T\bis device complies wit\b part 15 of t\be FCC Rules. \fperation is subject
to t\be condition t\bat t\bis device does not cause \barmful interference.
T\bis device complies wit\b INDUSTRY CANADA R.S.S. 210, en conformité
avec IC: RSS-210/CNR210. \fperation issubject to t\be following
conditions: 1) T\bis device may not cause \barmful interference and 2) t\bis
device must accept any interference received, including interference
w\bic\b may cause undesired operation. C\banges or modifications not
expressly approved by Audio-Tec\bnica could void your aut\bority to
operate t\bis equipment.
CAUTION! Electrical s\bock can result from \dremoval of t\be receiver
cover. Refer servicing to qualified \dservice personnel. No\d user-
serviceable parts ins\dide. Do not expose to rain or m\doisture.
T\be circuits inside \dt\be receiver and transmitter \bave been precisely
adjusted for optimum performance and complia\dnce wit\b federal
regulations. Do no\dt attempt to open t\be r\deceiver or transmitter. To do so
will void t\be warranty, and may cause improper o\dperation.
Notice to i\fdividu\bls with i\fpla\bted cardiac pace\fakers or
AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radi\do frequency) energ\dy may interfere wit\b normal
functioning of t\be \dimplanted device. All wireless micro\dp\bones \bave
low-power transmitters (less t\ban 0.0\d5 watts output) w\bic\b are unlikely
to cause difficulty, especially if t\be\dy are at least a f\dew inc\bes away.
However, since a body-pack mic transmitter typically is placed \dagainst
t\be body, we suggest attac\bing it at t\be belt\d, rat\ber t\ban in a \ds\birt
pocket w\bere it may be immediately ad\djacent to t\be medic\dal device.
Note also t\bat any medical-device disruption will cease \dw\ben t\be RF
transmitting source is turned off. Please contact your p\bysician or
medical-device provider if you \bave any questions, or experience any
problems wit\b t\be u\dse of t\bis or any ot\ber RF equipment\d.
T\bank you for c\boosing an Audio -Tec\bnica professional wireless \d

Eac\b Pro Series 5 wirele\dss system provides a c\boice of eig\bt PLL \d
synt\besized UHF frequencies \din t\be 542-561 MHz \dband (TV c\bannels
26-29). All Pro Series 5 wirele\dss systems offer bot\b manual and \d
automatic frequenc\dy scanning. Eac\b wireless system includes a
receiver and eit\ber a body\d-pack or \band\beld transm\ditter. Individual
components are als\do available separately\d.
T\be PR\f-R500 receiver features Diversity Reception. Logic circuitry
monitors reception\d, selecting t\be sup\derior signal from \dtwo antennas,
providing better sound quality and reducing t\be p\dossibility of
interference and dropouts\d. Soft-touc\b controls provide convenient
access to selectio\dn of operating fre\dquency and automati\dc scanning,
w\bile an LED displa\dy indicates selecte\dd c\bannel and scanning\d
operation.
T\be versatile PR\f-T501 UniPak
® body-pack transmitter \bas bot\b
low- and \big\b-impedance\d inputs plus a bia\ds connection, for use
wit\b dynamic and ele\dctret condenser mic\drop\bones, as well as Hi-Z
instrument pickups. T\be UniPak
® transmitter also offers separate trim \d
controls for guitar and microp\bone, \dplus switc\bable \big\b/low RF power.
T\be PR\f-T502 \band\beld dynami\dc microp\bone/transm\ditter features a
rugged dynamic unidir\dectional element de\dsigned for professional live-
sound venues. Transmitters in t\be Pro Series 5 use two 1.5V AA batteries for
economical operati\don and wide availability. Bot\b transmitters also
feature a multi-color \dPower/Mute/Battery indicator.
Pro Series 5 receiv\ders feature a sop\bisticated\d Tone Lock
-„¢ tone squelc\b
system t\bat opens t\be\d receivers audio output only\d w\ben a Pro Series
5 transmitter is detected, re\dducing t\be possibil\dity of interference. As a
result, Pro Series 5 transm\ditters and receivers must be used to\dget\ber
and s\bould not be us\ded wit\b components \dfrom ot\ber Audio -Tec\bnica
wireless systems, or wit\b t\bos\de of ot\ber manufacturers.
Please note t\bat in\d multiple-system applications \dt\bere must be a
transmitter-receiver combination set\d to a separate c\bannel (frequency) \d
for eac\b input desired (onl\dy one transmitter for eac\b receiver).
Because t\be wireless\d frequencies are w\dit\bin UHF TV frequency bands,\d
only certain c\bannels (operating \dfrequencies) may be useable in a \d
particular geograp\d\bic area. T\be eig\bt c\bannels (operating \dfrequencies)
t\bat are used in t\be\d Pro Series 5 \bave been selected for multi-c\bannel
compatibility. Subject to frequ\dency availability in a particular \dgeograp\bic
area, any of t\bese eig\bt c\bannels may be used toget\ber.
T\be operating freque\dncies t\bat correspond to eac\b of t\be eig\bt
c\bannels are listed \don page 7.
Receiver I\fst\bll\btio\fLoc\btio\f
For best operation \dt\be receiver s\bould be at lea\dst 3' (1 m) above t\be
ground and at least\d 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to
minimize reflections. Keep t\be receiver antennas away from noise
sources suc\b as digital equipment, moto\drs, automobiles an\dd neon
lig\bts, as well as away from large metal objects. In mul\dti-c\bannel
systems, position re\dceivers at least 3' (1\d m) apart and keep operating
transmitters at least 6' (\d2 m) from t\be recei\dvers to \belp assure \d
maximum RF performance.
Output Co\f\fectio\f
T\bere are two audio outputs on t\be back panel: balanced (-16.5 dBV)
and unbalanced (-13.5 dBV). Use s\bielded audio cable for t\be connection
between t\be receiver and t\be mixer. If t\be input of t\be mixer is a
1/4" jack,
connect a cable from t\be 1/4" unbalanced audio output on t\be back of t\be
receiver \bousing to t\be mixer. If t\be input of t\be mixer is an XLR-type
input, connect a cable from t\be balanced XLR-type audio output on t\be
back panel to t\be mixer.
Power Co\f\fectio\f
Connect t\be DC plug\d on t\be included AC power adapter to t\be D\dC
power input on t\be bac\dk of t\be receiver. Secure t\be cord o\dver t\be cord
\book on t\be back of t\be receiver, to keep t\be plug from b\deing detac\bed
by an accidental tug on t\be cord. T\ben plug t\be adapter\d into a standard
120 Volt 60 Hz AC power outlet.
A\fte\f\f\bs
Extend t\be permanen\dtly attac\bed UHF antennas. T\be antennas are
normally positione\dd in t\be s\bape of a \dV (bot\b 45° from \dvertical) for
best reception. Di\dversity Indicators on t\be\d receiver front panel wil\dl
indicate w\bic\b antenna is active.
