This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Notice: The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Important note, to comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to operate the device.
UF WIRELESS SYSTEMS:
The UF wireless systems are high quality audio products that provide excellent performance under most operating conditions. The different systems available all operate with UHF high band frequencies.
Frequency ranges: USA: 790-806 MHz, France/UK 854-865 MHz, & Germany: 794-813 MHz, See page 3 for frequency chart.
WIRELESS NOTES:
•Before setting up, make sure that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency.
•Do not use two transmitters in the same frequency. Use good quality batteries to avoid the damage resulting from a defective leaking battery.
•Turn the volume control on the receiver to adjust receiver output level to match input level requirements of an audio mixer or amplifier.
•While checking sound, move the transmitter around the area where you use the system to look for dead spots. If you find any dead spot, change the receiver position. If it does not work, avoid such places.
•To avoid interference, do not put the receiver too near metal object and avoid obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
•Avoid the interference from TV, radio, other wireless appliances and etc.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS:
UF RECEIVERS:

For the UF-2064 the RF LEd display which MIc is being received MIC 1 or 2
For the UF-8264 the RF LED is a 5 level RF LEVEL meter that displays the signal strength.
(5)LEVEL CONTROL: Rotary controls adjust the receiver’s output level from the microphone to line level for matching the input sensitivity of the mixer or amplifier.
(6)ANTENNA: Fixed-length UHF antenna permanently mounted either on the front or on rear panel.
(7)DC OUT: Connect the supplied cable to the receiver and the microphone, and it takes around 10 hours to charge.
NOTE: THE UF-1064, UF1264, & UF2064 ARE THE ONLY MODELS THAT RECHARGE BATTERIES.
(8)UNBALANCED OUTPUT: Unbalanced 1/4” mono jack audio output provides unbalanced low-impedance output
(9)BALANCED OUTPUT: 3-pin XLR connector provides balanced lowimpedance output
(10) SQUELCH ADJ.: The squelch adjusts the output level to prevent from the external noise. Setting the squelch too high will reduce the range of the system. Set the squelch to minimum before turning the receiver on.
(11) DC IN: Input connector for the supplied AC adapter.
FM-64 HANDHELD MICROPHONE:
The handheld microphone operates in UHF band frequency with PLL synthesized control. UHF 64 preprogramed selectable frequencies to avoid interference. Uni-directional dynamic or uni-directional electret condenser capsules with different characters for various choices. Use 1.5V x 2 AA size rechargeable or regular batteries for low operating cost.
(1)GRILLE: Protects the microphone capsule and helps reduce breath sounds and wind noise. The grille for the various microphone capsules differ in appearance.
(2)LOW BATTERY LED: LED indicates battery status. Switching the power to “ON”, the LED flashing once indicates that the transmitter has sufficient power. If the LED stays on, it indicates that the battery has insufficient power and should be changed soon. If the status LED fails to flash, the battery is either dead or not positioned correctly, and you should correct the positioning or change the battery.
(3)ON/OFF SWITCH: Turns transmitter power on and off.
(4)BATTERY COMPARTMENT: Insert two AA batteries into the compartment and make sure that the polarity of batteries is correct.

To combine two receivers in a 19" standard rack by using 2 short L type plastic racks (L2) and 2 metal connecting plates (C1). (Each system includes a L2 and a C1.)
BASIC CONNECTIONS:
Connect the receiver output to the audio mixer or amplifier input, using a standard audio cable with XLR connectors or 1/4” phone plugs. Never use the balance & unbalanced outputs at the same time! This may cause signal loss or increased noise.
To mount a receiver in a 19" standard rack by using 2 long L type metal racks (L1).
SETTING UP:
Prior to setting up, check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency. Two or above transmitters operating in the same frequency can not be used at the same time and area, so please select the different frequencies which can be used simultaneously at local area.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO POWER:
•Point the antennas upward.
•Check that the voltage of the supplied AC adapter (AC110 or AC220) conforms to the voltage available in local area. Using the wrong AC adapter may cause irreparable damage to the unit.
•Plug the feeder cable of the supplied AC adapter into DC IN socket on the receiver. Then plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
NOTE: THE UF-8264 RECIEVERS CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH EACH OTHER.
CHARGING CONNECTING DIAGRAM:
Connect the supplied DC cable to the receiver and the microphone, and it takes around 10 hours to charge and the LED of transmitter is flashing all the time.
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER TO AN AUDIO MIXER OR AN AMPLIFIER:
In order to make sure the sound quality and avoid distortion, please adjust the volume level according to following instructions.
INSERTING BATTERIES INTO THE HANDHELD / BODYPACK TRANSMITTER:
•Push to open the battery cover and insert batteries into the battery compartment conforming to the polarity (+)(-) marks. The transmitter can not work with incorrectly inserted batteries.
•When push the ON/OFF switch to “ON” to switch the power on, the LED will flash momentarily. If the battery has sufficient power, the LED flashes once. If the LED stayed on, it indicates that the battery has insufficient power and should be changed soon. If the status LED fails to flash, the battery is either dead or not positioned correctly, and you should correct the positioning or change the battery.
•Push back the battery cover to click it shut.
