Similarly, place the N-Marks in close proximity when using other types of transmitters. Operation 19 Information about the channel set on the tuner is sent to the transmitter, and then the transmit channel is set. COMPLETE is shown on the display of the transmitter and tuner, and the transmitter vibrates when setup is finished. If the transmitter is turned off when NFC communication is initiated, the transmitter automatically turns on and starts transmitting. Notes

NFC communication lasts approximately 20 seconds. Perform step 4 within 20 seconds of performing step 3. If 20 seconds have elapsed, you can reestablish NFC communication using the SYNC RX->TX menu on the tuner.

Communications using NFC may be adversely affected, depending on the surrounding environment. If this occurs, use the SYNC RX->TX menu on the tuner to reestablish the link.

If COMPLETE is shown on the display of the tuner but the transmitter does not vibrate, the setup may not be finished. If this occurs, use the SYNC RX->TX menu on the tuner to reestablish the link. If noise is generated Depending on the environment where the devices are installed, external noise or radio waves may disrupt transmission on certain channels. When selecting a channel under these circumstances, turn off the transmitter. Then, on the tuner, select a channel for which the RF indicator does not light up (i.e., a channel free from noise or radio wave interference). Set the same channel on the transmitter. Note To prevent interference or noise, take the following precautions.

Do not use two or more transmitters on the same channels.

When operating two or more UWP-D series packages simultaneously, set each package to a different channel within the same channel group.

Keep the antennas on the tuner and transmitter separated by at least 3 meters (about 10 feet).

When operating two or more UWP-D series packages simultaneously with different channel groups, make sure that they are at least 100 meters (330 feet) apart if they are used within clear sight of each other (actual distance may vary depending on the circumstances).

Message EEP ERROR An error has occurred in the backup memory data. Meaning PLL ERROR An error occurred in the PLL synthesizer circuit. NO TONE Audio signal output has been muted, because a tone signal different from the compander mode configured on the tuner was received. Solution Contact your point of purchase or Sony service representative. Restart the unit. If the message persists, contact your point of purchase or Sony service representative. Configure the appropriate compander mode based on the transmitters you are using Setting the compander mode (COMPANDER) (page 25). When operating in conjunction with UWP-D series transmitters (UTX-B40, UTX-M40, etc.), set the tuner and the transmitters to the same compander mode. 32 Error Messages Troubleshooting If you have any problem, use the following checklist before asking for repairs. If the problem persists, contact your point of purchase or Sony service representative. Symptom The unit does not turn on. Cause The 3 and # polarity orientation of the batteries is incorrect. The batteries are getting low. The battery terminals are dirty. The unit does not turn off. The batteries become drained quickly. Batteries are not inserted despite POWER SOURCE being set to BATT ONLY.3) The POWER/MUTE button is locked.5) The unit is set so that power cannot be turned on/

off using the POWER/MUTE button.6) The batteries are getting low. Manganese batteries are being used. The channel cannot be changed.1) There is no sound. The device is being used under cold conditions. The unit is not in transmission stopped mode. The channel setting on the transmitter is different from that on the tuner. The transmitter is not transmitting signals, or the transmission output is weak. The transmitter is set to line level input.2) The compander mode setting on the transmitter is different from that on the tuner. The transmitter is muted.1) Solution Insert the batteries with the correct polarity orientation. Replace the batteries with new ones. Clean the 3 and # terminals, and the battery compartment terminals4) with a cotton swab. Insert batteries, or change the POWER SOURCE setting. Release the locked status in the POWER LOCK menu. Set the POWER/MUTE menu to POWER/MUTE, or turn the unit off using the POWER button. Replace the batteries with new ones. Use alkaline batteries. The battery life of a manganese battery is less than half that of an alkaline battery. The batteries drain quickly under cold conditions. Turn off the unit, and then turn it on again while holding down the SET button to switch to transmission stopped mode. Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and tuner. Confirm that the transmitter is turned on. Alternatively, reduce the distance between the transmitter and tuner. Switch to microphone input. Use the same compander mode setting on both the transmitter and tuner. Press the POWER/MUTE button on the transmitter to release the muted state. The MUTE SETTING menu (POWER/MUTE menu on the UTX-M40) is set to PTT HOLD. Change the setting. The attenuation level on the transmitter is too high. The input level of the transmitter is low. Set the attenuation of the transmitter to an appropriate level. Adjust the volume to an appropriate level. Switch to microphone input. The sound is weak. The sound is distorted. The volume on the amplifier or mixer is low. The transmitter is set to line level input.2) The compander mode setting on the transmitter is different from that on the tuner. The attenuation level on the transmitter is too low or is set to 0. The GAIN MODE menu of the transmitter is set to 15dB BOOST. The channel setting on the transmitter is different from that on the tuner. Headphones with a monaural mini jack are being used.3) Use the same compander mode setting on both the transmitter and tuner. The input level is extremely high. Set the attenuation on the transmitter so that the audio is not distorted. The input level is extremely high. Change the GAIN MODE setting so that the sound is not distorted. Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and tuner. Use headphones with a stereo mini jack. Troubleshooting 33 Symptom The attenuator cannot be set. There is sound interruption or noise. Cause The GAIN MODE menu is set to AUTO GAIN, or the INPUT LEVEL menu is set to LINE. The channel setting on the transmitter is different from that on the tuner. Two or more transmitters are set to the same channel. The transmitters are not set to the channels within the same channel group. Adjacent channels are being used. Jamming radio waves are being received. The infrared receptor on the transmitter is too far from the infrared transmission port on the tuner. Interference from infrared communications between other devices or from direct sunlight is present. The RF indicator on the tuner lights up even when the transmitter is off. The transmitter channel cannot be set with infrared transmission.1) The transmitter channel cannot be set via NFC communication. The N-Marks of both units are not facing each other, or they are too far apart. Or there may be some metallic object between the N-Marks. The grip is open.6) Solution Change the GAIN MODE menu and INPUT LEVEL menu settings. Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and tuner. Two or more transmitters cannot be used on the same channel. Refer to the frequency list stored on the supplied CD-ROM, and reconfigure the channel on each transmitter. The channel plan is set so that no signal interference occurs when two or more transmitters are used simultaneously. Set each transmitter to a different channel within the same channel group. Use the channels separated by at least two channels (250 kHz). Set the channel on the tuner to a channel for which the RF indicator does not light, or use the Clear Channel Scan function to switch to a channel without interference. Then, set the transmitter to the same channel as the tuner. If using two or more transmitters, change to a channel group that is not affected. Reduce the distance between the infrared receptor on the transmitter and the infrared transmission port on the tuner to within about 20 cm (8 in.). The transmitting distance is reduced when interference from strong sunlight, for example, is present. Place the transmitter and tuner as close to each other as possible. Place the N-Marks approximately 5 mm from each other. Make sure there are no metallic or other objects near them. 1) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B40) / hand-held microphone (UTX-M40) / plug-on transmitter (UTX-P40) only 2) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B40) / plug-on transmitter (UTX-P40) only 3) Portable diversity tuner (URX-P40) only 4) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B40) / portable diversity tuner (URX-P40) only 5) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B40) / plug-on transmitter (UTX-P40) / portable diversity tuner (URX-P40) only 6) Hand-held microphone (UTX-M40) only 34 Troubleshooting Important Notes on Use Specifications The NFC communication function is used only for communication between a transmitter and a tuner. It cannot be used for communication with other devices. The N-Mark is a trademark or registered trademark of NFC Forum, Inc. in the United States and in other countries. Usage and storage

Operating the UWP-D series devices near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause interference due to electromagnetic induction. Keep the devices as far from such equipment as possible.

The presence of lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over a wide frequency range. In this case, interference may fluctuate with the position of the tuner antenna and position of the transmitter. Position the devices so that interference is minimized.

To avoid degradation of the signal to noise ratio, do not use UWP-D devices in noisy places or in locations subject to vibration, such as the following:

Near electrical equipment, such as motors, transformers, or dimmers Near air conditioning equipment or places subject to direct air flow from an air conditioner Near PA (public address) loudspeakers Near equipment that might knock against the tuner Keep devices as far from such equipment as possible or use buffering material. Cleaning Clean the surface and the connectors of devices with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinners, benzene, alcohol, or any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish. To prevent electromagnetic interference Some channels may be unable to be used due to noise generated due to the effects of external noise and/or radio interference. In this case, it is recommended to stop transmitting (turn the power off) or change to another frequency (change channel). To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communication devices The use of portable telephones and other communication devices near the devices may result in malfunction and interference with audio signals. It is recommended that portable communication equipment near the devices be turned off. Design and specifications are subject to change without notice. Notes

Always verify that the unit is operating properly before use.
