10. Adjusting the Mute (RF Squelch)
The Mute (RF squelch) (14) controls both the A and B receiver channels. This control ranges from
01 (low mute sensitivity level) to 50, (high mute sensitivity level). The control should be adjusted
up to the highest reading at which the RF Level Meter (12) and the Diversity Indicator (13) will
remain on while your transmitter is in normal use, up to the maximum operating range anticipated in
use. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute may need to be adjusted. If the transmitter is
off and the receiver signal and the diversity indicator are flickering or stay on continuously, the mute
should be adjusted down to a lower reading (less sensitivity level) to stop the flickering. Be careful
not to select too low a reading as that will reduce the operating range below what is needed. A
range walk test will help in selecting the proper level needed. If the range is not critical, note that a
lower reading will also yield a quieter mute function, which might be desired in certain applications.
The mute level is factory preset at 50 for maximum sensitivity and operating range.
11. Audio Level and Peak LED Indicator
The UWS-1K receiver is equipped with a 5-segment AF LEVEL LED (15) display that lights up
sequentially indicating the level of the audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the
top (red) Peak LED on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If the Peak LED lights continuously,
decrease the volume to the transmitter or overload distortion may result.
12. Connecting the Audio Output
The UWS-1K audio output is set up for either balanced (fixed level) or unbalanced line (adjustable
level). The output is controlled by the Volume Control (16).
For balanced output with either a handheld mic or lavalier bodypack transmitter, plug an audio
cable with an XLR connector into the Balanced Output socket and plug the other end into your
amplifier or mixing board. For unbalanced output with either a handheld mic or lavalier bodypack
transmitter, plug an audio cable with a 1⁄4” mono plug into the (AUX) line out and plug the other
end into your amplifier or mixing board. For an instrument transmitter system, use the (AUX) output
connects directly to your own system. The system output is approximately +4dB higher than a direct
cord-to-amp connection.
(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the
minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.)
Your UWS-1K is now operational and ready to use. Now that you have completed the above step,
proceed to instructions for the UH-1K or UB-1K transmitter included with your system. (Please note:
Only one transmitter can be used with one UWS-1K receiver. It is not possible too use two transmit-
ters on the same frequency and mix the output of these transmitters into one wireless receiver.)
