1:  A/B Receiver LEDs- When signal is being received, one of these will be lit
orange, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver is currently being
used.  The UM1 constantly scans its two antennas and automatically selects
whichever is receiving the strongest, clearest signal.  This True Diversity switching is
completely inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtually elimi-
nating potential interference and phase cancellation problems.

6:  Battery holder- Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery here, being sure to
observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown.  We recommend the
Duracell MN 1604 type battery.  Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be
used, they do not supply adequate current for more than four hours.  
WARNING:  Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause severe
damage to the UM1 and will void your warranty.

12:  Level control- This knob sets the level of the audio signal being sent to the
headphones output (see #13 below).
13:  Headphones output - Connect a stereo headphone to this standard 1/8
(3.5 mm) mini-phone jack in order to monitor the signal being output by the UM1.
We recommend the use of 30 ohm headphones.  The level of the         headphone
signal can be set by adjusting the Level control (see #12 above).  Maximum output
is 240 mW @ 30 ohms).

1:  Power / Battery LED- This LED flashes once when the AH1 is first turned on and lights steadily red when there is less than 2 hours
of battery power remaining, indicating that the battery needs to be changed.
2:  Antenna- This permanently attached flexible antenna should be fully extended during normal operations.  See the “Setting Up and
Using the AirLine System” section on page 16 in this manual for more information about antenna...

4:  Mute switch- Move this switch in the direction of the arrow to mute the AH1; move it away from the arrow to unmute it and trans-
mit  audio signal.  Because the carrier signal remains during muting, no “pop” or “thud” will be heard.  Note that turning this off does
notturn off the transmitter power—it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal.  If you don’t plan on using
the AH1 for extended periods, turn it off power by using the power on-off switch (see...

As shown in the illustration above, the correct way to wear your
QV / QE Headset is over the ears, as you would wear a pair  of
eyeglasses.  Because the QV / QE Headset is specially designed to be
used up close, be sure to mount the microphone directly in front of
your lips.  To avoid feedback problems, take care not to cover the
mic capsule with your hand.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As shown in the illustration on the left, the rear
band of the headset should be positioned down at the base of...

The basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine System takes only a few minutes:
1.  For your AirLine 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 receiver and transmitter are set to the
same channel (a complete channel plan is printed on the inside back cover of this manual).  If these channels do not match,...

receiver.  If your system contains an AR1 receiver, its “Power/ RF” LED will light steadily red; if your system contains a UR1 receiver,
its “Power” LED will light steadily red.  (Note: The UM1 receiver has no “Power” LED indicator.)

13.  Temporarily turn down the level of your mixer/amplifier system and turn off the power to your transmitter, leaving the receiver on.
Then restore the previously set level of your mixer/amplifier.  With the transmitter off, the receiver output should be totally silent—if it
is, skip ahead to the next step.  If it isn’t (that is, if you hear some noise), you may need to adjust the receiver Mute (squelch) control.
When the Mute control is at its minimum setting, the AirLine system...
