1:Antennas (A and B) - The antenna mountings allow full rotation for optimum placement. In normal operation, both Antenna A (the antenna on the left) and Antenna B (the antenna on the right) should be placed in a vertical position. Both antennas can be folded inward for convenience when transporting the UR1. See the “Setting Up and Using the Series One System” section on page 8 in this manual for more information about antenna installation and positioning.

2:AF (Audio Frequency) Level control - This knob sets the level of the audio signal being output through both the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel. Reference level is obtained when the knob is turned fully clockwise (to its “10” setting).

3:Peak LED - This LED lights yellow when output signal from the UR1 is at the onset of clipping (that is, when it is on the verge of being distorted). If you see this light during operation, move the microphone further away or lower the output level of your instrument or transmitter. For more information, see the section entitled “Setting Up and Using the Series One System” on page 8 in this manual.

4:A/B Receiver LEDs - When signal is being received, one of these will be lit green, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver is currently being used. The UR1 constantly scans its two antennas and automatically selects whichever is receiving the strongest, clearest signal. This True Diversity switching is completely inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtually eliminating potential interference and phase cancellation problems.

5:RF (Radio Frequency) Level meter - This five-segment meter (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of the UHF signal being received. When all segments are lit, the incoming RF signal is at optimum strength; when only the left-most segment is lit, the incoming RF signal is at minimum strength. If no segments are lit, no signal is being received; check to ensure that the transmitter is on and that it is set to the same channel as the UR1. See the “Setting Up and Using the Series One System” section on page 8 in this manual for more information.

6:Power LED - This lights red whenever the UR1 is turned on.

7:Mute (squelch) control - This control determines the maximum range of the UR1 before audio signal dropout. Although it can be adjusted using the supplied plastic screwdriver, it should normally be left at its factory setting. See the “Setting Up and Using the Series One System” section on page 8 in this manual for more information.

8:Power switch - Use this to turn the UR1 power on and off. When the receiver is on, the Power LED (see #6 above) is lit.
