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) which are unlikely to cause difficulty, 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

For simplicity, model numbers used throughout the manual will
reference only the basic model number without the “C” or “D”
band indications.
Each wireless system includes a receiver and either a bodypack or handheld transmitter. Individual components are also
available separately.
All 3000 Series components feature soft-touch controls for
quick, easy access to a formidable range of functions; an LCD
information display in each unit provides convenient visual
indication of unit settings and operation.
The ATW-R310 receiver features true diversity reception. Two
antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on
the same frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously
es and selects the superior received signal, providing
compar
better sound quality and reducing the possibility of interference
and dropouts. Soft-touch controls provide convenient access
to a variety of functions, while an LCD information display
provides constant monitoring of system operation, including
indication of the transmitter’s battery status. The receiver is
half-width for a standard 1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount
adapters are included. Two receivers can be mounted side by
side, using an optional AT8630 joining-plate kit.
The versatile ATW-T310 UniPak™ body-pack transmitter has
both low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection,
for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as
well as Hi-Z instrument pickups. In addition to its programmable
functions, the transmitter features a three-position sliding cover
to limit access, if desired, to just the Power/Mute button, or to
no controls, as appropriate for the application and user.
The ATW-T341 handheld dynamic microphone/transmitter
features the same element used in the Artist Elite
dynamic handheld microphone cr
sound venues.
Transmitters in the 3000 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for
economical operation and wide availability. The receiver and
both transmitters have “fuel gauge” battery condition indicators

light and the LCD window will come on (about 1-2 seconds).
The operating frequency will be displayed in the window after
the power-up sequence. To turn the receiver off, press the
Power switch again.
LCD Window
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) presents a great deal of setup
and operating information clearly and conveniently. (See Figure
D for examples.)
Up/Down Arrow Buttons
In conjunction with the Mode/Set button, the arrow buttons
permit moving through the menu of functions, and choice of
settings within each function.
Mode/Set Button
The Mode/Set button shifts the receiver from normal operation
into Menu mode and, in conjunction with the Up/Down arrow
buttons, permits selection of different features and changing of
their stored values in the Edit mode.
How to Make Setting Changes
1. From the normal operating mode, press the Mode/Set
button
once to enter the Function Menu mode. (Only the

Receiver Controls and Functions (Continued)
When the receiver is in the Menu or Edit mode, its audio
output is silenced. Once control-setting operations are
completed (or Escape is used), normal receiver operation
will resume with its audio output restored.
While in the Edit mode, if no action is taken for approximately 30 seconds (no buttons pressed), the receiver will
“back out” to the Menu mode. Similarly, after about 30
seconds of inaction in the Menu mode, the receiver will
“back out” to normal receiver operation with audio output
estored.
r
High-pass Filter
Internal high-pass filter circuitry may be set to four positions:
High-pass Off, or a 6 dB, 12 dB or 18 dB slope at 150 Hz. The
default setting is Off
high-pass filter further suppresses unwanted low frequencies,
while maintaining the frequency response in the desired audio
range.
Meter Hold Setting
When activated (“MH ON”), this function permits the
bar-meters in the LCD window to capture and display the
highest-level “AF” audio modulation (a solid bar) and the
lowest-level "RF" signal (a flashing bar) received from the
transmitter. This is particularly useful when setting up the
system initially, during a sound-check, or when diagnosing
operating problems. The default setting is Off
(“HP OFF”). Increasing the slope of the
(“MH OFF”).
When the Meter Hold is On, it is possible to reset it – to obtain
a new set of RF and AF readings – without turning it off-and-on

until the Alert light has turned on, then turned off.)
Digital Tone Lock™Squelch
The 3000 Series employs a unique Digital Tone Lock squelch
system that provides enhanced rejection of interference. In
addition to providing highly effective control of unwanted noise,
the Tone Lock signal from the transmitter also conveys data on
the transmitter’s battery condition and mute status back to the
receiver for display.
The squelch level is adjustable from 15 dB (the default value) to
42 dB in 3 dB steps. Increasing the squelch level – also called
“tightening the squelch” – can cause a reduction in useable
range of the wireless transmitter, so use the lowest value that
reliably mutes the unwanted RF signals. (If interference is a
problem, first consider trying a different frequency.)

Setting Levels
Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input, receiver audio
output, and mixer/amplifier input and output levels is important
for optimum system performance.
Set Transmitter Audio Input Level
A 4-position audio input gain setting, selected through the
function menu, serves to match the audio input level to the
transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion.
Available choices are +12 dB, +6 dB, 0 dB and –6 dB. The
default setting is +6 dB. Select the highest setting that does
not result in over-modulation with the highest audio/instrument
input levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than
“0”); watch the receiver’s “AF” bar-graph “+3/+6” indications
and the Alert light, to make certain that they are not triggered
by the highest audio levels.
The transmitter’s normally-on red LED power indicator will blink

level.

Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results
1. Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Do not use “general
purpose” (carbon-zinc) batteries.
2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible
uctions between it and the normal location of the
obstr
transmitter
The transmitter and the receiver should be as close
3.
. Line-of-sight is best.
together as conveniently possible, but no closer than
three feet (1 m).
4. Avoid placing the receiver in a low or shielded location
where the transmitter and receiver antennas are not
visible to each other. If necessary, use remotely-located
receiver antennas.
5. Avoid placing the receiver near computers or other RF
generating equipment.
6. The receiver and transmitter must be set to the same
equency.
fr
7. A receiver cannot receive signals from two transmitters
at the same time.
8. Do not obstruct the handheld transmitter’s antenna
(located at the base) or attached body-pack transmitter’
s
antenna with your hands.
You need to change frequencies 1) when a strong
9.
interference signal is received, 2) when audio quality is
poor due to weak RF, or 3) during multiple-system
operation in order to select an interference-free
frequency.
10. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the
batteries if the transmitter is not to be used for a period
of time.
A word about "Digital TV"
The advent of "digital TV" has greatly increased the number of TV broadcast transmitters in operation and has added a new and
different type of TV signal to the airwaves.
Digital TV spreads its transmitted power fairly uniformly across an entire 6 MHz-wide TV channel, effectively “blocking” use of
any of the frequencies for wireless mic systems in the local area.
By comparison, the original type of television transmission, “analog TV,” concentrates the broadcast power within certain fairly
narrow frequency ranges within the 6 MHz-wide TV channel. As a result, wireless systems usually can still operate on
frequencies where the power is
not concentrated, even through an analog TV station is transmitting. This ability for wireless
systems to “co-exist” with analog TV stations permits the use of many more frequencies than would seem to be available, just
based upon the number of “TV channels in use” locally.
And while “analog vs. digital” does add a new complexity to wireless frequency selection and system design, it remains the case
that your wireless needs
can be achieved. Our website, www.audio-technica.com, offers a wide range of information about
multi-channel operation and frequency selection. In addition, A-T’s resources are on call at any time to assist you in specifying,
installing and troubleshooting large wireless systems.

Troubleshooting Guide
Receiver is not on (LCD window does not light).
• Receiver Power switch is not pressed in.
• Small DC power cord from included in-line power supply
is not plugged into jack on back of receiver. (Use the cord
hook to secure it.)
• The in-line power supply is not plugged into AC power
outlet.
• AC power is not present at the AC outlet.
Receiver is on (LCD window lights)
• No sound • Alert light is OFF:
✓“RF”, “AF” and “BATT” legends do not appear in LCD…
• Receiver is in the Menu mode. [See p. 4.]
✓“RF” and "AF" level meters both show good signals.
• AF Level control on back of receiver not turned up
(clockwise). [See p. 4.]
Note: If the
receiver when the transmitter is receiving audio input,
and the AF Level control is turned up, then the problem
is in connections to or control settings on the mixer,
amplifier, etc.
✓Only “RF” level meter shows good signal; no “AF”
signal.
• No sound input to mic.
• ATW-T310 body-pack only: Wrong input selected (
