This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
This device complies with INDUSTRY CANADA R.S.S. 210, en conformité avec IC: RSS-210/CNR210.
Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference and 2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference which may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Audio-Technica could
void your authority to operate this equipment.
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 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.
CAUTION! 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.
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
Attention: Pour prévenir feu ou choc électrique, ne pas exposé l'appareil à la pluie ou à l'humidité.
About RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services. According to Federal Communications Commission regulations,
“Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any interference is received
by any Government or non-Government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation...”
If you need help with operation or frequency selection, please contact your local dealer or Audio-Technica. Extensive wireless information
also is available at www.audio-technica.com.

selectable on the 1800 Series components will be selectable on the 3000 Series components.
Set each transmitter-receiver pair to identical frequencies.
Quick Overview of System Operation
Thank you for purchasing this Audio-Technica 1800 Series Single-channel Camera-mount
UHF Wireless Microphone System. All 1800 Series Single-channel systems are designed
primarily to be used with video cameras, with the ATW-R1810 Receiver mounted on a camera
and connected to the camera's audio input; they may also be used with other components
equipped with microphone-level input.
First, insert batteries. (See Receiver Battery Installation, page 8.) Note: The ATW-R1810
Single-channel Receiver also functions without batteries if connected to an external
power supply (12V DC source, 500 mA nominal current, not included).
Next, attach the antennas to the antenna input jacks, and mount the ATW-R1810 Receiver to
your camera (mounting hardware not included); or use the included pouch with belt clip to
attach the ATW-R1810 to your belt. Connect the output cable to the AT W-R1810 and your video
camera (or audio mixer). (See Output callout, page 7).
Turn the ATW-R1810 on: Press and hold the Power/Set button until the Power LED lights red.
Select an operating frequency. (See Selecting Frequencies on your Receiver, page 9.)
NOTE: Transmitter-Receiver pairs must be set to identical frequencies.

IF your system is equipped with a UniPak®Body-pack Transmitter and lavalier microphone:
Plug the included lavalier microphone into the UniPak®body-pack transmitter and position
microphone on your subject about six inches below the chin. Anticipate movements that may
cause the microphone to rub against or be covered by clothing, and position the microphone to
avoid it. Turn the power on (See Operating the Transmitter, page 11 ). Select a frequency and
choose other settings. (See Operating the Transmitter and How to Set Frequencies on your
Transmitter, page 11.)
IF your system is equipped with a Plug-on Transmitter: Attach a microphone (dynamic or
condenser) to the Plug-on Transmitter's input connector (See Microphone Input, page, 10 ).
Turn the power on (See Operating the Transmitter, page 11 ). Select a frequency and choose
other settings. (See Operating the Transmitter and How to Set Frequencies on your Transmitter,
page 11.)
