3. Setup Instructions
3.1 Receiver Placement and Antenna Connection
- Position the Receiver: Place the ATW-R2100c receiver in a location free from obstructions and away from potential sources of interference (e.g., computers, digital processors, large metal objects). For rack mounting, use the provided rackmount kit.
- Attach Antennas: Screw the two detachable UHF antennas onto the corresponding antenna connectors on the rear panel of the ATW-R2100c receiver. Ensure they are securely tightened. Position the antennas vertically for optimal reception.
- Power Connection: Connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC input jack on the receiver and then plug it into a standard AC power outlet.
3.2 Bodypack Transmitter Setup
- Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment of the ATW-T210c bodypack transmitter. Insert two fresh AA alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Connect Microphone: Plug your 4-pin cW-style microphone (e.g., lavalier, headworn) into the input jack on the bodypack transmitter. Ensure the connector clicks into place.
- Power On: Press and hold the power button on the bodypack transmitter until the indicator light illuminates.
3.3 Frequency Synchronization
Follow the receiver's display and controls to select an available channel and synchronize it with the bodypack transmitter. Refer to the receiver's specific instructions for detailed frequency scanning and pairing procedures.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off
- Receiver: The receiver powers on automatically when connected to power. Use the front panel power button if available, or disconnect the AC adapter to power off.
- Transmitter: Press and hold the power button on the bodypack transmitter to turn it on or off. The LED indicator will show power status.
4.2 Adjusting Audio Levels
Adjust the output level on the ATW-R2100c receiver to match the input requirements of your mixing console or amplifier. Start with a low level and gradually increase it to avoid distortion. The bodypack transmitter typically has a gain control for the microphone input; adjust this to prevent clipping at the source.
4.3 Monitoring Performance
Regularly check the RF and AF indicators on the receiver. A steady RF signal indicates good wireless connection. The AF indicator should fluctuate with audio input. If the RF signal is weak or intermittent, reposition the antennas or the transmitter.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the receiver and transmitter. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in the bodypack transmitter when the low battery indicator appears or when performance degrades. Always use fresh, high-quality AA alkaline batteries. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period.
- Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
