receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the warranty,
and may cause improper operation.

All 3000 Series components feature soft-touch controls for
quick, easy access to a formidable range of functions; an LCD

The ATW-R3100 receiver is equipped with automatic frequency
scanning for easy set-up. It also features true diversity
reception. Two antennas feed two completely independent RF
sections on the same frequency; automatic logic circuitry
continuously compares and selects the superior received signal,
providing better sound quality and reducing the possibility of
interference and dropouts. Soft-touch controls provide
convenient access to a variety of functions, while an LCD
information display provides constant monitoring of system
operation, including indication of the transmitter’s battery
status. The receiver is half-width for a standard 1U 19" rack
mount; rack-mount adapters are included. Two receivers can
be mounted side by side, using an optional AT8630 joining-plate
kit.

The versatile ATW-T310 UniPak™ body-pack transmitter has
both low- and high-impedance inputs plus a bias connection,
for use with dynamic and electret condenser microphones, as
well as Hi-Z instrument pickups. In addition to its programmable
functions, the transmitter features a three-position sliding cover
to limit access, if desired, to just the Power/Mute button, or to
no controls, as appropriate for the application and user.

Transmitters in the 3000 Series use two 1.5V AA batteries for
economical operation and wide availability. The receiver and
both transmitters have “fuel gauge” battery condition indicators
with low-battery warnings.

An advanced Digital Tone Lock™ tone squelch system in the
ATW-R3100 receiver opens only when a 3000 Series transmit-
ter is detected, reducing the possibility of interference. As a
result, 3000 Series transmitters and receivers must be used
together and should not be used with components from
other Audio-Technica wireless systems, or with those of other
manufacturers.

Please note that in multiple-system applications there must be

for each input desired (only one transmitter for each receiver).

Introduction
Notice to individuals
with implanted cardiac pacemakers
or AICD devices:
Any source of RF (radio frequency) energy
may interfere with
normal functioning of the implanted device. All wireless
microphones have low-power transmitters (less than 0.05
watts output) which are unlikely to cause difficulty, especial-
ly if they are at least a few inches away. However, since a
“body-pack” mic transmitter typically is placed against the
body, we suggest attaching it at the belt, rather than in a shirt
pocket where it may be immediately adjacent to the medical
device. Note also that
