The ATW-R700 receiver is a compact, surface mounted unit with 8 selectable UHF frequencies and diversity switching antennas. The combination of UHF, diversity operation results in fewer drop outs and noise. The rear provides both balanced and unbalanced output connections for further flexibility.

Receiver Control and Functions:

1. ANTENNAS: Position the antennas as shown in Figure B1. Fully extend both antennas by pulling on the endcaps.

2. AF PEAK INDICATOR: Indicates when maximum transmitter modulation without distortion has been reached. Not affected by position of Volume control (Fig. C).

3. LED WINDOW: LED Display indicates channel setting and scanning operation.

4. DIVERSITY INDICATORS: Indicates which antenna (A or B) has better reception and is in operation

5. SELECT BUTTON (for manual channel selection):

Press the Select button repeatedly until desired channel is reached. Press and hold the Set/Scan button to manually set the receiver to indicated channel. Channel number will stop flashing. (A brief touch of the Set/Scan button will revert to previously set channel). If the Set button is not pressed within 10 seconds to confirm the selection, the system will revert to its original channel.

6. SET/SCAN BUTTON: The Set/Scan button can be used in two ways: 1) in conjunction with the Select button to permit manual selection of an operating channel in Manual Set

Mode (see “Select button” description above); and 2) Automatic Scan/Set Mode, to initiate the automatic channel scan and selection, as follows:

• Automatic Scan/Set Mode: Press and hold the Set/Scan button for about two seconds. The current channel will flash three times quickly; then the system will begin to scan for the next open channel. When it finds an open channel, it will flash the open channel three times and then set the channel. (If an open channel is not found, the automatic scan will return to the original channel and flash 5 times.)
