To select a channel under this circumstance, turn off
the wireless microphone and transmitter. Then select a
channel at which the RF indicator is off. (A channel
free from noise or radio wave interference is selected.)
Set the same channel on the microphone or transmitter.
Note
To eliminate interference or noise, please note the
following.
• Do not use two or more wireless microphones or
transmitters whose wireless channels are the same.
• Separate the reception antennas and the transmitter by
more than 3 meters.
• The number of wireless microphone channels
actually usable in a multi-channel system may be
smaller than the normal capacity of that system if
there is interference from TV broadcasting or other
RF signals.
• When operating two or more UHF wireless
microphone systems using the same wireless channel
in the same group, ensure that the systems are at least
100 m
1)
apart as far as they are installed within sight
of each other.
1) The distance depends on the operating environment and
conditions.
This tuner has the following three muting functions,
which work in combination.
(1) Muting by RF input level
As sufficient S/N for the audio output may not be
obtained if no RF signal is received or the RF input
level is low, the audio output can be muted when the
RF input level falls below the muting level.
(2) Tone squelch
The audio output is obtained only when the tuner
receives an RF signal which includes a specified tone
signal. The audio output is muted to eliminate noise
which may be heard when the transmitter is turned on/
off or the tuner receives an interference RF signal.
(3) Noise squelch
The audio output is muted to eliminate noise which
may be heard when there is such excessive
interference RF signal that the tone squelch does not
work.
To turn off the muting functions
While holding down the GP and CH buttons, turn the
POWER switch to ON. All indications momentarily
appear, then go off.
“OFF” is then displayed. This
procedure cancels all three muting functions at the
same time.
To turn on the muting functions
Turn the POWER switch to OFF, then to ON again.
The three muting functions are activated at the same
time.

• The unit must be used within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F). Avoid using the unit for extended periods at
extremely high temperatures or placing it in direct sunlight,
especially outdoors because this may damage the finish of the case.
Never install the unit on or near a heat source, such as lighting
equipment or power amplifiers.
• To avoid using in very humid or dusty places, because such use may
shorten the life of the unit.
• To avoid degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio, do not use the unit
in noisy places or in locations subject to noise or 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 unit
• Switching lights on or off may produce electrical interference over
the entire frequency range. Position the unit and the wireless
microphones so that interference is minimized.
• The unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and no adjustment before
use is necessary. Do not touch the inside of the unit or try to repair it
by yourself.

For removing a WRU-806A, see “Installing a WRU-806A Tuner Unit” on page 1-5.
2-5-2. WRU-806A Checking
The following procedures describe how to prove WRU-806A (repair unit) whether it needs to be repaired or not.
Equipment Required : MB-806A (quality unit)
WRU-806A (quality unit)
(1) Install the repair WRU-806A to be examined in a quality MB-806A.
(2) Check the fault with a quality MB-806A.
. If there is a fault, WRU-806A (repair unit) is defective.
Check the WRU-806A then fix a faulty section, and perform “3. Electrical Alignment”.
. If there is no fault found on the MB-806A, repairing WRU-806A is no longer defective. Thus the repairing MB-
806A, other than WRU-806A, is defective.
2-6. Unleaded Solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with a lead free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
m
. Be sure to use the unleaded solder for the printed circuit board printed with the lead free mark.
. The unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is recommended to
use the soldering iron having a temperature regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. The
printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful.

Note on Adjustment
The RF level of the input signal (the output level of the
signal generator) for adjustment is expressed as an open
ended voltage in unit dBu (0 dBu = 1 uV).
The adjustment is to be performed by calibrating the output
level of the signal generator
as shown below.
Calibration method
(1) Connect the RF millivoltmeter to the signal generator
as shown in the figure below.
(2) Adjust the level of the output signal from the signal
generator (SSG) so that the RF millivoltmeter reads
50 mV. The level of the output signal from the signal
generator (SSG) when RF millivoltmeter reads 50 mV
shall be specified as 100 dBu (at no load).
