Frequently Asked Questions - ATS10R Monacor

How to turn on the ATS-10R receiver?

Set the switch (3) to the ON position. The BATT. LOW LED (4) flashes briefly red then stays green. In STAND BY position, the device is on but muted.

How to select the transmission channel?

Use the rotary CHANNEL SELECT switch (10) on the side of the device with a narrow object (screwdriver). Turn it to one of the 16 positions. Make sure the transmitter is set to the same channel.

What to do if the red LED stays on permanently?

This indicates that the batteries or rechargeable batteries are almost empty. Replace or recharge them as soon as possible.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

Yes, you can use 1.2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries type R6. They can be charged directly in the device via an ATS-10PS charging station or an ATS-12C/ATS-30C case.

How to connect an earphone?

Plug the supplied earphone into the 3.5 mm jack marked EAR (2). The built-in speaker is then automatically disconnected.

What is the maximum range of the receiver?

The range is approximately 190 meters under optimal conditions, but it can be reduced by obstacles or interference.

How to clean the receiver?

Use a dry, soft cloth. Never use chemicals or water, as they could damage the device.

Can I use multiple receivers with one transmitter?

Yes, you can use multiple ATS-10R receivers with one ATS-10TM transmitter, provided they are all set to the same channel. Up to 7 channels can operate simultaneously without interference.

What to do if reception is poor or disturbed?

Try changing the transmission channel, reduce the distance between transmitter and receiver, remove obstacles, or adjust the transmitter antenna to improve reception.

How to dispose of the receiver at end of life?

In accordance with local regulations, do not dispose of the device or batteries/rechargeable batteries in household waste. Take them to designated collection points.

3 Applications

In combination with one receiver or several receivers of the type ATS-10R and a transmitter ATS-10TM, a wireless 16-channel audio transmission system operating in the frequency range of 863 – 865 MHz can be set up. The system is ideally suited for applications where the signal of a single audio source is to be fed to several persons, e. g. guided tours or multilingual lectures.

3.1 Conformity and approval

Herewith, MONACOR INTERNATIONAL declare that the receiver ATS-10R and the transmitter ATS-10TM comply with the directive 2014/53/EU. The EU declarations of conformity are available on the Internet: www.monacor.com

The units are generally approved for operation in EU and EFTA countries. The operation of the units is licence-free and requires no registration.

4 Inserting Batteries

1) Slightly press the grooves on the battery compartment cover (11) while pulling the cover downwards at the same time.
2) Insert two 1.5 V batteries or rechargeable 1.2 V NiMH batteries of size AA with the positive and negative connections as printed in the compartment.
3) Replace the cover and make sure it en gages.

Never put batteries in the household waste. Always dispose of the batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Hint: For quick and easy charging of the rechargeable batteries used in ATS-10R and ATS-10TM, MONACOR offers special chargers:

• charging station ATS-10PS for charging the batteries of up to 2 units at the same time
  – charging case ATS-12C for charging the batteries of up to 12 units at the same time

- charging case ATS-30C for charging the batteries of up to 30 units at the same time

5 Connections

On each unit, screw the supplied antenna (5) into the threaded jack ANT. (1).

Transmitter: The integrated microphone (7) or the supplied tie clip microphone may be used. When using the tie clip microphone, connect it to the jack MIC. (2) [the integrated microphone is switched off in this case]. Place the supplied windshield on the tie clip microphone. Fasten the microphone to your clothes (e.g. tie, lapel) via its clip.

Receiver: The sound can be reproduced via the integrated speaker (7) or via the supplied earphone. When using the earphone, connect it to the jack EAR. (2) [the speaker is switched off in this case] and attach the earphone to your ear.

6 Operation

1) With the channel selector switch CHANNEL SELECT (10) on the transmitter, select the channel for transmission from the 16 transmission channels: Use a narrow object, e. g. screwdriver, to set the switch to one of the 16 positions.

Example:

In this switch position, channel 1 is selected.

On the receiver(s), set the switch CHANNEL SELECT (10) to the same channel.

2) Switch on the transmitter: Set the sliding switch (3) to ON. (In the mid-position STAND BY, the transmitter is also switched on but it is mute, i. e. no sound is transmitted.) After switching on, the LED BATT. LOW (4) briefly flashes in red before permanently showing green.

Switch on the receiver(s): Set the sliding switch (3) to ON. (In the mid-position STAND BY, the receiver is also switched on but it is mute, i. e. no sound is reproduced via the speaker or

earphone.) After switching on, the LED BATT. LOW (4) briefly flashes in red before permanently showing green. (If the LED shows a dim green light only, no radio signal is received, i. e. the transmitter is switched off or set to a different channel than the receiver.)

If the LED BATT. LOW of a unit permanently shows red, the batteries are almost discharged.

3) On the transmitter, speak into the integrated microphone or into the microphone connected and use the control VOL (6) to adjust the volume for the audio signal transmitted.

On the receiver(s), use the control VOL (6) to adjust the reproduction volume.

4) In case of poor or disturbed reception, check if

a) the reception can be improved by using a different transmission channel.
b) the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is too long.
c) the reception is disturbed by objects in the transmission path.
d) the reception can be improved by turning the antenna of the transmitter.

5) To switch off the units, set the sliding switch (3) to OFF:

Transmitter: The LED BATT. LOW (4) turns from green to red before it is extinguished.

Receiver: The LED BATT. LOW (4) briefly flashes in red before it is extinguished.

Note concerning multichannel operation:

The number of channels to be used in parallel depends on the conditions at the place of application (e. g. on interference due to other wireless systems or high-frequency sources such as fluorescent lamps). In ideal conditions, up to seven channels can be operated at the same time without mutual interference. Two examples of a suitable channel selection for four wireless transmission paths:

Example 1:

channel 0 – channel 2 – channel 5 – channel B

Example 2:

channel 5 – channel 8 – channel E – channel F
