Notes

• When you are setting the reception channel, the tuner can be used to receive signals.

• Do not remove the batteries while setting the reception channel. If they are inadvertently removed, re-insert them immediately and redo the procedure “Setting the reception channel (URX-M1 only)” from step 1.

• Make sure that the selected channel is the same on the transmitter and tuner being used in the same system.

• If you turn off the tuner and then immediately turn it on right after setting the reception channel, the unit may not operate normally. Wait a few seconds before turning it on again.

Detecting and selecting the available channels automatically (URX-M1 only)

operation, select the channel group on the tuner module installed into the slot 1 of the MB-X6, then all the tuner modules installed into the MB-X6 can be set to different channels within the selected channel group.

1 Turn off all the microphones and

transmitters.

2 Select the channel group on the tuner

module installed into the slot 1 of the MB-X6.

3 After confirming that the channel

group indication has stopped flashing (about 10 seconds after you have selected the channel group), keep pressing the + button on the tuner module installed into the slot 1 of the MB-X6.

All the tuner modules installed into the MB-X6 are set to the available channels within the selected channel group. After the automatic detection and selection of available channels finish, you can change the group and channel on each tuner module manually.

Notes

• Do the automatic detection and selection of available channels with the channel group other than channel group 00.

• When there are unavailable channels due to extraneous radio wave and the channel could not be selected on some tuner modules, “NO CH” appears on the display of those tuner modules. If this happens, select the channel group with no interference from extraneous radio wave, and repeat the procedure above.

transmitter, and then turn off the unit.

For details on setting the transmission channel, see “Sett ing the transmission channel (UTX-B1 only)” on page 22.

3 Turn on the tuner.

The parameters that were in the display section when the tuner was last turned off appear again.

Note

Before turning on the tuner, turn down the volume of the equipment connected to the tuner. Otherwise, noise will be produced when the tuner is turned on.

4 Set the reception channel on the tuner.

For details on setting the reception channel, see “Setting the reception channel (URX-M1 only)” on page 23.

5 Turn on the transmitter.

If noise is heard

Depending on the environment where the UWP-X5 components are installed, external noise or radio waves may disrupt transmission on certain channels.

Operation

When selecting a channel under these circumstances, turn off the transmitter. Then, on the tuner, select a channel for which the RF indications do not appear in the display section or 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, please take the following precautions.

• Do not use two or more transmitters with the same wireless channels.

• When operating two or more UWP-X5’s simultaneously, set each package to a different channel within the same channel group.

• Keep the reception antenna and the transmitter separated more than 3 meters (9 feet 11 inches).

• When operating two or more UWP-X5’s simultaneously with the same channel group, make sure that they are at least 100 meters (330 feet) apart, but within clear sight of each other. (The actual distance may differ depending on the circumstances.)
