7. UH-81 Transmitter Set Up
• Release the
Battery cover (11) by pressing the locking tab and slide down as
per arrow, exposing the
Battery holder (12). Insert two fresh AA alkaline or NiMH
batteries, observing the correct polarity as marked, and slide the battery cover back
on to the microphone. Make sure the cover is closed completely. Fresh alkaline
batteries can last up to 10 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum performance,
it is recommended that you replace the battery after every 6-8 hours of use. NiMH
batteries should be replaced with fresh ones recharged fully (with separate charger, not
supplied, and as per its charging instructions) whenever low or dead battery status is
indicated as per the following.
• Turn on the UH-81 by sliding the
ON/STDBY/OFF switch (13) to the STANDBY
position first (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio
both on). The
Battery indicator LED (14) will give a single quick flash, indicating
usable battery strength. In the case of dead or low batteries, the LED will either not
go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be replaced
with fresh ones. To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use.
• The microphone is now ready to use. The
RF Signal LED (7) on the corresponding
channel of the U-81 OCTAVO receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal
from the same frequency transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the
ON/STDBY/OFF
switch (13) to the ON position.
• Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Connecting Audio Outputs, section 6 of
the U-81 OCTAVO receiver instructions above.
[Note: 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.
Omni-directional mics pick up sound equally from all directions, and are prone to
feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics, as provided with the UH-81, 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].

TIPS
• If the Volume Control of the receiver is set too high, it may overdrive the input of the
mixer, causing distortion. Conversely, if the output is set too low, the overall signal-
to-noise ratio of the system may be reduced. Adjust the output level of the receiver
such that the highest sound pressure level going into the microphone causes no input
overload in the mixer, and yet permist the mixer level control to operate in the normal
range (not too high and not too low). This provides the optimum signal-to-noise for the
entire system.
• Do not place the receiver antennas within 3 feet (1 meter) of another receiver or antennas.
• The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal surface.
• For the best operation, the receiver should be placed at least 3 feet above the ground
• The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal surface.
• For the best operation, the receiver should be placed at least 3 feet above the ground
and 3 feet away from a wall or metal surfaces. All operating transmitters should be
also at least 3 feet from the U-81 OCTAVO receiver. Keep antennas away from noise
source such as motors, automobiles, neon light, signal processor, computer, as well as
large metal objects.
• A single receiver cannot receive signal from two or more transmitters on the same
frequency simultaneously.
• For operation with an external antenna, low loss RF shielded cable should be used and
the length of the cable should not exceed 10 feet (3 meters).
• Position the receiver such that it has the least possible obstructions between it and the
transmitter. Line of sight is best!
• The transmitter and the receiver should be as close as possible but never less than
1 meter.
• Before inserting the batteries, please make sure that they are inserted according to the
correct polarity.
• Use only brand new alkaline batteries. Do not use “general purpose” batteries. When
batteries are weak, replace the batteries altogether at the same time. Do not mix and
use new and old batteries together.
• Turn the transmitter off when it is not in use. Remove the batteries if it is not to be used
for a long period.
• Headset and lavalier mic users, note that the 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 at all times to protect it.
