TIPS  
SYSTEM FEATURES  
• The receiver antennas should be kept away from any metal surface.  
UHF-24 Receiver  
• If the Volume Control of the receiver is set too high, it may over-drive the input of the mixer, caus-  
ing distortion. Conversely, if the output is set too low, the overall signal to noise ratio of the system  
may be reduced. Adjust the output level of the receiver such that highest sound pressure level  
going into the microphone causes no input overload in the mixer, and yet permits the mixer level  
control to operate in the normal range (not too high and not too low). This provides the optimum  
signal to noise for the entire system.  
• Before inserting the batteries, please make sure that they are inserted according to the correct  
polarity.  
• Use only brand new alkaline batteries. Do not use “general purpose” batteries. When batteries are  
weak, replace the batteries altogether at the same time.  
• Two discrete UHF wireless receivers in one housing, for simultaneous operation of two transmit-  
ters  
• Back panel Balanced XLR mic level outputs, unbalanced 1⁄4” jack line level sum output, and sepa-  
rate volume, and external adjustable mute controls for each channel  
• Front panel LED display indicates TX signal received and 5-segment AF level displays for each  
channel.  
• Front panel dual telescoping retractable antennas  
• Exclusive patented companding circuitry and highest quality audio for an unsurpassed 120dB  
dynamic range  
• Operates on select UHF frequencies within separate bands 902-928 and 944-952 MHz  
Tone Squelch circuitry eliminates On/Off pop and protection from RF interference  
• Half-rack receiver and unique snap-out panel locking tabs design for single or dual receivers  
(side-by-side) optional rack mounting  
• Position the receiver such that it has the least possible obstructions between it and the transmit-  
ter. Line of sight is best!  
• The transmitter and the receiver should be as close as possible but not less than 1 meter.  
• For the best operation, the receiver should be placed at least 1 meter above the ground and 1  
meter away from a wall or metal surfaces. The transmitter should be also at least 1 meter from the  
receiver. Keep antenna away from noise source such as motors, automobiles, neon light, signal  
processor, computer, as well as large metal objects.  
• A receiver cannot receive signal from two or more transmitters simultaneously. The UHF-24 has 2  
receivers so can be operated with 2 transmitters only on the same frequencies.  
• Turn the transmitter off when it is not in use. Remove the batteries if it is not to be used for a long  
period.  
• Externally powered with DC adapter (15VDC/0.4A) included  
UH-4 Handheld Transmitter  
• Nady DM-10D neodymium cartridge delivers transparent vocals, maximum feedback rejection and  
minimal handling noise  
• OFF/MUTE/ON switch for ease of use  
• Unique screw-on battery compartment for quick pop-in battery replacement- uses standard 9V  
alkaline battery  
• Single LED indicator flashes once for unit on; lights steady for low battery alert  
• Input level control for optimum sound adjustment  
• Rugged ABS housing with integral antenna  
Note: Scratchy noises can sometime occurs when some electric guitars with dirty pots or connec-  
tions are used with any wireless system. Therefore, the supplied capacitor provides first order filter-  
ing of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should  
your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them:  
a. Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid-this is very  
important.  
UB-4 Bodypack Transmitter  
• Compact bodypack with screw on jack for instrument or lavalier microphone input  
• OFF/MUTE/ON switch for ease of use  
b. A 47pF capacitor soldered across the pot to ground terminal of the guitar’s volume and tone  
pots will provide extra filtering.  
• Unique sliding battery compartment for quick pop-in battery replacement- uses standard 9V alka-  
line battery  
• Single LED indicator flashes once for unit on; lights steady for low battery alert  
• Input level control for optimum sound adjustment (LT/HM)  
• Rugged ABS housing with external antenna  
LINK 4™ Plug-In Transmitter  
• Compact microphone transmitter that converts any dynamic XLR hardwired microphone to wire-  
less operation  
• OFF/MUTE/ON switch for ease of use  
• Unique sliding battery compartment for quick pop-in battery replacement- uses standard 9V alka-  
line battery

CAUTIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
UHF-24 RECEIVER  
Rack-mounting the Receiver  
Feedback  
There are two options available for rackmounting the UHF-24 Dual Channel Receiver: single or  
side-by-side with another UHF-24 receiver.  
Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that the  
acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be avoided. Please also note the pickup pattern  
characteristics of the microphone selected. Omni directional mics pick up sound equally from all  
direction, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to  
feedback. However, pick up sound source best that are directly in front of the mic. Also mics that  
arefarther from the sound source, such as lavalier, required more acoustic gain and thus are also  
more prone to feed back than close-source mics such as handheld or headworn models that are  
used close to the mouth.  
a. Single mounting: Remove the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from each side of the receiver and  
slide in the optional ERM-3 RACK EARS (2)  
b. Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from each side  
of the receivers, join the two receivers with the EJC-3 JOINING CLIPS (3) and slide in the  
ERM-33 EARS (4)  
(Note: Do not mount the receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat.  
This could degrade the performance of the UHF-24 receiver. Always ensure adequate airflow and  
heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)  
Microphone Damage  
Headset and lavalier mic users, note that the microphone element can easily be destroyed by the  
buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on  
the mic at all time to protect it.  
Antennas  
The UHF-24 receiver is equipped with DUAL TELESCOPIC RETRACTABLE ANTENNAS (5)  
These should be extended fully to obtain maximum range. The optimal antenna positions are 45  
degrees from the receiver and 90 degree from each other. For maximum range, it is always best  
to maintain a line of sight (no obstruction) between the receiver antennas and the transmitter at all  
time whenever possible.  
No Audio  
If you not getting audio through the system, carefully recheck all setup procedures. The receiver  
and transmitter must be on the same RF channel (frequency).  
Powering the Receiver  
RF Interference  
Powering the receiver by plugging the provided DC ADAPTOR (15VDC/0.4A) PLUG (15) into the  
DC INPUT JACK (14) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the adapter into an AC outlet. (Note:  
Any 15VDC/0.4A capacity AC/DC adapter can also be used.) Turn VOLUME CONTROLS (10) of  
all channels to counter-clockwise for minimum setting. Once the receiver is connected to a power  
source, push the POWER SWITCH (7) to the ON position. The POWER LED (6) will light up. The  
received signal CH. A OR B LEDs (8) and 5-SEGMENT AF LED (9) indicators on the front panel of  
the receivers will not light up at this time, until one or more of the two channels is receiving a signal  
from your system’s transmitters.  
If you encounter receiving interference (from other than an operating TV station), often it can be  
overcome by adjusting the receiver ‘s MUTE (squelch) control. Please note that wireless frequen-  
cies are shared with other radio services. According to FCC 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 be cease operation or change frequencies. The above statement is valid only for use in the  
U.S.A.  
Mute (Squelch) Adjusting  
In normal operation of the UHF-24 receiver, the mute control for each channel A or B should be set  
fully clockwise to the factory preset of 1uV RF level for maximum sensitivity. Doing so sets each  
receiver for maximum range. However, in case of high RF activity, the mute levels should be read-  
justed to compensate for the adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with a transmitter turned  
off, one or more LEDs of the corresponding receiver for that transmitter flicker or stay on, the MUTE  
(SQUELCH) CONTROL (12) of the corresponding channel should be turned counterclockwise until  
the LEDs extinguish. For each of the two channels, when the mute (Squelch) is properly adjusted,  
the corresponding TX LED displays will light only when the system’s transmitter is turned on. Turn-  
ing the mute (Squelch) counter clockwise too far will result in reducing range, but yield a quieter  
mute function during dropout or at the end of the operating range.  
Note: If you turn on the transmitter of only one channel within 10 feet of the receiver, both CH. A or  
B LEDs may come on. This is normal and due to the receiver’s high sensitivity. This does not indi-  
cate a problem and operation with both transmitters on will be unaffected. Proper operation of the  
MUTE CONTROL (12) (counterclockwise) will extinguish the LED that is affected by the transmitter  
of the other channel. This will also reduce range.  
Audio Level and Peak LED indicator  
The UHF-24 receiver is equipped with a 5-segment LED AF LEVEL (9) display for each channel.  
The red LED on the right of these displays is the audio peak indicator. Note: That the peak red LED  
will light with a strong audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the peak LED on  
loud input signals to the transmitter is normal. However, If the peak LED lights continuously, the  
volume into the transmitter should be decreased or audio distortion may result.

LINK 4™ PLUG-IN TRANSMITTER  
UHF-24 RECEIVER  
Receiver Volume Controls Adjust  
The volume controls work only for the 1⁄4” sum output. Turn Volume controls on the UHF-24  
receiver clockwise to near full gain. Adjust Volume up or down so that no audio distortion is present  
when amplifier or mixer is set at their usual levels. At full gain, the system gain is approximately  
+20dB higher than a direct line-to-amp connection.  
Connecting Audio Outputs  
The UHF-24 receiver provides both a fixed mic level balanced audio output XLR for each channel  
and an adjustable line level A+B unbalanced audio output 1⁄4” jack which sums the CH-A plus CH-B  
audio signals.  
If the fixed level XLR OUTPUTS (11) are used, the volume level of each receiver should be ad-  
justed by the mixer to which the UHF-24 receiver is connected.  
• The balanced XLR OUTPUTS (11) are preset at the factory and are not adjustable with the re-  
ceiver volume controls. For each channel you wish to use, insert an audio cord with a (female)  
XLR plug into its audio jack on the back of the receiver. Plug the other end of this cord into  
your amplifier, effects or mixing board. The volume level of each receiver should be adjusted  
by the mixing board. The fixed level balanced XLR outputs are for mic level connections.  
• The A+B UNBALANCED SUM (13) audio output is controlled by the rear panel volume control  
for each channel. To use the A+B unbalanced sum audio output, just plug an audio cable  
with a 1⁄4” mono plug (TS) into the 1⁄4” jack and plug the other end to your amplifier or mixing  
board. Turn the volume controls on the UHF-24 receiver clockwise to near full gain. Adjust  
each volume up or down so that no audio distortion is present when the ampflier or mixer is  
set at their usual levels. The adjustable level unbalanced sum output is for line level connec-  
tions.  
Level Trim Adjust  
For optimum performance, an INPUT SELECT SWITCH (38) is provided. You could select the  
switch to LO, MED or HI gain setting defending to your microphone use. Depending on the average  
distance between vocalist’s mouth and microphone, you can adjust the level for your application.  
Factory setting is MED for hardwire dynamic microphone. This is a setting to be used in most typi-  
cal close microphone applications. Set for maximum possible gain and headroom without notice-  
able distortion of the high level peaks. Experiment and set for maximum possible gain without  
audible distortion on the high level peaks.  
(Note: Selecting LOW gain setting can compromise the signal-to-noise and it is not recommended.)  
a. Microphone Connection (Using the UH-4, UB-4 and the LINK-4 transmitters)  
For microphone use, either the XLR balanced mic audio output or the 1⁄4” line level A+B unbal-  
anced output can be used. The XLR balanced output is non-adjustable microphone level, similar to  
hardwire mic levels. Plug an XLR connector into one or both of the XLR output jacks on the rear of  
the unit and plug the other end(s) into your amplifier or mixing board. (Note: Make sure the phan-  
tom power on your mixing board is turned off and the volume is turned down when making connec-  
tions.) For your convenience, the XLR output levels are preset at the factory and are not adjustable  
with the receiver volume controls. To use the A+B unbalanced output 1⁄4” jack, follow the instruc-  
tions for the Instrument Connection (below), except start with the receiver volume at 1⁄2 maximum  
and adjust the volume control for each channel until the mixed CH A or CH B volume levels are  
optimal. If the volume controls are set too high, you may overload your mixer or amplifier.  
b. Instrument Connection (Using the UB-4 instrument transmitter)  
The microphone is now ready to use. The CH. A or B LED indicator on corresponding receiver  
should now be on, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the  
OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (36) to the ON position and hardwire mute switch if it was off. Adjust  
the volume of the receiver as per in the receiver operating instruction.  
Notes:  
• The microphone ball on your hardwire microphone functions as an integral antenna. For proper  
operation, it should not be cover or touch during operation.  
• Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that acous-  
tic feedback (howling or screeching) will be avoided.  
Insert an audio cord with a 1⁄4” mono phone plug in the A+B unbalanced output jack on the rear  
panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effect, or mixing board. Adjust  
the appropriate volume control for the channel being used on the UHF-24 receiver clockwise to  
about 3⁄4 rotation, until the mixed volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is  
roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Tuning the volume up to maximum will  
provide 4dB gain over a cord. (Note: Since this is a mixed output of both channels CH-A and CH-B,  
both channels will be processed simultaneously by the amplifier and/or effects connected to, which  
may not be appropriate for your application.)

Your UHF-24 receiver is now operational and ready to use. Now that you have completed the above  
step, proceed to instructions for the actual transmitter, UH-4, UB-4 or LINK 4, that is included with  
your system.  
Tone Squelch™ and Additional Operating Notes  
The UHF-24 receiver and transmitters feature Nady’s Tone Squelch™ circuit. Nady now offers Tone  
Squelch™ for professional uses and anyone who needs advanced protection against RF interfer-  
ence during a recording, performance, or presentation. This feature is strongly recommended for  
situations where the transmitter is turned on or off during use. With Tone Squelch™ an unwanted  
signal on the same operating which may enter your inactive receiver will not be amplified by your  
connected equipment even if the receiver is left on with the transmitter(s) off. Thus Tone Squelch™  
prevents a pop or disruptive noise from your sound system.  
38  
36  
35

The receiver detects a specific tone code signal from your transmitter, which unlocks your receiver’s  
audio. In this manner only your own modulated signal can then be heard. (The receiver has an

internal Tone Squelch defeat feature. Contact your Nady dealer or Nady Systems Customer Service  
for details.)  
Transmitters Set Up  
The LINK-4 transmitter requires a single 9V battery to operate. To open the battery compartment,  
slide BATTERY DOOR (31) downward to open the cover, exposing the BATTERY HOLDER (32)  
Insert a fresh 9V battery according to the correct polarity as indicated on the transmitter body. Slide  
back the door onto the original position. Make sure the cover is secured completely. Fresh Alkaline  
batteries can last up to 10 hour of operation, but in order to ensure optimum performance, it is  
recommended that the batteries should be replaced after 6-8 hours of use.  
Note:  
• Even though your system has Tone Squelch™, it’s always best to keep the volume controls of  
unused channels, (with corresponding transmitter off) turned off in the amplifier or the mixer. The  
audio should only be “live” if the transmitter is on.  
• As when making any connection, make sure the connected amplifier or mixing board volume is at  
the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.  
• Only one transmitter can be used with one receiver channel. It is not possible to use two transmit-  
ters on the same frequency and mix the output of these transmitters into one wireless receiver  
channel. The dual receiver UHF-24 can thus be only used with two transmitters on the same  
frequencies as the two receiver channels.  
Handheld Microphone Installation  
Step 1  
Rotate the transmitter’s threaded LOCKING RING (33) counter-clockwise inward the  
transmitter body until it stops.
