100UPR Receiver

Mount the receiver to your camera using either the supplied Velcro or hot-shoe
mount. Connect the output cable to the receiver and to the microphone input on
the video camera. Switch the 100UPR to “ON” and the LED should turn red. If it
does not light, check the battery. Plug an earphone into the phone jack to monitor
sound. Adjust the phone volume as necessary. When the 100UPR receives a
signal the LED will turn green.

10BT Bodypack Transmitter

Plug in the supplied lapel microphone and clip it to your subject. The microphone
should be placed 4-12 inches from your subject’s mouth. Clip the transmitter to
a belt using the supplied belt-clip (15) or place it in a pocket. Switch the transmitter
Power and Audio to “ON”. The LED should light green. If it does not, check the
battery. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound
through the receiver’s phone output. If the sound is distorted lower the input gain
on the transmitter. If there is not enough volume raise the input gain on the
transmitter.

10HT Handheld Transmitter

Switch the transmitter to “ON”. The LED should light green. If it does not, check
the batteries. If it glows red it is time to replace the batteries. Have someone
speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound through the receiver’s
phone output. If the sound is distorted lower the gain on the transmitter. If there is
not enough volume raise the gain on the transmitter.

Thank you for purchasing Azden’s 100LT or 100HT wireless system, which
consists of the 100UPR receiver, 10BT transmitter and EX-503 lapel microphone
or a 10HT transmitter. Optional transmitters for this system include the 51BT
bodypack, the 51XT XLR plug-in and 51HT handheld microphone. This
equipment is designed primarily for video cameras but is usable with most
electronic components having a microphone level input.

RECEIVER (100UPR)

(1) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.

(2) Insert one fresh alkaline 9V battery into the compartment. Make sure the
battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.

In addition to the battery, inside the battery compartment you will find the following:

(3-4) Frequency select
With the frequency group dial on the left (3) you can select any of seven frequency
groups (numbered from 0-6). With the frequency channel dial on the right (4) you
can select any of nine frequency channels (numbered 0-8).

(5) Phone level output adjustment
Using the supplied screwdriver, turn the dial clockwise to increase earphone output
level. Turn the dial counterclockwise to decrease earphone output level.

(6) Power
Switches the receiver “On” or “Off”.

(7) Mic Out jack
The 100UPR is supplied with a mini-to-mini (3-conductor-to-2-conductor) cable.
Plug the end of the cable with one black band into the receiver. Plug the end of
the cable with two black bands into the microphone input of the video camera. If
your camera’s microphone input is the 3-pin XLR type you’ll need the optional
MX-1 cable.

(8) LED indicator
The LED turns red when the receiver is switched “On” and green when receiving
a signal from the transmitter.

(9) Phone jack
Plug an earphone into this jack to monitor the sound. The jack is wired to work

with either mono or stereo headphones (you will hear mono is both ears).

BODYPACK TRANSMITTER (10BT)

(1) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.

functions. Sliding it toward the LED turns the transmitter ON. The LED will turn
green when the batteries are fresh and red when it is time to replace the batteries.
Sliding the switch away from the LED turns the transmitter OFF.

(2) Insert one fresh alkaline 9V battery into the compartment. Make sure the
battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.

In addition to the battery, inside the battery compartment you will find the following:

(3-4) Frequency select
With the frequency group dial on the left (3) you can select any of seven frequency
groups (numbered from 0-6). With the frequency channel dial on the right (4) you
can select any of nine frequency channels (numbered 0-8).

(10 and 12) Power and Standby switches
The power “ON” and “OFF” switch (10) enables and disables all transmitter
functions while the Audio switch (12) “ON” and “Standby” positions turn the audio
off and on. Switching the transmitter to “Standby” will cause the receiver to mute.
This allows the microphone to be handled with no noise.

(11) The LED Indicator turns green when the Power is turned “ON”. This LED will
also turn red to indicate that battery level is low and the battery must be changed.

(13) The MIC jack accepts a 3.5mm jack from a microphone such as the supplied
EX-503. Other lavalier and/or headset microphones can also be used.

In addition to the batteries, inside the battery compartment you will find the
following:

(4) Frequency select
With the frequency group dial on the left you can select any of seven frequency
groups (numbered from 0-6). With the frequency channel dial on the right you
can select any of nine frequency channels (numbered 0-8).

(5) The Audio Level Control enables you to adjust the overall level of the
microphone. Turn clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the
volume level. A small screwdriver is supplied to make these adjustments. The
level control is factory-preset in the center position.

Operating the system

Because this is a frequency agile system, you have to choose the frequency for
both the transmitter and receiver via the group and channel dials (3 and 4). We
cannot stress enough that the transmitter and receiver pair MUST BE SET TO
THE SAME GROUP and CHANNEL NUMBER. Additionally, multiple systems
used in the same location should be on the same group number but on different
channel numbers. (See below for example) ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE
FREQUENCY YOU’VE CHOSEN IS CLEAR PRIOR TO USING THE SYSTEM.

(14) The Audio input Level Control enables you to adjust the input level of the
microphone. Turn clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the input
level. A small screwdriver is supplied to make these adjustments. The level control

Finally, if you need to change the group or channel number you must shut off both
the transmitter and receiver before making a change. When the units are turned
“On” the frequency is locked and will not change.

is factory-preset in the center position.

HANDHELD TRANSMITTER (10HT)

(1) Remove the battery compartment cover by rotating it counterclockwise and
sliding it down.

(2) Insert one fresh alkaline 1.5 V battery into each side of the battery compartment.
Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.

When operating multiple systems all receivers and transmitters must be on the
same group.

Example: 4 systems operating simultaneously.
