Features
Features
Each of the UWP-C1/C2/S1/S2/X1/
X2 wireless microphone packages
(referred to as the UWP series
hereafter) combines a transmitter
(body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1) or
hand-held microphone (UTX-H1)) and
a receiver (portable diversity tuner
(URX-P1), half-rack size diversity
tuner (URX-R1), or diversity tuner
module (URX-M1)). The UWP series
can be used with a compact camcorder
for ENG (Electronic News Gathering)
purposes, and with a powered mixer
for AV presentations or as a PA
(public address) system.
Note
The UWP series is not compatible
with conventional WRT series
transmitters, WRR series tuners, or

Precautions
Precautions
• The UWP series product must be
used within a temperature range of
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Operating the UWP series product
near electrical equipment (motors,
transformers, or dimmers) may cause
it to be affected by electromagnetic
induction. Keep the UWP series
product as far from such equipment
as possible.
• The presence of the lighting
equipment may produce electrical
interference over the entire
frequency range. Position the UWP
series product so that interference is
minimized.
• To avoid degradation of the signalto-noise ratio, do not use the UWP
series product 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 public address loudspeakers
— where adjacent equipment might
knock against the tuner
Keep the UWP series product as far
from such equipment as possible or
use buffering material.
• Clean the surface and the connectors
of the UWP series product with a
dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner,
benzene, alcohol or any other
chemicals, since these may mar the
finish.
To prevent electromagnetic
interference from portable
communication devices
The use of portable telephones and
other communication devices near
the UWP series product may result
in malfunction and interference with
audio signals. It is recommended
that portable communication
devices near the UWP series
product be turned off.
