WARNING: Changes or modications 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.
This equipment 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.
Cet équipement est 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.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This 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 cover. Refer servicing
to qualied service personnel. No userserviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or
moisture. The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for
optimum performance and compliance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the
receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. If battery dies, send receiver to
Audio-Technica or other qualied service center so battery can be replaced with same or
equivalent type. Likewise, send damaged, inoperable receivers to Audio-Technica or other
qualied service center for recycling—do not throw away receiver as its battery contains
toxic materials.
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)
which are unlikely to cause difculty, especially if they are at least a few inches away.
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.

Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless
system. You have joined thousands of other satised customers who
have chosen our products because of their quality, performance and
reliability. This wireless microphone system is the successful result of
years of design and manufacturing experience.
Audio-Technica’s System 10 Portable Camera-Mount is a digital wireless
system designed to provide rock-solid performance along with easy
setup and clear, natural sound quality. Featuring a compact design,
System 10 Portable Camera-Mount is available in handheld, lavalier
and body-pack congurations. Operating in the 2.4 GHz range, far
from TV and DTV interference, System 10 Portable Camera-Mount
offers extremely easy operation and instantaneous channel selection.
Up to eight channels may be used together without any frequency
coordination problems or group selection issues.
System 10 wireless ensures clear communications by providing three
levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency
Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies
for interference-free communication. Time Diversity sends the signal
in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference.
Finally, Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and
receiver to maximize signal integrity.
Each System 10 professional digital wireless system includes a receiver
and camera shoe mount, and either a body-pack transmitter or a
handheld microphone/transmitter.
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-R1700 receiver 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 Installation
Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above the
ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize
reections. Keep the receiver antennas away from noise sources such
as other digital wireless equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away
from large metal objects. Keep System 10 receiver 30' (9 m) away from
wireless access points. In multi-channel systems, position receivers at
least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from
the receivers to help assure maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The ATW-R1700 has a single audio output jack that accepts the 3.5 mm
(1/8") cable included in the package.
Use the Audio Output Selector Switch to choose between a balanced
and an unbalanced dual mono signal.
The 3.5 mm (1/8") Headphone Monitor output works with mono or stereo
headphones (the output sends a dual mono audio signal to stereo
headphones). Use the Headphone Level Control to adjust the volume.

11. Power Input: Connect the AC Power Supply adapter included in
the system to charge/operate the receiver.
Power Connection
NOTE: Use only the supplied AC adapter and power cord to power or
charge receiver. To use AC power, connect the power cord’s USB A-type
male port to the AC adapter and connect the Micro-USB B port to the
USB Power Input on the side of the receiver. Next, plug the adapter
into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz or 230 volt 50 Hz (depending on global
location) AC power outlet. The AC adapter and USB cable also charges
the receiver’s internal battery. Charge battery in an environment with
moderate temperature (41°F – 95°F). The system will not charge in
temperatures below 32°F or above 104°F in order to prevent potential
damage to battery. For safety and to conserve energy, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet when the system is not in use. Store
receiver in a cool place.
Antennas
For best reception, position the removable antennas in the shape of a
“V” so that both tilt 45°.
