If noise is heard
Depending on the environment where
the UWP series components 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 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
series simultaneously, set each series
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
series 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.)
5 Turn on the transmitter.
