When both tuners 1 and 2 are turned on, the tuner 1 and transmitter settings are configured and then tuner 2 NFC communication starts. In the same way as for tuner 1, place the N-Marks on tuner 2 and the transmitter to set in close proximity.

Notes

  • When SYNC MODE is set to IR, NFC communication is not possible. For details about how to set SYNC MODE, see “Configuring using communication with the transmitter (SYNC MODE)” (page 35).
  • NFC communication lasts approximately 20 seconds. Perform step 4 within 20 seconds of performing step 3. If more than 20 seconds have elapsed, a confirmation display appears prompting whether to start NFC communication. Restart the NFC communication.
  • Communications using NFC may be adversely affected, depending on the surrounding environment.
  • If “COMPLETE” is shown on the display of the tuner but the transmitter does not vibrate, the setup may not be finished. If this occurs, use the SYNC RX1 (2)->TX menu on the tuner to reestablish the link.

When SYNC MODE is set to IR

First press and hold the SET button on the transmitter and press and hold the POWER button for one second to turn the power on (transmission stopped mode), then place the infrared transmission port of the unit close to the infrared receptor of the transmitter.

Information about the channel set on the tuner is sent to the transmitter, and a prompt appears on the transmitter display asking if you want to change to that frequency.

-L ■ I □ MIC 00 2601 SYNC? NO AUTO

When both tuners 1 and 2 are turned on, the tuner 1 and transmitter settings are configured and then tuner 2 infrared communication starts. In the same way as for tuner 1, place the infrared receiver of the transmitter you want to set for tuner 2 close to the infrared transmission port of this unit.

Note

  • When SYNC MODE is set to NFC, infrared communication is not possible. For details about how to set SYNC MODE, see “Configuring using communication with the transmitter (SYNC MODE)” (page 35).
  • Infrared communication lasts approximately 10 seconds. Perform step 4 within 10 seconds of performing step 3. If more than 10 seconds have elapsed, a confirmation display appears prompting whether to start infrared communication. Restart the infrared communication.
  • Place the unit and transmitter within about 20 cm (8 in.) of each other.
  • If five seconds elapse without any user input after the prompt appears on the transmitter display, the transmitter returns to its previous state without changing the frequency.
  • Communications using the infrared link may be adversely affected, depending on the surrounding environment.

If noise is generated

Depending on the environment where the devices 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 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, take the following precautions.

  • Do not use two or more transmitters on the same channels.
  • When operating two or more UWP-D series packages simultaneously, set each package to a different channel within the same channel group.
  • When using two or more frequencies simultaneously on the URX-P41D, set different channels within the same group.
  • Keep the antennas on the tuner and transmitter separated by at least 3 meters (about 10 feet).
  • When operating two or more UWP-D series packages simultaneously with different channel groups, make sure that they are at least 100 meters (330 feet) apart if they are used within clear sight of each other (actual distance may vary depending on the circumstances).

  • Operating the UWP-D series devices near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause interference due to electromagnetic induction. Keep the devices as far from such equipment as possible.
  • The presence of lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over a wide frequency range. In this case, interference may fluctuate with the position of the tuner antenna and position of the transmitter. Position the devices so that interference is minimized.
  • To avoid degradation of the signal to noise ratio, do not use UWP-D devices 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 PA (public address) loudspeakers
    – Near equipment that might knock against the tuner
    Keep devices as far from such equipment as possible or use buffering material.

Cleaning

Clean the surface and the connectors of devices with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinners, benzene, alcohol, or any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish.

To prevent electromagnetic interference

Some channels may be unable to be used due to noise generated due to the effects of external noise and/or radio interference. In this case, it is recommended to stop transmitting (turn the power off) or change to another frequency (change channel).

To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communications devices

The use of portable telephones and other communications devices near this unit can result in malfunctions and interference with audio and video signals.
