CAUTION!
Electrical shock can result from removal of the
receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or
moisture.
The circuits inside the receiver and transmitter have been
precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compli-
ance with european regulations (R & TTE directive). Do not
attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so will
void the warranty, and may cause improper operation.
This device complies with EN300 422-1, EN301 489-09
(EMC) and EN60065.
The ATW-R160, ATW-T161, ATW-T162 and ATW-T163 are
intended to be used in all countries of the European Union.
Please note :
Frequency usage is different for each country. Your Audio-
Technica agent will have all the necessary details on the
available legal frequencies for your area.
The ATW-R160 receiver features true diversity reception. Two
antennas feed two completely independent RF sections on
the same frequency; automatic logic circuitry continuously
compares and selects the superior received signal, providing
better sound quality and reducing the possibility of interference
and dropouts. Soft-touch controls provide convenient access
to a variety of functions, while an LCD information display
provides constant monitoring of system operation. The receiver
is half-width for a standard 1U 19" rack mount; rack-mount
adapters are included. Two receivers can be mounted side by
side, using an optional AT8616 joining-plate kit.
The versatile ATW-T161 UniPak
™
body-pack transmitter has
both low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection,
for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as
well as Hi-Z instrument pickups.
The ATW-T162 handheld dynamic microphone/transmitter
features a hyper cardioid element created for professional live-
sound venues.
The ATW-T163 handheld condenser microphone/transmitter
features a cardioid element created for professional live-sound
venues and installations, such as use with inductive loop
systems.
Transmitters in the 1600 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for
economical operation and wide availability.
Tone squelch system in the ATW-R160 receiver opens only
when a 1600 Series transmitter is detected, reducing the possi-
bility of interference. As a result, 1600 Series transmitters and
receivers must be used together and should not be used with
components from other Audio-Technica wireless systems, or
with those of other manufacturers.
Please note that in multiple-system applications there must be
a transmitter-receiver combination set to a separate frequency
for each input desired (only one transmitter for each receiver).
Due to the wireless frequencies being within UHF TV frequency
bands, only certain operating frequencies may be useable in
a particular geographic area.
Please contact your National Radio Licensing Authority for
further information.

Introduction
Notice to individuals
with implanted cardiac pacemakers
or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy
may
interfere with
normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless
microphones have low-power transmitters (less than 0.05
watts output) which are unlikely to cause difficulty, especial-
ly if they are at least a few inches away. However, since a
“body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the
body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical
device. Note also that
any medical-device disruption will
cease when the RF transmitting source is turned off
. Please
contact your physician or medical-device provider if you have
any questions, or experience any problems with the use of
this or any other RF equipment.
Thank you for choosing an Audio-Technica professional wireless
system. You have joined thousands of other satisfied customers
who have chosen our products because of their quality, perform-
ance and reliability. This Audio-Technica wireless microphone
system is the successful result of years of design and manufac-
turing experience.
Each 1600 Series wireless system provides a choice of PLL-syn-
thesized UHF frequencies. Each wireless system includes a
receiver and either a body-pack or handheld transmitter.
Individual components are also available separately.
