life (from 1 to 3 segments) with 3 segments meaning maximum battery
power. The bottom segment will blink when the battery power falls to
less than 6.2V and indicates that it is time to replace the battery. Azden
recommends the use of Alkaline batteries only.
Across the top of the display, up to 5 segments will illuminate depending
on the strength of the transmitted audio signal - from 2 (weak) to 5
(strong). The first (left) segment will light when the ST.BY switch is turned
to ON. The best audio is achieved when 4 to 5 segments are lit. If all 5
segments are lit continually, the signal is too strong and could overload
the input of the receiver. Either move the microphone further away from
the sound source or reduce the microphone input gain [

].
The display can also show the total number of hours of use (change to
this display using the MODE [
j
] button). To start, after choosing the
TIME mode, press the UP [
l
] button until the display shows 00:00.
Then, each time the transmitter is turned ON the clock will keep track of
the total hours and minutes used. This is a handy way of keeping track
of battery life.

RECEIVER (1000URX) SETUP
A. Powering the 1000URX:
The 1000URX uses one of several ‘external’ sources for battery power.
It can be powered by either the camera itself (if the camera model pro-
vides an 11-15V DC output) or by an external battery pack. As the
1000URX draws approximately 250mA, an external battery pack that
can provide 11-15V DC @ 3A should run the receiver for approximately
12 hours before needing to be recharged (current available divided by
current drawn).
When powering from either source a special cable will be required. This
cable will have to be specifically wired for your particular camera or
external battery pack. Power cables for many of the most popular cam-
eras and external battery packs are available from your dealer or Azden
directly at 516.328.7500 or [email protected] via email.
The DC Power connector [
f
] is a four-pin XLR type and is wired with
pin 1 for negative (-) and pin 4 for positive (+). Pins 2 and 3 are not
used.
B. Mounting the 1000URX:
To attach the 1000URX directly to the camera, use the included Velcro.
After choosing an appropriate location on the camera, peel and attach
the smooth surface (loop) portion of the Velcro directly to either side of
the 1000URX, then peel and attach the rough surface (hook) portion of
the Velcro to the camera. For best reception try to mount the 1000URX
in a location that keeps the antennas above and away from the camera
body.
Be sure the surfaces on the camera and 1000URX are clean
and oil-free before attaching the Velcro.
