US. The specific concerns and needs brought up in these conversations led directly to the development of the operational features offered on the UM195. This is certainly not the first belt- pack transmitter ever designed, but it is definitely the most thoroughly engineered unit available.
GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The UM195 transmitters are comprised of a number of functional sub-systems as shown in the block diagram below. The 195 system uses 75kHz wide deviation for an extremely high signal to noise ratio. The transmitter circuits are all regulated to allow full output power from the beginning (9 Volts) to the end (7 Volts) of battery life.

At UHF frequencies, where wavelengths and antennas are shorter than VHF, a resonant dangling wire is preferred. The antenna on the UM195 consists of a flexible 1/4 wavelength wire, detachable via a twist lock connector. The impedance of this connector is 50 Ohms at UHF frequencies.
Figure 2 - UM195 Controls and Functions INPUT JACK The input on the UM195 accommodates virtually every lavalier, hand-held or shotgun microphone available. Use a Switchcraft TA5F connector on the cord. See the separate sheet titled "UM195 Input Jack Configuration"...

The belt clip may be removed for special applications by removing one screw. USE ONLY THE SCREW THAT IS SUPPLIED The circuitry is tightly packed into this unit. A longer screw will permanently damage the transmitter! 50 Ohm Antenna Port Figure 3 - UM195, UHF Antenna Location...

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install a fresh battery according to the instructions on the previous page. Insert the microphone plug into the input jack, aligning the pins; be sure that the connector locks in. Attach the antenna to the jack on the bottom of the transmitter. Turn the power switch to the "MUTE"...
CONFIGURATION." VHF transmitters use the shield of the microphone cord as the antenna. The UHF UM195 uses a 1/4 wave flexible wire to radiate the RF signal. There is really not much difference between these two approaches, with respect to the effect of the RF on the microphone capsule.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before going through the following chart, be sure that you have a good battery in the transmitter. It is important that you follow these steps in the sequence listed. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE TRANSMITTER BATTERY LED OFF 1) Battery is inserted backwards. 2) Battery is dead.
