9V ALKALINE BATTERY (19), observing the correct polarity. A fresh alkaline battery can last up to 10 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that the battery be replaced after 7-8 hours of use.

2.The UB-10 is equipped with an INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH (20) in the battery compartment for selecting the type of audio input you will be supplying to the transmitter. Select from the choice of three positions:

INSTRUMENT (for guitar, bass, etc.)/ HEADWORN MIC/ LAVALIER MIC.

3.The UB-10 is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (21) for connect- ing the audio input selected. Connect either the INSTRUMENT CORD (22) or the HEADWORN MIC (23) or LAVALIER MIC CORD (24) as desired, according to the input selected. (Note: Use only the input audio source as per the input selected with the AUDIO INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH or the audio will not be optimal–a muddy or distorted sound may result.) To secure the connection, turn the slip ring on the plug clock wise to thread it on the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the transmitter into a pocket or CLIP (28) it on to your clothes or instrument strap (if using the UB-10 as an instrument transmitter). The CLIP can be rotated 900 if the transmitter is to be attached horizontally (instead of vertically) by loosening the screw holding the clip.

4.Turn on the UB-10 by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (25) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (26) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one. To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use. The transmitter is now ready to use. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICA- TORS (2) on the UHF 10 receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter.

5.Instrument Use

Plug the 1/4" phone plug from the INSTRUMENT CORD (22) into the instrument. As the cord to the instrument also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for maximum range. Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range. When ready to play, slide the audio OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (25) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Instrument Connections section of the above UHF 10 receiver instructions.

(Note: The INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (27) is deactivated and not used when the UB-10 is in INSTRUMENT mode. Levels should be adjusted with the volume control of your instrument.)

The AF PEAK LED INDICATOR (3) on the UHF 10 receiver will light for all loud input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use is normal, however if the LED stays on continuously, turn down the instrument volume or noticeable distortion may result.

(Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. There fore, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (22) has a factory installed capacitor inside the 1/4" plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them:

1)Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid–this is very important.

2)A 47pf capacitor soldered across the hot to ground terminals of the guitar's volume and tone pots will provide extra filtering.)

6.Microphone Use (with either a lavalier or headworn microphone) Secure the connection from the LAVALIER (24) or HEADWORN MIC CORD (23) by turning the slip ring on the plug into the transmitter clockwise to thread it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. To use the lavalier mic, attach it at chest level. Do not place it too close to the mouth–a distance of about six inches usually works best. To use the headworn mic, place it on the head and adjust the boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of the mouth. As the microphone cord also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully. Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range–keep it as straight as possible.

When ready to speak, slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (25) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone Connection section of the above UHF 10 receiver instruc-
