ARNING!
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on the AS1000, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of quality earpieces is also an important factor in determining the SPL.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage.
• Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
• Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
• Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.
• Wipe the ear molds with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.

AS-1000T
AS-1000T Transmitter Features
The AS-1000T is a low power FM broadcasting transmitter.
It can simultaneously transmit stereo music (from sources such as CD players, MP3 players, etc.) and vocal audio (from wired or wireless microphone systems). It can also be interfaced with a mixing console to transmit an entire monitor mix to the performer.
Up to 64 selectable frequencies are available to set up a
multi-frequency broadcasting system while avoiding interference. The two rotary switches allow the user to easily select the group number (1-8), and channel number (1-8). These two selections make up the frequency program number, which is then brightly displayed on the front panel.
The 1/4" XLR combo CH1 MIC/LINE jack accepts a mono
balanced or unbalanced, line or microphone signal.
The CH 2 1/4" and RCA LINE IN jacks accept stereo or mono
audio signals from CD players, MP3 players, etc. (Switchable Stereo/Mono modes.)
Independent input volume controls allow the user greater
control when mixing two audio sources together.
The Peak LED indicator shows when the inputs are being
over-driven to help avoid distortion.
The Headphone jack, with independent volume control,
allows a user to monitor the audio signal from the transmitter location.
The AS-1000T utilizes a high efficiency antenna with a
typical coverage radius of approximately 300 feet. The coverage area is maximized when the antenna is placed at higher locations.

SYSTEM SETUP & OPERATION
1. Make sure that both the AS-1000T Transmitter and AS1000R Receiver power switches are in the off position before beginning this procedure.
2. Install 2 fresh AA batteries into the AS1000R. Attach headphones to the green headphone jack and turn the headphone volume control to minimum. Move the power switch to the ON position. The LED indicator should illuminate Red for a few seconds and then go out. If the LED lights up Green, first double check that the Transmitter power switch is in the off position. If the LED remains Green even when the Transmitter is switched off, adjust the group and channel switches until the LED goes out. This will greatly increase the likelihood that the Any Spot system will be functioning on a frequency free from interference.
3. Attach the UHF antenna to the TNC connector on the rear panel of the Transmitter. Check the voltage of the included AC adapter, and make
sure it conforms to the line voltage available in your local
area. Using the wrong AC adapter may cause irreparable damage to the unit. Plug the feeder cable of the AC adapter into the DC IN jack on the Transmitter. Then plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. Switch on the power button on the Transmitter.
4. Adjust the Transmitter group and channel switches to match the group and channel settings selected on the AS1000R. Move the Transmitter power switch to the ON position. The LED on the AS1000R should now illuminate Green, indicating that it is receiving signal from the Transmitter. If the LED on the AS1000R does not turn Green, verify that the Transmitter and AS1000R have both been adjusted to the same group and channel settings. If the AS­1000R LED still does not turn Green, please try selecting a new group and channel on both the Transmitter and AS1000R to avoid any possible interference from outside RF sources. Repeat this until the AS1000R LED turns Green.
5. Turn all volume controls on the Transmitter to minimum. Connect the audio source(s) to the Transmitter. For Mic level signals use the XLR (MIC) input jack. For Mono Line level
7
AS-1000
signals use the ¼” (MIC) input jack. For Stereo Line level signals use the Stereo RCA jacks. (The RCA jacks may also
be used in Mono by sliding the Stereo/Mono switch to Mono
mode).
6. Send audio signals from the source(s) at the approximate level that will be used during the performance. Sources may be a monitor mix from a mixing console, a CD player, or even a single microphone.
7. Starting at minimum, slowly turn up the MIC volume control (if Mic Input is used) until the Transmitter Peak LED starts to light. Then turn the control back down just enough to keep the LED from lighting. Repeat this procedure for the LINE IN volume control (if used). These levels will be a good starting point and provide a good signal to noise ratio while avoiding distortion. If desired, the audio may be monitored at the Transmitter location by plugging in headphones to the ¼” headphone jack. Adjust PHONES Control to set the volume.
8. Now put on the Receiver headphones and slowly increase the Receiver volume control until the desired level is achieved. If both inputs on the Transmitter are in use, you may need to adjust the balance between the MIC and LINE Volume Controls. If the source audio levels provided to the Transmitter change, the volume controls on the Transmitter may need to be re­adjusted for optimum performance.
9. Walk around the area where the Receiver(s) will be used to
ensure you have good coverage with no interference. If any
interference is heard, select a new frequency program number on both the Transmitter and the Receiver until a clear frequency is found. Once a frequency has been selected, additional Receivers may be set to the same frequency and audio quality verified.
10. A general rule for any wireless system: Any number of Receivers may be set to the same frequency and used in the same area. However, only one Transmitter may be used on a selected frequency in any one area.
