Setting Up And Using The Series One System - Samson UHF Serie Manual Del Propietário

Setting Up and Using the
Series One System
The basic procedure for setting up and using your UHF Series One Wireless System
takes only a few minutes:
1. For the Series One system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be
set to the same channel. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for
future service) and check to make sure that the supplied UR1 receiver and UT1L, UT1G
or UH1 transmitter are set to the same channel. If these channels do not match, contact
your distributor or, if purchased in the United States, Samson Technical Support at
1-800-372-6766.
2. Physically place the UR1 receiver where it will be used (the general rule of thumb is to
maintain "line of sight" between the receiver and transmitter so that the person using or
wearing the transmitter can see the receiver). An optional rack-mount kit (available from
your Samson dealer) allows the UR1 to be mounted in a standard 19" rack if desired.
Extend both "A" and "B" antennas and place both in a vertical position.
3. Make sure the Power on-off switch in your UT1L / UT1G belt-pack or UH1 handheld
transmitter is set to "Off."
4a. If your system contains a UT1L or UT1G belt-pack transmitter, locate the battery
cover release and slide the lever down to open the battery door, which is hinged and not
intended to be removed from the transmitter case. Please use care when opening this
door as undue force will destroy the hinge.
4b. If your system contains a UH1 handheld transmitter, unscrew the bottom section of
the microphone by turning it counterclockwise and then slide it off.
5. Place a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to
observe the polarity markings. If you are using a UT1L or UT1G belt-pack transmitter,
gently replace the battery door by swinging it up and pressing until it clicks. If you are
using a UH1 handheld transmitter, replace the bottom section of the microphone by sliding
it on and then screwing it back on. Whichever transmitter you are using, leave it off for the
moment.
6. Make the physical cable connection between the UR1 output jack and the line or mic
level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. If you are using the balanced XLR jack
(preferable, since it will deliver an electromagnetically cleaner signal), be sure to set the
UR1 rear panel Audio Output Level switch correctly. If required, both the balanced and
unbalanced outputs can be used simultaneously. Leave your amplifier (and/or mixer) off
at this time.
7. Turn the AF Level knob on the UR1 completely counterclockwise. Using the strain
relief, connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC Input on the rear panel of the UR1, then
plug the adapter into any standard AC outlet. Press the front panel Power switch to turn
on the UR1; the red "Power" LED will light up, but all other front panel LEDs will remain
unlit.
8. Turn on the power to the UT1L, UT1G or UH1 transmitter (using its Power on-off
switch); the green "HIGH" Battery strength LED will light if the battery is sufficiently strong.
At this point, either the "A" or "B" green LED on the front panel of the UR1 will light
(depending upon which antenna is receiving the stronger signal). Also, one or more
segments in the UR1 front panel RF Level meter should light; the more are lit, the stronger
the RF signal. If only one or two segments light (indicating a relatively weak signal), try
relocating the UR1 or changing the position of one or both of its antennas. If all five
segments light, the UR1 is receiving an optimally strong RF signal and is placed and
positioned correctly.
