Quick Overview of System Operation
Thank you for purchasing this Audio-Technica 1800 Series Single-channel Camera-mount
UHF Wireless Microphone System. All 1800 Series Single-channel systems are designed
primarily to be used with video cameras, with the ATW-R1810 Receiver mounted on a camera
and connected to the camera's audio input; they may also be used with other components
equipped with microphone-level input.
First, insert batteries. (See Receiver Battery Installation, page 8.) Note:TheATW-R1810 Single-
channel Receiver also functions without batteries if connected to an external power sup-
ply (12V DC source, 500 mA nominal current, not included).
Next, attach the antennas to the antenna input jacks, and mount the ATW-R1810 Receiver to your
camera (mounting hardware not included); or use the included pouch with belt clip to attach the
ATW-R1810 to your belt. Connect the output cable to the AT W-R1810 and your video camera (or
audio mixer). (See Output callout, page 7).
Turn the ATW-R1810 on: Press and hold the Power/Set button until the Power LED lights red.
