RADIO Menu SET FREQ Adjusts group, channel or frequency. RF PWR LVL Selects 10 mW or 50 mW power level DISABLE RF Disables RF transmission. RF OFF appears on home screen. ENABLE RF (if disabled) Enables RF transmission Audio Settings AUDIO Menu SENS/GAIN > SENS Adjusts input level to match audio signal source. MIC: For microphones or mic-
level outputs LINE: For line-level outputs. SENS/GAIN > GAIN Adjusts audio output to the receiver incrementally from 10 db to +20 db. PHANTOM Adds phantom power for condenser microphones. Select 12V or 48V as required for the microphone. HPF (ROLLOFF) High-pass filter. Scroll up to turn on the filter and set the low-frequency rolloff in Hz. (Scroll all the way down to turn off.) 6 Utility Menu UTILITIES Menu LOCK Locks the transmitter to prevent changes to settings. MIC PRESET Acesses the preset list. DISPLAY Changes the home screen display format. BATTERY Sets battery type for more accurate battery life metering. CONTRAST Adjusts display contrast (press up/down). RESTORE Restores the factory default settings. Locking and Unlocking the Transmitter To lock the transmitter, select UTILITIES > LOCK. To unlock the transmitter:
1. From the home screen, hold the joystick to the right for 5 seconds or until UN-
LOCK? appears. 2. Push right again. An on-screen key appears showing the joystick sequence to unlock the transmit-

To exit, continue to scroll right past the last character. Copy and Paste Preset List 1. On the destination UR3: select UTILITIES > MIC PRESET Highlight MIC PRESET. 2. From the source UR3: select UTILITIES > MIC PRESET > COPY/PASTE. 3. Align the IR windows and press enter on the source UR3. SUCCESS appears on the LCD of the destination UR3. 9 Power on with RF OFF (RF Safety Mode) Use this to turn on the transmitter without transmitting RF. This allows you to change frequency settings on the transmitter without accidentally interfering with a frequency being used by another transmitter. 1) Hold joystick to the left (exit) while turning on the transmitter power. RF OFF is displayed on home screen. 2) Change and save your frequency settings as you normally would the transmit-
ter will not broadcast. 3) To transmit RF, power the transmitter off or turn the RF on thru the Main Menu, MAIN MENU>RADIO> ENABLE RF. 4) Change and save your frequency settings as you normally would the transmit-
