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.
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
packages simultaneously, set each
package 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
packages simultaneously with different
channel groups, make sure that they are at
least 100 meters (330 feet) apart, if they
