Interference is being received.

Set the receiver to a channel for which the RF indicator does not light, and then set the transmitter to the same channel.


Troubleshooting

Important Notes on Use

The 2.4 GHz band used by the units is also used by other devices, such as microwave ovens, wireless LAN devices, and mobile terminals.Interference from such wireless devices using the 2.4 GHz band may reduce the operating range of the units and cause noise to occur.• Use the Best Channel Selection or Clear

Channel Scan function to select channels with the least interference.

• If the reception status is poor, move the microwave oven, wireless LAN device, mobile terminal, or other devices using the 2.4 GHz band at least 10 m away from the units, or change the RF mode of the units.

• If this does not resolve the problem, stop operation of the other wireless devices using the 2.4 GHz band (i.e., stop their radio signals).

• The frequencies assigned to each channel of a 2.4 GHz band wireless microphone system other than the Sony DWZ series may differ and may not be compatible. Therefore, simultaneous use with such systems may not be possible.

Precautions for installation• To prevent audio noise caused by

interference from other transmitters or by excessive RF inputs, maintain a distance of at least 30 cm between the transmitter and the receiver.

• Install the antenna of the receiver as far away from metallic objects as possible.

• When using the units with a guitar, noise may occur depending on the type of pickup used. If noise occurs, place the transmitter at least 30 cm away from the

pickup portion of the guitar. Changing the cable paths may also reduce the noise levels.

Precautions for use with microphonesIf microphones other than the ECM-GZ1UBMP (supplied with the DWZ-B50I) or other than the ECM-HZ1UBMP/LZ1UBMP (supplied with the DWZ-M70HL) are connected, problems such as lack of sound and phase inversion may occur.

Usage and Storage• Operating the DWZ series components

near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to be affected by electromagnetic induction. Keep the DWZ series components as far from such equipment as possible.

• The presence of the lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over the entire frequency range. Position the DWZ series components so that interference is minimized.
