by the Federal Communications
Commission as described in Part 74 subpart
H of the FCC regulations and users
authorized thereby are required to obtain an
appropriate license.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with
the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, no change to the antenna or
the device is permitted.
Any change to the antenna or the device
could result in the device exceeding the RF
exposure requirements and void user’s
authority to operate this device.
This device complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled
equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65. This device has
very low levels of RF energy that it is
deemed to comply without testing of
specific absorption ratio (SAR).
Notice for customers in Canada:
Use of Sony wireless devices is regulated
by the Industry Canada as described in their
Radio Standard Specification RSS-123.
A licence is normally required. The local
district office of Industry Canada should
therefore be contacted. When the operation
of the device is within the broadcast band,
the licence is issued on no-interference,
noprotection basis with respect to broadcast
signals.
Operation of this device is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
Remarque à l’intention des
utilisateurs au Canada:
L’usage des appareils sans fil Sony est
réglementé par l’Industrie Canada comme
décrit dans leur Cahier des Normes

l’appareil respecte les limites de la bande de
radiodiffusion, la licence est accordée sur la
base d’une non-interférence, non-
protection pour les signaux de
radiodiffusion.
L’utilisation de cet appareil est soumise aux
deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil
ne peut causer d’interférences, et (2) cet
appareil doit accepter toutes les
interférences, y compris les interférences
capables de provoquer un fonctionnement
non souhaité de l’appareil.

Für Kunden in Deutshland
Entsorgungshinweis: Bitte werfen Sie nur
entladene Batterien in die Sammelboxen
beim Handel oder den Kommunen.
Entladen sind Batterien in der Regel dann,
wenn das Gerät abschaltet und signalisiert
“Batterie leer” oder nach längerer
Gebrauchsdauer der Batterien “nicht mehr
einwandfrei funktioniert”. Um
sicherzugehen, kleben Sie die Batteriepole
z.B. mit einem Klebestreifen ab oder geben
Sie die Batterien einzeln in einen
Plastikbeutel.

12 Features / Precautions
Features
The UWP-X5 Wireless Microphone
Package consists of a transmitter (body-
pack transmitter (UTX-B1)), a receiver
(diversity tuner module (URX-M1)), and
the accessories. The UWP-X5 can be used
with the tuner base unit or the powered
mixer for AV presentations.
The UWP-X5 is not compatible with
conventional WRT series transmitters,
WRR series tuners, or WRU series tuner
units.
The featured components of the package are
described below.
Body-pack transmitter (UTX-
B1)
This is a small and lightweight transmitter
with a crystal-controlled PLL (phase lock
loop) synthesized system and a BMP-type
microphone input connector. The RF power
output can be set at 30 mW or at 5 mW.
Diversity tuner module (URX-
M1)
This tuner module can be incorporated into
the MB-X6 Tuner Base Unit or SRP-X500P
Powered Mixer.
Head-set type microphone
(supplied)
This electret condenser microphone is
equipped with the omni-directional capsule
to obtain sound with clarity and quality, ear
clip to easily wear on either ear,and flexible
boom allowing you to finely adjust the
position and angle of the microphone.
Precautions
• The UWP-X5 units must be used within
a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F
to 104°F).
• Operating the UWP-X5 units near
electrical equipment (motors,
transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to
be affected by electromagnetic induction.
Keep the UWP-X5 units 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-X5 units so that interference is
minimized.
• To avoid degradation of the signal to-
noise ratio, do not use the UWP-X5 units
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-X5 units as far from such
equipment as possible or use buffering
material.
• Clean the surface and the connectors of
the UWP-X5 units with a dry, soft cloth.
Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol or
any other chemicals, since these may mar
the finish.

Battery indication
When you turn the power on, the battery
condition is shown by the BATT indication
in the display section.
When the indication in column 4 starts to
flash, replace the batteries with new ones.
Be sure to check the expiration date printed
on the new batteries before using them.
The indicated battery condition may not be
correct if the batteries were not new when
installed. If you plan to use the component
for a long period, it is recommended that
you replace the batteries with brand new
ones.
Notes on battery
Batteries may leak or explode if mistreated.
Be sure to follow these instructions.
• Be sure to install the batteries with the
correct polarity.
• Always replace the two batteries
together.
• Do not use different types of batteries or
old and new one together.
• The batteries are not rechargeable.
• When not using the component for a long
period of time, remove the batteries to
avoid leakage. If the batteries do leak,
clean all leakage from the battery
compartment and the component.
Leakage left in the compartment and the
component may cause poor battery
contact. If there seems to be poor battery
contact, consult your Sony dealer.
