Transmitter Setup
Battery Selection and Installation
Each transmitter uses two 1.5V AA batteries, not included. Alkaline
type is recommended. Always replace both batteries. Make certain
the transmitter power is Off before replacing batteries.
UniPak ® Transmitter Battery Installation
1. Open the battery compartment door as follows: Slide door lock
down to the unlocked position. Pinch the release arrows together
to open the compartment. ( Figure H )
2. Observe correct polarity as marked on the metal contacts on the
door and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline batteries
( Figure J ).
3. Close the door, making certain the latch clicks securely in place.
4. Slide the door lock up to the locked position.

Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation
1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window),
grasp the upper part of the transmitter body just below the grille
and unscrew it at least four complete turns ( Figure K ); then slide
the lower body cover down until it stops ( Figure L ). Once the
cover has been lowered, turn the transmitter over to reveal the
battery compartment on the side opposite the LCD window.
2. Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery
compartment and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA alkaline
batteries ( Figure M ). Insert the first battery and slide it down.
Then insert the second battery, bottom first, into the space
remaining. Make certain the batteries are fully seated in the
battery compartment.
3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw the
housing together. Do not overtighten.
Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting at the
bottom (– end) of the top battery ( Figure M ). The top (+ end) of the
top battery is captured in a recess and will not come straight out.
Battery Condition Indicator
After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by pressing and
holding the Power/Mute button. The small dual-color Power/Mute
LED (see
Figure P/Q on page 17/18.) should light and the LCD
window should come on. If this does not happen, the batteries are
installed incorrectly or they are dead. The transmitter’s “fuel gauge”
battery indicator displays a maximum of four bar segments. When
the LCD flashes “LOW.BAT”, the batteries should be replaced
immediately to ensure continued operation. (The receiver also
displays the transmitter’s battery condition in the LCD window with
bar segments; the Alert indicator and a flashing “LOW.BAT” come
on to warn of a low-battery condition.)
UniPak Transmitter Input Connection
Connect an audio input device (microphone or guitar cable) to the
audio input jack on the transmitter. A number of Audio-Technica
professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-
terminated with a UniPak input connector. The cable connector
latches automatically when inserted into the transmitter jack. To
unlatch and remove the connector, simply pull up on the connector’s
knurled metal collar.
UniPak Transmitter Antenna
The AEW-T1000a transmitter includes two field-replaceable antennas.
A flexible-wire antenna is supplied mounted on the transmitter, while
a separate short, helical antenna is supplied with the accessories.
Either antenna simply screws into the transmitter’s antenna fitting.
Check the installed antenna occasionally to make certain it is snugly
attached (only finger-tight). The helical antenna is more convenient
physically but may not have the operating range of the wire
antenna. The wire antenna should extend, at its full length, from
the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with
different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; try the
wire antenna; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt to
modify either transmitting antenna. Replace them only with the same
parts, available from the Audio-Technica Service Department.
