OPERATING INS TR UCTIONS
Before you connect the system to your camera and talent, you should test and set initial parameters as detailed below
:
Test for interference
1.
Test your RF environment before recording. To do this turn on only the receiver. If the RF LED is illuminated, then there is
interference on this channel. Change the channel and repeat until you find a channel that is free of interference.
Connect transmitter and receiver
ULW-16
1.
Connect the included lavalier microphone to the transmitter’s microphone input or plug in a line-level source such as an audio
mixer to the transmitter’s line-level input.
Note
:
If you are connecting the receiver to a sound system, mute the sound system. Do not monitor with headphones at this stage.
Anytime you are changing channels, remove your headphones and mute connected sound systems to avoid audible RF noise bursts.
2.
Turn on the transmitter and the receiver by rotating the level controls clockwise. You should feel the click and see the channel
indicator LED light up.
3.
Use the channel selector buttons to set the transmitter and receiver to the same channel. If you are experiencing interference or
noise on one channel, try a different channel. If you are using multiple ULW-16 wireless systems, make sure each system is set
to a different channel – at least three channels apart as a guard band.
