Error Messages 31 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. Cause The 3 and # polarity orientation of the batteries is incorrect. The batteries are getting low. The battery terminals are dirty. Batteries are not inserted despite PWR SOURCE being set to BATT ONLY.3) The POWER/MUTING button is locked. The batteries are getting low. Manganese batteries are being used. 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.2) Solution Insert the batteries with the correct polarity orientation. Replace the batteries with new ones. Clean the 3 and # terminals with a cotton swab. Insert batteries, or change the PWR SOURCE setting. Release the locked status in the PWR LOCK menu. 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/MUTING button on the transmitter to release the muted state. 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 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 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. Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and tuner. Use headphones with a stereo mini jack. Symptom The unit does not turn on. The unit does not turn off. The batteries become drained quickly. The channel cannot be changed.1) There is no sound. The sound is weak. The sound is distorted. 32 Troubleshooting Symptom There is sound interruption or noise. Cause 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 RF indicator on the tuner lights up even when the transmitter is off. The transmitter channel cannot be set with infrared transmission. 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. Solution 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. 1) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B03) / hand-held microphone (UTX-M03) / plug-on transmitter (UTX-P03) only 2) Body-pack transmitter (UTX-B03) / plug-on transmitter (UTX-P03) only 3) Portable diversity tuner (URX-P03) only Troubleshooting 33 Important Notes on Use Specifications 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.
