Transmitter Setup
Battery Selection and Installation
Each transmitter uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline
type is recommended; other types of 1.5V AA batteries (including
rechargeable) may be used, however performance may vary. Always
replace both batteries. Make certain the transmitter power is Off before
replacing batteries.

Transmitter Battery Installation
1. Open the battery compartment door as follows:
Slide door lock down to the unlocked position. Pinch the release
arrows together to open the compartment. (Fig. J)
2. Observe correct polarity as marked on the metal contacts on the
door and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (Fig. K).
3. Close the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in place.
4. Slide the door lock up to the locked position.

Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation
1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window), grasp
the upper part of the transmitter body just below the grille and
unscrew it at least four complete turns (Fig. G); then slide the
lower body cover down until it stops (Fig. H). Once the cover
has been lowered, turn the transmitter over to reveal the battery
compartment on the side opposite the LCD window.
2. Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment
and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA batteries (Fig. L). Insert the
rst battery and slide it down. Then insert the second battery,
bottom rst, into the space remaining. Make certain the batteries
are fully seated in the battery compartment.
3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw the
housing together. Do not overtighten.
Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting at
the bottom (– end) of the top battery (Fig. L). The top (+ end) of the
top battery is captured in a recess and will not come straight out.
Battery Condition Indicator
After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by pressing and
holding the Power/Mute button. The small power-on LED (Fig. E/F)
should light green and the LCD window should come on. If this does
not happen, the batteries are installed incorrectly or they are dead.
The transmitter’s “fuel gauge” battery indicator displays a maximum of
four bar segments. When it ashes “LOW.BAT”, the batteries should
be replaced immediately to ensure continued operation. (The receiver
also displays transmitter battery condition in the LCD window with
bar segments; the Alert indicator comes on to warn of a low-battery
condition.)

Transmitter Input Connection
Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the audio
input jack on the transmitter. A number of Audio-Technica professional
microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with
a UniPak input connector. The cable connector latches automatically
when inserted into the transmitter jack. To unlatch and remove the
connector, simply pull up on the connector’s knurled metal collar.

Transmitter Antenna
The UniPak transmitter includes a eld-replaceable exible antenna.
For best results, allow the antenna to extend to its full length from the
transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different
transmitter positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning
the receiver or using remote receiver antennas. Since the transmitter
antenna simply screws in, check it occasionally to make certain it
is snugly attached (nger-tight). Do not change the length of the
transmitting antenna.
Handheld Transmitter Antenna
The antenna for the handheld mic/transmitter is in the black,
non-metallic section at the bottom of the unit (Fig. F). For best results,
hold the mic/transmitter naturally, around its painted metal case;
holding or otherwise covering the antenna housing may reduce the
operating range.

Transmitter Mounting Clip
The UniPak transmitter’s mounting clip may be installed with the case
positioned either “up” or “down,” depending upon which is preferred
for the application. To turn the clip around, pull the ends of the clip
out of the two holes on the sides of the transmitter case (Fig. E) and
reinstall it facing in the opposite direction.
