Symptom Meanings/Remedy
The unit does not turn on*.
The batteries become drained quickly*.
The channel cannot be changed. An attempt was made to change the channel by
There is no sound. The channel setting on the transmitter is different from
The sound is weak. The attenuation level on the transmitter is too high. b
The polarity orientation of the batteries in the battery compartment is incorrect. b Insert the batteries with the correct polarity orientation.
The batteries are exhausted. b Replace the batteries with new ones.
The battery terminals in the transmitter are dirty. b Clean the + and – terminals with a cotton swab.
The batteries are exhausted. b Replace the batteries with new ones.
Manganese batteries are being used. b Use alkaline batteries. The battery life of a manganese battery is less than half that of an alkaline battery.
The UWP series is being used under cold conditions. b The batteries drain quickly under cold conditions.
pressing the SET button only. b Restart the unit while holding down the SET button. Then change the channel with the + and – buttons.
that on the tuner. b Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and tuner.
The RF indications (RF indicator) on the tuner do not appear at all (or does not turn on). b Confirm that the transmitter is turned on.
The output level of the transmitter is low. Press the + button on the transmitter in attenuation level setting mode to decrease the attenuation level.
The volume on the amplifier or mixer is low. b Adjust the volume.

Troubleshooting
Symptom Meanings/Remedy
There is distortion in the sound. The attenuation level of the transmitter is too low. b
There is sound interruption or noise.
The input level of the tuner is extremely high. Press the – button on the transmitter in attenuation level setting mode to raise the attenuation level.
The transmitter and the tuner are set to different channels. b Set the transmitter to the same channel.
The RF indications on the tuner appear (the RF indicator lights up) even when the transmitter is off. b Jamming radio waves are being received. Determine which channels are usable (i.e., channels for which the RF indications on the tuner do not appear (or for which the RF indicator on the tuner does not light up) and set the tuner and transmitter to the same usable channel. When two or more transmitters are used simultaneously, use another channel group that is unaffected by jamming radio waves.
The transmitter and the tuner are set to different channels. b Set the transmitter to the same channel.
Two or more transmitters are set to the same channel. b Set each transmitter to a different channel.
The transmitters are not set to the channels within the same channel group. b The channel plan which the UWP series components use is set so that no signal interference occurs when 2 to 12 transmitters are used simultaneously. Set each transmitter to a different channel within the same channel group.
