Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Nady UWS-100 wireless system, and congratulations on your choice. The UWS-100 has the best performance and price value in professional UHF wireless, offering clear-channel, frequency-agile operation on the UHF band for interference-free performance in any application or locale. The UWS-100 delivers 100 user-selectable channels, frequency synthesized in 00-99 channels in the US frequency band 667MHz-697MHz. The built-in Autoscan feature offers a quick and convenient way
to select an open channel for single system use or to set up many wireless systems at the same location for simultaneous multichannel operation. The UWS-100 features proprietary companding and low-noise circuitry for an industry-best 120dB dynamic range, and the clearest, most natural sound available in wireless today
Using This Manual
This booklet provides instructions for the operation of the UWS-100 and includes a description of features, a quick user controls guide, a step-by-step guide to operations for each unit, system specifications, a troubleshooting guide, miscellaneous tips, and servicing information.

1.DUAL ANTENNAS Permanently mounted. Rotate to 45° as shown for optimal reception
2.SELECT BUTTON Press once quickly to start the Auto Scan function to search for an interference-free channel. Press and hold for ~2 seconds to manually select one of 100 channels
3.CHANNEL DISPLAY LED indicator displays the selected channel from 00-99 in numerical format
4.AF LED INDICATOR Bi-color LED (green/orange) displays received audio level (orange indicates maximum allowable audio level)
5.RF A/B LED INDICATORS Indicate diversity A or B antenna reception when transmitter is on
6.IR WINDOW Transmits LED Infrared signal for linking the receiver to the transmitter for frequency downloads, with blinking IR LED status indicator
7.ASC™ SYNC BUTTON Starts the IR link download of the receiver’s selected channel to the transmitter. Position the transmitter IR receptor window 6-12” away from the receiver IR window, press the ASC button once and wait one second for the receiver to respond. The red LED inside the IR window will flash twice within two seconds. If the IR data download is successful, the transmitter LCD display’s backlight will light and the receiver’s RF A/B LED will also light, indicating reception of the receiver signal from the transmitter
8.DC INPUT JACK For connecting external AC/DC adapter to power receiver (DC15VDC/400mA)
9.POWER ROCKER SWITCH Press right side to turn On or press left side to turn Off receiver. The Channel Display (3) is lit when the unit is on
10.BALANCED MIC OUT XLR JACK Audio output at fixed MIC level
11.UNBALANCED LINE OUT ¼” JACK Line level audio output, adjustable with Volume control
12.VOLUME CONTROL Selects desired output volume level for the Unbalanced Line Out
13.MUTE LEVEL (RF SQUELCH) Controls the mute level for the receiver. Turn clockwise for maximum range or turn counterclockwise, if needed, to minimize noises from outside RF interference upon muting
14.DC POWER SUPPLY ADAPTER DC15VDC/400mA
