Operating the System

WARNING

・Do not use other batteries than the ones specified in this manual. Do not mix a fresh battery with a used battery.

・When installing batteries, make sure battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.

・Remove the batteries if the products are not used for a long period of time.

・Do not submerge the products.

Because this is a frequency agile system, the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel number. To change the channel selection, use a small , sharp object such as the tip of a pen, and press the “UP” or “DOWN” button to the desired channel. Make sure both the receiver and transmitter are on the same channel.

310UDR Diversity Receiver

After installing new batteries, mount the receiver to your video camera with supplied shoe mount or hook & loop fastener. Select one of the supplied cables and connect the output on the receiver and input on the video camera. Turn the power switch to “ON” and the battery level indicator on the LCD display should come on. If not, check the batteries. When the 310UDR receives a signal from the transmitter, the reception level indicator will come on. If it does not, make sure both the receiver and the transmitter are on matching channels.

35BT Body-Pack Transmitter

Plug in the supplied EX-503L Lavalier Microphone and clip it to your subject. The microphones should be placed 4”-12” from the subject’s mouth. Clip the transmitter to a belt by using the supplied belt clip or place it in a pocket. Turn the power switch to

“ON” and the battery level indicator on the LCD display should come on. If not, check the battery. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound through the 310UDR Receiver’s phone output. If the sound is distorted, lower the MIC input level on the 35BT Transmitter. If there is not enough volume, raise the MIC input level on the Transmitter.

35XT Plug-in Transmitter

Attach the 35XT Transmitter to any low impedance microphone with a corresponding 3pin XLR connector. Turn the power switch on the 35XT Transmitter to “ON” position and the battery level indicator on the LCD display should come on. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound through the camera’s monitor output. If the sound is distorted, lower the MIC input level control on the 35XT Transmitter. If there is not enough volume, raise the level control on the Transmitter.

35HT Handheld Microphone/Transmitter

Turn the power switch on the 35HT Transmitter to “ON” position and the battery level indicator on the LCD display should come on. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound through the camera’s monitor output. Adjust the MIC input level control accordingly.

④ CHANNEL UP and DOWN Button

To change the channel number, use a small, sharp object, such as the tip of a pen, and press the UP or DOWN button until the desired channel number is shown on the LCD

Display. Keep the button pressed down to fast forward the channel numbers. Once the desired channel number is selected on the receiver, set the transmitter to the same number.

⑤ PHONE Jack

This jack allows you to monitor the sound.

⑥ MIC OUT Jack

The 310UDR is supplied with both mini-to-mini and mini-to-dual XLR cables.

For mini jack microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini-to-mini cable. Plug one end of the cable into the 310UDR Receiver and the other end into the microphone input of the video camera.

For 3-pin XLR microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini-to-dual XLR cable. Plug the mini-plug end of the cable into the 310UDR Receiver (use the screw-down sleeve to secure it to the receiver) and plug the XLR ends into the microphone inputs on the video camera.

⑦ Battery Compartment

Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down. Install two fresh alkaline “AA” batteries. Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment. Alkaline batteries are preferred, but Azden’s 1HR-3U rechargeable Ni-MH batteries may be used.

⑨ Install two fresh alkaline “AA” batteries. Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.

Inside the battery compartment, you will also find:

⑩ MIC Input Level Control

This control enables you to adjust the input level of the microphone. Using the supplied tool, also found inside the battery compartment, turn the orange dial clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the input level.

⑪ POWER Switch

Switches the 35BT Transmitter “ON” or “OFF”.

⑫ MIC Input Jack

Plug the supplied EX-503L Lavalier Microphone into the MIC input jack. In addition to the EX-503L, other lapel and/or headset microphones with 3.5mm mini plug may also be used with the 35BT.

⑬ LCD Display

The display shows the following information:

TV Ch – Transmit Channel Number (i.e. 30 – 01, 31 – 12, 33 – 47)

The TV – Transmit channel display is made of two parts. The first two digit number is the actual TV channel (30-33) and the second two digit is the transmit channel number (01-47).

Battery level by 3-bar indicator (3 bars = High, 1 bar = Low)

⑭ AUDIO Switch

It is best to set the AUDIO switch to “OFF” prior to first turning the POWER switch “ON”.

When you are ready to begin transmitting, turn the AUDIO “ON”. The “OFF” position acts as “mute” that maintains the RF signal but turns off the audio.
