User's Manual

Preliminary 01/02
The microphone is now ready to use. The RECEIVED RF LEVEL (11a) icon and
either the A or B DIVERSITY STATUS ICONS (11b) on the UHF-16 receiver should
now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. The receiver MUTE LED
INDICATOR (X) should be off. When ready to speak, slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON
SWITCH (15) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio
Output Microphone Connection section of the above UHF-16 receiver instructions.
(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker
placement so that acoustic feedback, howling or screeching, will be avoided.)
The UHF-16 receiver is equipped with an AF DISPLAY (11c) icon, which displays up to
4 segments, depending on the strength of the audio signal from the transmitter.
Occasional flickering of the 4
th
bar segment of this display on loud inputs to the
transmitter is normal. If this segment displays continuously, and/or distortion is heard,
decrease the volume to the transmitter. Due to the wide available dynamic range,
generally no adjustment will ever be needed for the transmitter input gain. There is a
control under the mic ball assembly available for rare cases where it’s desirable to make
an input gain adjustment. For instructions on how to access this internal control, please
contact the Nady Systems Customer Service Department. See SERVICE section below.
(Note: Attn handheld mic users. Microphone element can easily be destroyed by the
buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a
windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it.)
Cautions
1. Feedback
Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that
acoustic feedback, howling and screeching, will be avoided. Please also note the pickup
pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Omnidirectional mics pick up sound
equally from all directions, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional
mics are more resistant to feedback, but pick up sound sources best that are directly in
front of the mic. Also, mics that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers,
require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source
mics such as handheld or headworn models that are used close to the mouth.
2. Microphone Damage
Note: headset and lavalier mic users. Microphone element can easily be destroyed by the
buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a
windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it.)
3. No Audio
If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute the transmitter must also be
configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted.
