System 10 Portable Camera-Mount Wireless
Installation and Operation
3
Receiver Installation
Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above the
ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize
as other digital wireless equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away
from large metal objects.
Keep System 10 receiver 30' (9 m) away from
wireless access points.
In multi-channel systems, position receivers at
least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from
the receivers to help assure maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The ATW-R1700 has a single audio output jack that accepts the 3.5 mm
(
1
/
8
") cable included in the package.
Use the Audio Output Selector Switch to choose between a balanced
and an unbalanced dual mono signal.
The 3.5 mm (
1
/
8
") Headphone Monitor output works with mono or stereo
headphones (the output sends a dual mono audio signal to stereo
headphones). Use the Headphone Level Control to adjust the volume.
Power Connection
NOTE:
Use only the supplied AC adapter and power cord to power or
charge receiver. To use AC power, connect the power cord’s USB A-type
male port to the AC adapter and connect the Micro-USB B port to the
USB Power Input on the side of the receiver. Next, plug the adapter
into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz or 230 volt 50 Hz (depending on global
location) AC power outlet. The AC adapter and USB cable also charges
the receiver’s internal battery. Charge battery in an environment with
moderate temperature (41°F – 95°F). The system will not charge in
temperatures below 32°F or above 104°F in order to prevent potential
damage to battery. For safety and to conserve energy, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet when the system is not in use. Store
receiver in a cool place.
Antennas
For best reception, position the removable antennas in the shape of a
“V” so that both tilt 45°.
