Power/Mute Locks
Setting Description
NO.LOC The normal Power and Mute functions are
fully operational.
ALL.LOC Power is locked On and Mute is locked Off when
“ALL.LOC” is applied. When in the ALL.LOC mode,
the transmitter may be turned off by (1)
re-accessing the .LOC Menu and changing the
setting, (2) pressing and holding the Up arrow
button and the Set button at the same time, until
the power goes off, or (3) removing and re-installing
the batteries. When the transmitter is turned on
again, it will power up in the NO.LOC mode.
MUT.LOC In this mode, the audio cannot be muted (Mute
function is locked Off). The Power functioning is
unaffected.
“Mute” Note: If ALL.LOC or MUT.LOC is applied
while the transmitter is muted, pressing the Power/
Mute button once will return the transmitter to
un-muted operation; thereafter the Mute function is
disabled (Mute Off) until the .LOC setting is
changed again.
PWR.LOC Power is locked On when “PWR.LOC” is applied.
The Mute functioning is unaffected. When in
the PWR.LOC mode, the transmitter may be turned
off by: (1) Re-accessing the .LOC Menu and
changing the setting, (2) Pressing and holding the
Up arrow button and the Set button at the same
time, until the power goes off, or (3) Removing and
re-installing the batteries. When the transmitter is
turned on again, it will power up in the NO.LOC
mode.
Note: Only the ALL.LOC or PWR.LOC Power
function will change when batteries are removed;
NO.LOC and MUT.LOC settings remain stored in
memory.
If an action is attempted that currently is locked out, the transmitter
LCD will briefly display “LOCKED”, then return to its previously
displayed contents.
Whenever any lock condition is applied to a transmitter, its
associated receiver will display a small “TX LOCK” in the LCD
window, just to the right of the frequency.

Audio Input Selector
The UniPak ® body-pack transmitter provides input connections for
both low-impedance (Lo-Z) microphones and high-impedance (Hi-Z)
instruments. A wide range of Audio-Technica Wireless Essentials
®
microphones and cables is available pre-terminated with the
appropriate professional latching connector.
Selection of the desired input – microphone or instrument – is made
through the function menu. Depending upon the input selected, a
small “MIC” or “INST” will continue to show in the LCD window,
just below the frequency. (In the handheld transmitters, “MIC” will
always show in the LCD window.)
Setting Audio Input Level
AEW-T1000a UniPak ® : A 10-position audio input gain setting,
selected through the function menu, serves to match the audio input
level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion.
Available choices are +12 dB to –6 dB in 2 dB steps. The default
value is +6 dB.
AEW-T4100a and AEW-T6100a Dynamic Handhelds: A 4-position
audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, serves
to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation
with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB to –6 dB in 6
dB steps. The default value is +6 dB.
AEW-T3300a and AEW-T5400a Condenser Handhelds: A 3-position
audio input gain setting, selected through the function menu, serves
to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation
with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB, +6 dB and 0
dB. The default value is +6 dB. In addition, a mechanical pad switch
on the condenser capsule (inside the screw-on wire mesh grille) can
provide another 6 dB of attenuation. For best performance, adjust the
input level using the function menu choices, keeping the capsule’s
mechanical switch at 0 dB. If more audio attenuation is needed than
the menu provides, then set the capsule’s pad switch to –6 dB.
For all transmitters: Select the highest audio level setting that does
not result in over-modulation with the highest audio/ instrument input
levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than “+3”); watch
the receiver’s “AF” meter “+6” indication and the Alert light to make
certain they are not triggered often by the highest audio levels.
The transmitter’s dual-color Power/Mute LED, which is on during
normal operation, will blink off if the peak audio input reaches
overload level.
