Thank you for purchasingAzden's 105wirelessmicrophonesystem. Dependingon
which systemyou ordered this packagewill containone or more of the following compo-
nents:the 105UPR receiver,the 15BTbody-pack transmitterwith EX-503Llavalier mi-
crophone,the 15XTXLR plug-in transmitterandlor the 15HThandheldmicrophone
transmitter. This equipment isdesignedprimarilyfor video cameras but is usable with
most electronic componentshaving a microphonelevel input.The 105UPRallows you to
"receive"audio from one transmitterat a time.
RECEIVER (105UPR)

polarityiscorrect as markedinside the battery compartment.
(3) POWER:
Switchesthe receiver "ON" or "OFF".
(4) MIC OUTjack:
The 105UPRis suppliedwith a mini-to-minicable.
For minijack microphoneinputs: Usethe supplied mini-to-minicable. Plug one
end of the cable intothe receiverand the other end of the cable into the micro-
phone input of the video camera.
For 3-pin XLR microphoneinputs: Usethe optionalmini-to-XLRcable (MX-1).
Plugthe mini-plugend of the cable intothe receiver (use the screw-downsleeve
to secure itto the receiver)and plugthe XLR end of the cable intothe micro-
phone input of the video camera.

(5) FrequencySelection:
Frequencyadjustmentis accomplishedbysettingthe controls inside the battery com-
partment.With the frequency GROUP dial on the left (columnA on the included chart)
you can select any of 10frequencygroups (numbered0-9). With the frequency CHAN-
.1
NEL dial on the right (column B on the includedchart) you can select any of 10frequency
channels (numbered 0-9). There are 92 possiblecombinations.
(6) PhoneJack:
Plugan earphone into thisjack to monitorthe sound. Thejack is wired to work with either
monoor stereo headphones(youwill hear mono in bothears).
(7) LED indicator:
This LED turns
RED when the receiver isturned "ON" and GREEN when receivinga
signal from the transformer.

(8) Phone OutputAdjustment: Usingthe supplied tool, turn the screw clockwiseto in-
crease earphone level and counterclockwiseto decrease.
(9) Shoe-Mount:
Attach the 105UPRto the shoe-mountof the video cameraby slidingit into place. Turn
the thumbwheel clockwise to tighten. Reverse this procedureto remove.
(10)Antenna: For best receptionthe antenna should be pointedin an upwardfashion.
Usecaution, and do not force it intothis position.

tery polarity is correct as markedinsidethe batterycompartment.
In additionto the battery, insidethe batterycompartment you will find:
(13) MIC lnput LEVEL Control:
This control enablesyou to adjust the inputlevelof the microphone. Usingthe supplied
tool, turn the dial clockwiseto increase,or counterclockwiseto decrease the input level.
(14) POWER:
Switchesthe transmitter "ON"or "OFF",
(15) MIC lnput Jack:
Plugthe supplied EX-503Lmicrophoneinto the MIC inputjack and tighten the collar until
snug (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). In addition to the EX-503L, other lapel andlor headset
microphoneswith 3.5mm mini plugs can also beusedwithithe 15BT.
(1 6) Frequency Selection:
Frequencyadjustmentis accomplished by setting the controls inside the batterycom-
partment.With the frequency GROUP dial on the left (column A on the includedchart)
you can select any of 10frequency groups (numbered 0-9). With the frequency CHAN-
NELdial on the right (column Bon the included chart) you can select any of 10frequency

(17) Audio Standby:
The AudiolStandby switch ierves as a muteswitch. In the STBY position the audioout-
putfrom the 15BT is mutedwhile in the ON positionaudio is transmitted.

XLR PLUG-IN TRANSMITTER (15XT)
(19) Open the batterycompartment lid and insert 2 fresh "AA" Alkaline batteries.Make
sure the battery polarityiscorrectas marked insidethe batterycompartment
(20) POWER:
Switchesthe transmitter"ON"or "OFF"
(21)AUDIO:
Priorto first turning the 15XT"ON" itis bestto set the AUDIO switch to "OFF". When
'i you are ready to begintransmitting, switchto "ON". The "OFF" position acts as a
'mutete"that maintainsthe RF signal but turns off the audio.
(22)MIC ConnectorlLockingRing:
This 3-pinXLR connectoris the microphone input. Any low impedance microphone
with a correspondingconnectorcan beattached here. Once the microphone is plugged
intothe 15XTthe lockingringshould be rotatedclockwiseuntilsnug. To remove the
microphone,first rotatethe locking ringcounterclockwiseand then, while pressing the
XLR release, pullthe microphoneaway from the 15XT.
(23) MIC Input LEVEL Control:
The MIC input LEVEL controlenablesyou to adjust the inpdlevel.ofthe connected
microphone. Usingthe supplied tool, turn the dialclockwiseto increase, or counter-
clockwiseto decreasethe inputlevel.
(24) Frequency Selection:
