Thank you for purchasing Azden’s 300LT wireless system, which consist of the 300UPR receiver, 30BT transmitter and EX-503L lapel microphone. This equipment is designed primarily for video cameras but is usable with most electronic components having a microphone level input.
RECEIVER (300UPR)
(1) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.
(2) Insert two fresh alkaline “AA” batteries 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:
(3) Phone level output adjustment: Using the supplied tool, turn the dial clockwise to increase earphone output level. Turn the dial counterclockwise to decrease earphone output level.
(4) Power
Switches the Receiver “On” or “Off”.
(5) Mic Output Jack
The 300UPR is supplied with two cables.
For mini jack microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini­to-mini cable. Plug the end of the cable with one black band into the receiver. Plug the end of the cable with the two black bands into the microphone input of the video camera.
For 3-pin XLR microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini to XLR cable. Plug the mini end of the cable into the
desired channel, numbered from 1 to 240. Once the desired channel number has been selected on the transmitter, set the receiver to the same channel number.
Operating the system
Because this is a frequency agile system, the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel number. To change the channel number, use the tip of the provided tool and press the UP or DOWN button to the desired channel. Make sure both the receiver and transmitter are on the same channel.
300UPR Receiver
After installing new batteries, mount the receiver to your video camera with the supplied shoe mount or hook & loop fastener. Select one of the supplied cables and connect the output cable to the receiver and to the microphone input on the video camera. Switch the 300UPR to “ON” and the battery level indicator should come on. If it does not, check the battery. Plug an earphone into the phone jack to monitor sound. Adjust the phone volume as necessary. When the 300UPR receives a signal from the transmitter the reception level indicator will come on. If it does not make sure both the receiver and transmitter are on the same channel.
30BT 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 (10) or place it in a pocket. Switch the 30BT to “ON” and the battery level indicator should come on. If it does not, check the battery. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the

receiver. Plug the XLR end of the cable into the microphone input of the video camera.
(6) LCD Display
This display shows the following information.
Channels: Numbered from 1 to 240
Battery Condition: Using a 3 step indicator. (1 Low to 3 High)
Reception Level: Using a 4 step indicator. (1 Low to 4 High)
To change the channel number: Use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button to the desired channel, numbered from 1 to 240. Once the desired channel number has been selected on the receiver, set the transmitter to the same channel number.
(7) Phone Jack
Plug an earphone into this jack to monitor the sound. You can use mono or stereo headphones.
(8) Shoe Stand
Attach the 300UPR to the shoe mount of the video camera, by sliding it into place. Turn the thumbwheel clockwise to tighten. Reverse this procedure to remove the 300UPR from the camera.
BODYPACK TRANSMITTER (30BT)
(1) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.
(2) Insert two fresh alkaline “AA” batteries 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:
(3) Mic Input Level Control
The Mic Input Level control enables you to adjust the input level of the microphone. Using the supplied tool, turn the dial clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the input level.
(4) Power
Switches the Transmitter “On” or “Off”.
(5) Mic Input Jack
Plug the supplied EX-503L microphone into the Mic Input Jack and tighten the collar until snug. (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN) In addition other lapel and/or headset microphones with 3.5mm mini plugs can also be used with the 30BT.
(6) LCD Display
This display shows the following information.
Channels: Numbered from 1 to 240
Battery Condition: Using a 3 step indicator. (1 Low to 3 High)
To change the channel number: Use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button to the
(9) Antennas
For best reception the antennas should be pointed in an upward fashion. Use caution, and do not force them into this position.
