Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above the
ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface to minimize
as other digital wireless equipment, microwave ovens, as well as away
from large metal objects. Keep System 10 receiver 30' (9 m) away from
wireless accesspoints. In multi-channel systems, position receivers at
least 3' (1 m)apart and keep operating transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from
the receivers to help assure maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The ATW-R1700 has a single audio output jack that accepts the 3.5 mm
(1/8") cable included in the package.
Use the Audio Output Selector Switch to choose between a balanced
and an unbalanced dual mono signal.
The 3.5 mm (1/8") Headphone Monitor output works with mono or stereo
headphones (the output sends a dual mono audio signal to stereo
headphones). Use the Headphone Level Controlto adjust the volume.
Power Connection
NOTE: Use only the supplied AC adapter and power cord to power or
charge receiver. To use AC power, connect the power cord’s USB A-type
male port to the AC adapter and connect the Micro-USB B port to the
USB Power Input on the side of the receiver. Next, plug the adapter
into a standard 120 Volt 60 Hz or 230 volt 50 Hz (depending on global
location) AC power outlet. The AC adapter and USB cable also charges
the receiver’s internal battery. Charge battery in an environment with
moderate temperature (41°F – 95°F). The system will not charge in
temperatures below 32°F or above 104°F in order to prevent potential
damage to battery. For safety and to conserve energy, unplug the
AC adapter from the AC outlet when the system is not in use. Store

indicator will glow green and the blue System ID number on the front
panel will illuminate.
needs to be charged. You can charge the battery with the supplied
AC adapter and USB cable, following the instructions under Power
Connection on page 3. The LCD RX Battery Gauge will blink during
charging and a lightning bolt symbol will appear to the right of “RX.” The
Power/Battery indicator will glow red while the battery is charging and
turn green when charging is complete. Audio-Technica recommends
time. Average charge time takes 4 hours 30 minutes. To help maintain
the battery, it is best to operate the receiver (at least occasionally)
without the AC power supply and recharge when needed. Also, avoid
storing a fully charged receiver for a long period of time.
Transmitter on...
When the transmitter is switched on, the receiver's green pair indicator
will light, and two indicators light on the transmitter: the transmitter
Power / Battery / Mute status indicator will glow green; and the
transmitter blue System ID display will illuminate. The blue System ID
display on the transmitter and receiver turns off after 30 seconds to
conserve battery power; the transmitter Power / Battery / Mute status
indicator will remain illuminated, indicating transmitter status.
To re-illuminate System ID display, press the Power / Mute switch.
Note: this will alter the transmitter mute status. A slight touch of the
power switch toggles between muted and unmuted operation.
The transmitter’s Power / Battery / Mute status indicator glows red
when transmitter is muted, or green to indicate unmuted status. In a
low-battery situation, the Power / Battery / Mute status indicator begins
to blink.
The transmitters have a soft-touch power switch. When the switch is
set to “Mute” (red indicator LED), the transmitter produces RF with
no audio signal. When the switch is “On” (green indicator LED) 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 Attenuator
Typically, the receiver Audio Output Attenuator switch should be set
at 0dB, and the overall gain should be adjusted from the camera. If a
camera lacks that capability or if sensitivity is too high, use the Audio
Output Attenuator switch to reduce the gain until the signal does
not distort.
Input Level Adjustment
Input trimmer controls in the transmitters enable you to maximize
performance for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to
adjust for different acoustic input levels.
Adjusting Input Level — UniPak®Transmitter
Slide the battery cover off the transmitter and remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Using the screwdriver, gently turn the “VOL” (Volume
– Microphone/Instrument Level) all the way up (clockwise, toward
“H”). Check for excessive gain by speaking / singing into the
microphone at typically loud levels while watching the receiver’s
Peak Indicator. If the Peak indicator does light, turn the “VOL” control
slightly counterclockwise until the Peak indicator no longer lights with
maximum audio input to the transmitter.
Adjusting Input Level — Handheld Transmitter
Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it off, exposing the screwdriver
and "LEVEL" (Gain Trimmer) control (Fig. C). Remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Gently turn the "LEVEL" control to its full clockwise
position (toward the side marked “H”), the factory setting. Check for
excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at typically loud
levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak
indicator does light, turn the "LEVEL" control slightly counterclockwise
until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input
to the mic/transmitter.
Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower body.
No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as
CAUTION! The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the
supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal
190° range of rotation.
Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.

6. Repeat for each additional transmitter. Remember to switch off all
transmitters already paired before adding a new one and to use a
unique ID number for each transmitter.
Note: With all transmitters turned off, the receiver’s System ID
Display will cycle through all currently paired ID numbers. Turn on
a transmitter to activate its pairing with the receiver. The receiver
recognizes only one transmitter at a time. That transmitter must
be turned off before the receiver will recognize another paired
transmitter. *If that transmitter is turned off out of range, the
receiver will not recognize another paired transmitter until the
receiver is reset by disconnecting the power supply.
Clearing Individual ID Pairings
1. Press the receiver’s System ID button to select the ID number you
wish to clear. The number will begin to blink.
2. Press and hold the Pair and then ID button for about three seconds,
until the display shows a blinking “o.” This indicates that your
selected ID number has been cleared.
3. Release the Pair and ID buttons and, after a few seconds, the
display will stop blinking and return to normal operation.
4. Repeat to clear additional ID pairings.
Clearing All ID Pairings
1. Press and hold the receiver’s Pair and then ID button for about three
seconds, until the display shows a blinking “o.”
2. Release the Pair and ID buttons. Then, within three seconds, press
andhold the Pair and ID buttons again, until the display shows a
blinking “A.” This indicates that all your paired ID numbers have
been cleared.
3. After blinking three seconds, the “A” will change to “-” to indicate
that there are no paired transmitters.
Ten Tips to Obtain the Best Results
1. Use only fresh alkaline or fully charged replaceable batteries for the
transmitter.
2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstructions
between it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight
is best.
3. The transmitter and the receiver should be as close together as con-
veniently possible, but not less than 6' (2 m).
4. While System 10 has been designed to conveniently mount on
cameras, please keep other wireless devices (including wireless
systems and routers) away from System 10 receivers. For best
performance, some routers and Wi-Fi-based wireless systems may
need to be up to 30 feet away from System 10 receivers.
5. The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal.
6. Use the transmitter level control to optimize performance for your
sound source.
7. If the receiver output is set too low, the overall signal-to-noise ratio
of the system may be reduced. Conversely, if the Attenuator of the
receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the camera/
mixer, causing distortion. Adjust the output level of the receiver so
the highest sound pressure level going into the camera/mixer causes
no input overload, and yet permits the camera/mixer level controls
to operate in their “normal” range (not set too high or too low). This
provides the optimum signal-to-noise for the entire system.
8. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if the
transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
9. Unplug the receiver from the AC outlet when the system is not
in use.
System Operating Frequencies
Automatic Frequency Selection
System 10 wireless systems operate in automatically selected frequen-
cies in the 2.4 GHz range, far from TV and DTV interference. Up to eight
channels may be used together without any frequency coordination
problems or group selection issues. Every time a receiver/transmitter
pair is powered on, it automatically selects clear frequencies. Due to
the dynamic nature of System 10 automatic frequency selection, these
transmitting frequencies may change during power-up or performance if
interference is encountered. These frequency changes occur at both the
receiver and transmitter; they are seamless and imperceptible to the ear.
