11 Y our 8W-1KU receiver is now operational and ready to use. Once you have completed the above steps, proceed to the following instructions for the HT -1KU Handheld or BT - 1KU Instrument transmitter . Note: Only one transmitter can be used with one receiver . It is not possible to use two transmitters on the same frequency and mix the output of t[...]

HT -1KU Handheld Microphone T ransmitter Setting up the T ransmitter The HT -1KU requires two AA size batteries to operate. T o install the batteries onto the battery compartment, unscrew the Battery Compartment Cover (22) by turning counterclockwise until loose and slide down the cover , exposing the Battery Compartment (35). Insert two fresh AA b[...]

13 IR Sync Programming: Use the wireless IR LED Receptor Sensor (34) to download pre-programmed channels from the receiver . Start programming by holding the IR Receptor Sensor/Window about 6” in front the receiver to be used. On the receiver , when short pressing the ASC IR Sync Button (5), while the main menu is displayed, the IR Infrared LED ([...]

14 decrease the RF power (reduced range). This is a useful feature as the “L” setting increases battery life and also optimizes the number of channels that can be used simultaneously in a given location. Use this setting for normal use not requiring maximum operating range. A range walk test before use will determine which setting is best for y[...]

15 should stay lit as possible, indicating usable battery strength. As the batteries weaken, fewer of the level indicators stay lit until only one bar shows, which will then flash to warn that the batteries are now too low and should be replaced as soon as possible. T o preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use. T o turn the [...]

16 at -10dB for L T/HM and 0dB for GT . These settings are optimal for most applications. For normal operation, the transmitter should have the same Group/Channel as displayed on the receiver . The default factory setting is Group 01 (Receiver 1) and 02 (Receiver 2), 03 (Receiver 3) and 04 (Receiver 4), Group 05 (Receiver 5) and 06 (Receiver 6), 07[...]

• For optimal operation with external antennas, low loss RF shielded cable should be used and the length of the cable should not exceed 10 ft. (3 m). • The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal surfaces whenever possible as they can reflect away or shield the incoming RF signal. • If the receiver’ s volume control i[...]

• When using the BT -1KU bodypack for instrument use: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when an electric guitar with dirty pots or connections is used with a wireless system. Therefore, the supplied capacitor provides first-order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should y[...]
