UDR800 RECEIVER
1. Rack Mounting the Receiver
There are 2 options available (as accessories) for rack mounting the UDR800 receiver: single
or side-by-side with another UDR800 receiver.
A. Single Mounting (RPK89): Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from each side of
the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional wider RACK EARS (2). (see page 4)
B. Side-by-Side Double Mounting (RPK90): After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from
both UDR800 receivers, join the two receivers with the JOINING CLIP (3) and attach the
narrow RACK EARS (4) as shown. (see page 4)
(Note: Do not mount the receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high
heat — this could degrade the performance of the UDR800. Always ensure adequate airflow and
heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2. Powering the Receiver

Plug the 22V DC ADAPTER (28) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (6) on the back of the
receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Press the POWER SWITCH (9) once
to turn on the receiver. The POWER “ON” LED (10) will now light and the receiver is operational.

3. Antennas
The UDR800 receiver is equipped with attached dual FOLDING ANTENNAS (11). Optimal
positions of the antennas are 45° from the receiver (or 90° from each other). For maximum
range, it is always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no obstructions) between the receiver
antennas and the transmitter at all times whenever possible.

4. Adjusting the Mute Level/RF Squelch

The MUTE LEVEL/RF SQUELCH (24) can be changed anytime during the main screen display to
quiet the receiver in high noise environment conditions. The control ranges are from level 0 to
level 5. The level should be adjusted to a lower number to the minimum RF squelch setting at
which the RF INDICATOR (19) will remain on while your transmitter is in normal use, up to the
maximum operating range anticipated in use for your application. However, in areas of high
RF activity, the squelch control may need to be adjusted to a higher number. If the transmitter is
off and the receiver signal RF INDICATOR (19) or the diversity A or B INDICATOR (20) flickers
or stays on continuously, the squelch should be adjusted to a higher number to stop the
flickering. Be careful not to select too high a number setting as this may reduce the operating
range to below what is needed. A range walk test will help in selecting the proper level. If the
range is not critical, note that a higher level (maximum squelch) setting will also yield a quieter
mute function, which might be desired in certain applications. The squelch level is factory
preset at maximum sensitivity and operating range (i.e. level 0 for minimum squelch level —
maximum usable range).
(Note: For easier intuitive operation, the MIN and MAX indicators for this control refer to the
minimum and maximum operating range settings, not to the actual mute levels selected, which
are the opposite as per above.)

UDR800 RECEIVER
5. Audio Level and Peak LED Indicator
The UDR800 receiver has a 5-bar AF LCD (18) display that indicates normal level audio
signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the fifth AF LCD (peak level) on loud inputs
to the transmitter is normal. If the AF LCD (18) lights up full bars continuously, decrease
the input audio level to the transmitter or overload distortion may result.

6. Connecting the Audio Output

The UDR800 receiver provides both a fixed MIC level BALANCED MIC OUTPUT XLR (8) and
an adjustable unbalanced line level AUDIO OUTPUT 1/4”Jack (5).

UHT800 HANDHELD MIC TRANSMITTER

1. Microphone Battery Installation
Install batteries by unscrewing the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER (29) counterclockwise and
remove, exposing the BATTERY HOLDER (38). Insert two fresh AA ALKALINE BATTERIES (32),
observing the correct polarity, and screw the cover back on to the microphone. Make sure the
cover is screwed clockwise completely. Fresh alkaline batteries can last up to 10 hours in use,
but in order to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that you replace the batteries
after every 7-8 hours of use.

2. Programming UHT800 to Selected Group/Channel (Frequency)

The transmitter must be programmed to the same frequency as selected for the receiver via
automatic synchronization using the IR ASC™ Sync function. It can not be programmed on the
transmitter itself. See “Selecting the Receiver Group/Channel and Programming” in next
section. To manually IR program the receiver preselected frequency into the transmitter, place
the transmitter’s IR RECEPTOR SENSOR WINDOW (37) 6-12” away from the receiver’s
IR WINDOW (12). Press the MENU BUTTON (14) four times to the IR Screen then press the
UP BUTTON (13) to start IR programming. This flashing IR INDICATOR (22) icon indicates IR
transmission is in progress. When the synchronization is completed successfully, the
RF INDICATOR (19) and the diversity A or B INDICATOR (20) on the receiver will show up.
(See section on Selecting the Group/Channel (Frequency) and IR Programming for transmitters.)
(Note: If no button is pressed for a five second period during a selection, the program is
terminated and the process needs to be repeated.)

3. Operating the UHT800 Handheld MIC Transmitter

Turn on the UHT800 by sliding the AUDIO MUTE (36) to the OFF position first. Then slide
the POWER SWITCH (35) to the ON position. The TX LED INDICATOR (green) (33) will stay on to
indicate that the transmitter is on. The LOW BATTERY INDICATOR LED (red) (34) will stay OFF,
indicating usable-battery strength. In the case of a dead battery, the BATTERY INDICATOR
LED (34) will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be replaced. To preserve
battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use.
The microphone is now ready to use. The A or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATOR (20) on the
UDR800 receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter.
When ready to speak, slide the AUDIO MUTE (36) to the ON position.
(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so
that acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) will be avoided.)
(Note: The windscreen of the UHT800 functions as a built-in antenna.For proper operation,
never remove the windscreen during use, or exchange with another type. For optimum range,
maintain line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver whenever possible. Holding the
microphone tightly, bridging across the windscreen and mic tube, will also lessen range. Hold
MIC by the MIC tube housing only for optimum operation.)
For optimum performance, an AUDIO INPUT LEVEL (31) is provided. Adjust the gain by turning
the control with a small screwdriver. It is recommended that the level be set at about 1/2 maximum.
Experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high level peaks.

(Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise ratio, and is not
recommended.)

UBP800 BODY-PACK MIC TRANSMITTER

1. UBP800 Body-Pack Battery Installation
Open the BATTERY DOOR (47) by pulling on side tabs and swinging the lid open. Insert two fresh
AAA Alkaline Batteries into the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (46), observing the correct polarity.
Fresh alkaline batteries can last up to 8 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum
performance, it is recommended that the batteries be replaced after 5-6 hours of use.

2. Lavaliere MIC Connection/Operation

The UBP800 is provided with a 3.5 mm INPUT JACK (40) for connecting the audio input.
Connect the LAVALIERE MIC CORD (49) here. To secure the connection, turn the slip ring on
the plug clockwise to thread it on the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. To use the Lavaliere
MIC, attach it at chest level. Do not place it too close to the mouth. A distance of about six inches
usually works best. When ready to speak, slide the AUDIO MUTE SWITCH (41) to the ON
position.Slip the transmitter into a pocket or use the CLIP (48) on the rear of the unit to attach
to your clothes

3. Programming UBP800 to Selected Group/Channel (Frequency)

The transmitter must be programmed to the same frequency as selected for the receiver via
automatic synchronization using the IR ASC™ Sync function. It can not be programmed on the
transmitter itself. See “Selecting the Receiver Group/Channel and Programming” in next section.
To manually IR program the receiver preselected frequency into the transmitter, place the
transmitter’s IR RECEPTOR SENSOR WINDOW (45) 6-12” away from the receiver’s
IR WINDOW (12). Press the MENU BUTTON (14) four times to the IR Screen then press the
UP BUTTON (13) to start IR programming. This flashing IR INDICATOR (22) icon indicates
IR transmission is in progress. When the synchronization is completed successfully, the
RF INDICATOR (19) and the diversity A or B INDICATOR (20) on the receiver will show up.
(See section on Selecting the Group/Channel (Frequency) and IR Programming for transmitters)
(Note: If no button is pressed for a five second period during a selection, the program
is terminated and the process needs to be repeated.)

4. Operating the UBP800 Body-Pack MIC Transmitter

Turn on the UBP800 by sliding the AUDIO MUTE SWITCH (41) to the OFF position first, then
slide the POWER SWITCH (43) to the ON position. The bi-color LOW BATTERY INDICATOR (42)
will stay ON (green) indicating usable battery strength and that the transmitter is ON. In the case
of dead or low batteries, the LED will either not go on at all or will stay ON (red) continuously,
indicating that the batteries should be replaced with fresh ones. To preserve battery life, turn
the transmitter OFF when not in use. The A or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (20) on the
UDR800 receiver should now be lit, indicating that signal is being received from the transmitter.
(Note: The UBP800 is supplied with a removable ANTENNA (39). It should always be operated
with the supplied antenna. For optimum operating range, always maintain line-of-sight
between the transmitter and the receiver whenever possible.)

5. Microphone Use
Secure the connection from the LAVALIERE MIC (49) to the INPUT JACK (40) on the Body-Pack.
To use the LAVALIERE MIC (49), attach it to the body at chest level. Do not place the MIC too
close to the mouth. A distance of about six inches usually works best. When ready to speak,
slide the AUDIO MUTE SWITCH (41) to the ON position.

UBP800 BODY-PACK MIC TRANSMITTER

(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location, and speaker placement so
that acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be avoided. Please also note the pickup
pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Omni-directional mics pickup sound equally
from all directions, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Uni-directional mics are
more resistant to feedback, but best pick up sound sources that are directly in front of the mic.
Also, mics that are farther from the sound source, such as lavalieres, require more acoustic
gain and thus are more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as handheld models
that are used close to the mouth.)
For optimum performance, an INPUT VOLUME LEVEL (44) is provided. Adjust the gain by
turning the control with a small screwdriver. For lavaliere mic use, it is recommended that the
level be set at about 2/3 maximum. Experiment and set for maximum possible gain without
audible distortion on the high level peaks.
(Note: Turning down the gain too much can
compromise the signal-to-noise ratio and is
not recommended.)

SELECTING THE GROUP/CHANNEL, IR PROGRAMMING,

AND SIMULTANEOUS MULTICHANNEL OPERATION
(Note: The transmitter should be turned ON and ready for the IR communications with the
receiver IR receptor for the following process.)
(Note: If no button is pressed for a five second period during a selection, the program is
terminated and the process needs to be repeated.)
(Note: For normal operation, the transmitter should have the same channel as displayed on
the receiver.)
Choosing Group/Channel for the System
The receiver offers a choice of 15 groups: 10 that are Factory PRESET (Group 11 to 1A) and
5 that are User SELECTABLE (Group 1B to 1F). If the Factory PRESET Group mode is chosen,
only a limited numbers of channels are available in these groups. For most convenient setup,
each of these groups offers from 3 to 14 channels (depending on group selected) to choose
from that are factory preset for simultaneous multichannel operation compatibility and are
retained in memory after the receiver is powered off. For the User SELECTABLE Group 1B-1F
mode, a letter “U” will light up on the LCD DISPLAY (16) instead of the CHANNEL (23) number as
in the Factory PRESET Groups. Each User SELECTABLE Group has 800 channels to choose
from either by manually selecting a channel or using the Auto-Scan in 1MHz segment
increments at a time within the frequency band and they are retained in memory after the
receiver is powered off. This facilitates easy setup by enabling quick selection of stored
channels for any group, i.e, selecting any group will automatically display the last channel
selected for that group. See Frequency Listings section for available channels in each group.
The previous group and channel used is stored in memory automatically when receiver and
transmitter are turned off after operation. Selecting a different group on the receiver in
subsequent use will display a different channel as previously selected for that group, however,
the transmitter will need again to be sync’ed to that new frequency to complete the system
setup for operation.
TM
Receiver ASC /IR Sync GR/CH (Frequency)
If different frequencies than previously stored in both the receiver and transmitter memories
are needed, there are three ways to program the receiver and then sync the selected
Group/Channel to the transmitter: One-Touch Automatic ASC™/Auto Sync receiver to trans-
mitter, manual SCAN for Group/Channel, or manual select Group/Channel from the Factory
preset or User Selectable channel. Place the transmitter’s IR RECEPTOR SENSOR WINDOW
(37) 6-12” away from the receiver’s IR WINDOW (12) before starting the following steps.
• For One-Touch channel Autoscan and Automatic ASC™/Auto Sync from the receiver to the
transmitter, press the MENU BUTTON (14) once, wait for about 5 seconds, the receiver will
start the process automatically with no further user action required. A running bar in a clock-
wise direction on the LCD DISPLAY (16) shows the scanning process which normally takes
about two seconds. When it finds an interference-free channel, the receiver stores the
channel for use, and it will begin ASC™ sync IR download of the selected channel to the
transmitter automatically.
• To manually scan the selected Group/Channel, press the MENU BUTTON (14) twice for
the AUTOSCAN menu, press the UP BUTTON (13) once and it will start scanning.
A running bar in a clockwise direction shows the scanning process, which normally takes
about 2 seconds. When it finds an interference-free channel, it will display and store the
frequency/channel for use. It can be rescanned again for a new frequency by press-

SELECTING THE GROUP/CHANNEL, IR PROGRAMMING,

AND SIMULTANEOUS MULTICHANNEL OPERATION
ing the UP BUTTON (13) or by pressing the MENU BUTTON (14) twice to IR MENU (IR icon
will light up for IR function), then press the UP BUTTON (13) to start IR programming.
• To manually select Group/Channel, press the MENU BUTTON (14) once for GROUP (21)
selection for Factory PRESET Group 11 to 1A mode or User SELECTABLE Group 1B to 1F
mode. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the group. After selecting a group, press the
MENU BUTTON (14) twice for channel selection menu. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to
change the channels (frequencies) that are available in each group.
(Note: for Group11 to 1A, the CH (23) display will indicate the channel number chosen,
and for Group 1B to 1F only the letter “U” and the frequency chosen will be displayed. See
Frequency Listings section for available channels in each group.)
After finishing channel selection, press the MENU BUTTON (14) once or wait a few seconds
for IR MENU, and then press the UP BUTTON (13) to start IR programming.

This completes the GP/CH (frequency) programming. The next section outlines the procedure
for sync’ing the receiver’s programmed channel to the transmitter.
TM
Receiver ASC /IR Sync Manual Programming
To manually program the pre-selected Group/Channel (frequency) from the receiver to the
transmitter, place the transmitter’s IR RECEPTOR SENSOR WINDOW (37) 6-12” away from the
receiver’s IR WINDOW (12). Press the MENU BUTTON (14) four times to the IR Screen Display
and then press the UP BUTTON (13) to start IR programming. The flashing IR INDICATOR (22)
icon indicates IR transmission is in progress. When the synchronization is completed success-
fully (usually in less than 2 seconds), the RF INDICATOR (19) and the diversity A or B INDICA-
TOR (20) on the receiver will display, indicating that the IR linking is completed. The LCD
DISPLAY SCREEN (16) will show the selected channel. If the UP Button is not pressed during the
two seconds of active data transfer, the IR INDICATOR (22) will not flash, the LCD Display will
revert to the main menu, the receiver will not link to the transmitter, and the transmitter’s
previously programmed channel remains unchanged.

Instructions for the Setup of Simultaneous Multichannel Operation

This UDR800 receiver is capable of finding an open channel with its autoscan capability.
This built-in feature is a quick, convenient way to set up many wireless systems at the same
location for simultaneous multichannel operation.
If you are using multiple transmitters at the same location, set up the first transmitter and leave
it ON and keep it 10 feet away from the receivers and 1 foot or more between transmitters.
This avoids possible duplicate selection of the same channel as already selected for the first
receiver. Then start the autoscan function on the second receiver. Repeat this procedure for all
receiver/transmitters to be used in your system. Finally with all the transmitters ON, perform
a range walk test in the location these systems will be used in to check for potential crosstalk
interference in this application.
If you are not satisfied with any of the channels scanned, repeat the autoscan procedure for
that receiver again anytime for finding another free channel. This process can be simplified
if you select channels within Factory SELECTED Groups 11 to1A, as the channels within those
groups are mutually compatible (unless there is outside interference on any of the selected fre-

AND SIMULTANEOUS MULTICHANNEL OPERATION
quencies). If there is any such interference in your location, select as many channels as you
can using these 10 groups and then select additional open channels as needed (depending on
number of systems to be operated simultaneously) from Groups 1B to 1F. As noted above, all
these groups will retain in memory the previously selected channels for that group for easy
setup subsequently in that same location

FRONT PANEL LOCK-OUT

Locking Front Panel Controls
In order to avoid accidental re-programming or scanning, there is a Front Panel Lock-Out
feature. By pushing the MENU BUTTON (14) and the UP BUTTON (13) simultaneously, the
UDR800 will enter a lock-out state. A LOCK-OUT SYMBOL (27) will be displayed on the front
panel. The lock-out feature will inhibit the functions of the MENU, UP, and DOWN controls. To
unlock, press the MENU BUTTON (14) and the UP BUTTON (13) simultaneously again.

RF INTERFERENCE & FINDING OPEN CHANNELS

• The FCC mandates the following information be provided to all end users of this equipment:
CONSUMER ALERT: Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system.
Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions:
the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in
excess of 50mW); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device.
Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone
systems, and these rules are subject to change.
For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC)
or visit: www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/wirelessmic_factsheet.html
• If you encounter slight receiving interference when the transmitter is far from the receiver (from
other than an operating TV station on the same frequency), it can often be overcome by
adjusting the receiver‘s MUTE LEVEL/SQUELCH (24) — see Adjusting the Squelch. If receiving
interference on a selected channel with the transmitter off, you must reprogram the receiver and
transmitter to a different channel.
• To reprogram, you must first find an open channel. To do this, follow the procedure outlined in
Selecting the UDR800 Receiver Channel. With the associated transmitter off, scroll through the
channels to find one that shows no received signal (not lit) on the receiver’s RF INDICATOR (19)
and A or B INDICATORS (20). Also, neither of these LCDs should be lit on each of the three
immediately adjacent channels both above and below the selected channel for optimal
interference-free operation (i.e., in a field of seven total adjacent channels — with the channel used
in the middle). If operating multiple UDMS800 Series systems simultaneously, repeat this proce-
dure with every new channel being selected, with previously tuned systems all on, both
transmitters and receivers. Also see: Programming the Selected Group/Channel (frequency)
& IR Programming (Receiver & Transmitter) in the previous section.
• Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services. According to FCC
regulations, wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other
licensed operations in the band. If any interference is received by any government or non-
government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation or change frequencies.
The above statement is valid only for use in the U.S.A.
