Handheld Transmitter Battery Installation
1. While holding the lower body cover (near the LCD window), grasp
the upper part of the transmitter body just below the grille and
unscrew it at least four complete turns (Fig. G); then slide the
lower body cover down until it stops (Fig. H). Once the cover
has been lowered, turn the transmitter over to reveal the battery
compartment on the side opposite the LCD window.
2. Observe correct polarity as marked inside the battery compartment
and carefully insert two fresh 1.5V AA batteries (Fig. L). Insert the
first battery and slide it down. Then insert the second battery,
bottom first, into the space remaining. Make certain the batteries
are fully seated in the battery compartment.
3. Slide the lower body cover back up the body, then screw the
housing together. Do not overtighten.
Note: Remove batteries from the handheld transmitter starting at
the bottom (– end) of the top battery (Fig. L). The top (+ end) of the
top battery is captured in a recess and will not come straight out.
Battery Condition Indicator
After the batteries are installed, turn the power on by pressing and
holding the Power/Mute button. The small power-on LED (Fig. E/F)
should light green and the LCD window should come on. If this does
not happen, the batteries are installed incorrectly or they are dead.

transmitter is not to be used for a period of time.
A 4-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function
menu, serves to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best
modulation with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB,
+6 dB, 0 dB and -6 dB. The default value is +6 dB. Select the highest
setting that does not result in over-modulation with the highest audio/
instrument input levels (an AF indication on the receiver no higher than
“0”).
ATW-T371b Transmitter
A 3-position audio input gain setting, selected through the function
menu, serves to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best
modulation with minimum distortion. Available choices are +12 dB, +6
dB, and 0 dB. The default value is +6 dB. In addition, a mechanical pad
switch on the condenser capsule (inside the screw-on wire mesh grille)
can provide another 6 dB of attenuation. For best performance, adjust
the input level using the function menu choices, keeping the capsule’s
mechanical switch at 0 dB. If more audio attenuation is needed than the
menu provides, then set the capsule’s pad switch to -6 dB.
RF Power Adjustment
RF power may be set to “RF HI” (30 mW nominal) or “RF LOW”
(10 mW nominal) through the function menu. The default setting is “RF
LOW”. While the High setting normally provides maximum operating
range, the Low setting will help extend battery life. The Low setting
may also be preferred in multichannel systems, or when operating very
close to the receiver, to reduce the possibility of interference
or overload.
RF Interference
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio
services. According to Federal Communications Commission
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...” If you
need assistance with operation or frequency selection, please contact
your dealer or Audio-Technica.
