10 SYSTEM OPERA TION Audio Level and Peak LED Indicator The U-800 receiver has a 5 bar AF LCD (7) display that typically shows a few bars indicating normal level audio signal from the transmitter . Occasional flickering of the fifth AF LCD (peak level) on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If the AF LCD lights up full bars continuously dec[...]

11 Programming the U-800 to the Selected Gr oup/Channel (frequency) The Receiver must be programmed for a Group/Channel (frequency) first then auto- matic synchronization using the IR ASC™ Sync function to the transmitter . For system set up procedures, see next section “6. Selecting Group/Channel, IR Pr o- gramming and Simultaneous Multichann[...]

12 Note: : The windscreen of the UH-800 functions as a built-in antenna. For proper operation, never remove the windscreen during use, or exchange with another type. For optimum range maintain line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver whenever possible. Holding the microphone tightly , bridging across the windscreen and Mic tube, will [...]

13 T o preser ve batter y life, tur n the transmitter off when not in use. T o turn the transmit- ter off, slide the POWER ON/OFF (42) switch to the OFF position.

17 Feedback Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) by taking care in selecting P A volume, transmitter location and speaker placement. Please also note the pickup pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Unidirectional microphones are more resistant to feedback. However , they pick up sound sources best that are directly in fron[...]

18 • 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 is set too high, it may overdrive the input of the attached audio mixer , causing distor tion. Conversely , if the output is set too low , the overall signal-t[...]
