increases battery life by reducing power. (Note: Effective range decreases when 
the switch is set in Low position.) 

 
UniPak™ Transmitter Input Connection 

Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the input 
connector on the bottom of the transmitter. The cable connector latches 
automatically when inserted into the transmitter jack. To unlatch and remove the 
connector, simply pull up on the connector’s knurled metal collar. 
 
A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available 
separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak input connector (see “Optional System 
Accessories” on page __  

 
Transmitting Antenna 

The UniPak transmitter includes a permanently attached flexible antenna. For 
best results, allow the antenna to hang freely and full length from the bottom of 
the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different 
transmitter positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning the receiver. 

Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the length of the transmitting 
antenna. 
 

System Operation 

 

Turn down the receiver volume control and the mixer/amplifier level before 
starting up the wireless system. Do not switch on the transmitter yet. 

 
Receiver on... 

Plug the power supply into an AC power source. The green Power indicator on 
the front panel will light. 

 
Transmitter on... 

When the transmitter is switched on, the receiver’s yellow RF signal indicator will 
light. The transmitters have a 3-position power switch. When the switch is set to 
“Standby” (ST or ST.BY), the transmitter produces RF with no audio signal. 
When the switch is “On,” the transmitter produces both RF and audio. Excessive 
audio input to the transmitter will cause the receiver’s red AF Peak indicator to 
light. 

 
Receiver Volume 

Under typical operating conditions, the receiver's volume control should be 
turned all the way up, with overall system audio gain adjusted at the mixer or 
amplifier.
