RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE SCREWS.

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CERTIFICATION: THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH INDUSTRY CANADA LICENSE-EXEMPT RSS STANDARD(S). OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

Cet appareil est conforme à la/aux norme(s) CNR exempte(s) de licence d’Industrie Canada. Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas causer d’interférence et (2) cet appareil doit accepter toutes les interférences, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement non souhaité.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isot successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

WARNING: Changes or modications not expressly approved in writing by Audio-Technica may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

RF Exposure Statement: This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter used in other systems.

The ATW-RU13 complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation. (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.

Le ATW-RU13 conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une énergie RF très faible qui est considérée conforme sans évaluation de l ’exposition maximale autorisée. Cependant, il est souhaitable qu'il devrait être installé et utilisé en gardant une distance de 20 cm ou plus entre le dispositif rayonnant et le corps.

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil umerique de la classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver chassis cover. Refer

to rain or moisture. The circuits inside the chassis, receivers and transmitters have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the chassis, receivers or transmitters. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.

Notice to individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or AICD devices: Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy may interfere with normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless microphones have low-power transmitters (less than 0.05 watts output)

However, since a “body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical device. Note also that any medical-device disruption will cease when the RF transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have any questions, or experience any problems with the use of this or any other RF equipment.

using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects cause no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur

Because System 10 packaging is designed to hold all versions of the system, some compartments in the carton may be intentionally left empty.

The ATW-R1300 includes a switching power supply that automatically adapts to changes in mains voltage.

The versatile ATW-T1001 UniPak

body-pack transmitter has both a highimpedance input for instruments, and a low-impedance input with bias connection for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones. The ATW-T1002 handheld transmitter features a unidirectional dynamic microphone element.

Both the body-pack and handheld transmitters use internal AA batteries and have Power/Mute switches and input Trim (level) adjustments.

Receiver Unit Location

sight of transmitter and away from any large obstructions. Keep the receiver unit away from noise sources such as other digital wireless equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away from large metal objects.

Keep System 10 receivers 30' (9 m) away from wireless access points.

Output Connection

The ATW-R1300 is equipped with two audio outputs for each receiver: a balanced XLR-type output and an unbalanced ¼" TRS phone jack. Use shielded audio cable for the connection between the receiver and the mixer. If the input of the mixer is a ¼" jack, connect a cable from the ¼" unbalanced audio output on the back of the receiver chassis to the mixer. If the input of the mixer is an XLR-type input, connect a cable from the balanced XLR-type audio output on the back of the chassis to the mixer.

Power Connection

Connect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the DC power input on the back of the receiver chassis. Secure the cord over the cord hook on the chassis to keep the plug from being accidentally dislodged. Plug the adapter into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz AC power outlet. The receiver chassis is equipped with a power On/Off switch. Turn the power off when system is not in use, and unplug the power supply if you expect not to use the system for an extended period.

Antennas

For best reception, position the removable antennas in the shape of a “V” so that both tilt 45°.

Link Connection

When using multiple systems together it is strongly recommended

with each system. (Linking is not necessary if you are using only a single chassis.) Linking creates a much more stable environment in which receivers work together, with all receiving, transmitting and frequency allocation coordinated to prevent audio dropouts and enable simultaneous use of up to 10 channels. See “Linking Systems” on page 9 for more details.
