This function makes it easier to operate and manage the microphone system while in the field.This wireless control is 2.4 GHz IEEE802.15.4 compliant and has no effect on the RF band of digital wireless audio.This function is activated when pairing is established between the transmitter and the receiver using the RF REMOTE function. Pairing must be done first before the wireless remote control function can be used.Pairing with a receiverPairing links the transmitter with the receiver which the wireless remote control function is to be used.When the transmitter has been paired with a receiver through the receiver operation, turning on the transmitter while holding down the – button establishes the pairing immediately.To carry out pairing through menu operations on the transmitter, do the following.1Set the receiver to be used for controlling the transmitter to pairing mode.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.2Press the + or – button repeatedly until the RF REMOTE indication is displayed.3Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes.4Press the + or – button repeatedly to select PAIRING.5Press the SET button to enter.The transmitter sends a pairing request to the receiver which is on pairing mode.Before established pairing, if you press any operation key on the transmitter, pairing mode will be cancelled.When pairing has been established, the wireless remote control condition level (indicated by ) goes up, RF REMOTE turns on, and the remote control function becomes operative.To use the wireless remote control function with a previous pairingIn the RF REMOTE indication, select ON.• When you set RF REMOTE to ON, the transmitter will communicate with the receiver to which it was previously paired. To use the wireless remote control function with another receiver, you must perform the pairing procedure for that receiver.• Multiple transmitters cannot be paired with the same receiver. The following transmitter settings can be done from the wireless remote control:• Group/channel/BAND setting• RF transmission power setting• Attenuator for the audio input setting• Low-cut filter setting• Power save settingFor details on menu operation, see “Setting menus”.To cancel the wireless remote control functionIn the RF REMOTE indication, select OFF.Notes on the wireless remote control functionThe wireless remote control function on the transmitter uses the 2.4-GHz band and may thus be subject to interference from other devices.• When pairing fails (“Pairing fail” is displayed), successful communication between the transmitter and the receiver has not occurred within a given amount of time. Pairing may be harder to do when another receiver is engaged in pairing nearby. • When it becomes hard to use the remote control, the remote control may be improved by switching the wireless remote control function off, then on again in the RF REMOTE display, then re-pairing with the transmitter (change to a channel with less interference).Notes
Using the encrypted transmission functionTo prevent hacking of the signal, the transmitter scrambles the signal during transmission. To use this function, select one of the following encrypted transmission modes:Secure key mode: An encryption key that is automatically generated by the transmitter is used by both the transmitter and receiver in this one-to-one encrypted transmission method.Password mode: You choose a password of up to eight characters that can be set for multiple transmitters and receivers. This enables encrypted transmission within a group. Make sure the same mode is set on the transmitter and receiver.Using secure key mode (SECURE KEY)Use this mode for one-to-one encrypted transmission between one transmitter and one receiver.An encryption key that cannot be read from the outside is automatically generated by the transmitter. This key is transmitted to the receiver through a USB connection or the RF REMOTE function, enabling encrypted transmission to take place.The encryption key used by the transmitter and receiver is newly generated for each key transmission, resulting in highly secure communication.The encryption key used between the transmitter and the receiver is saved when the power is turned off, so the encrypted transmission can be resumed the next time the power is turned on.1Preparing the transmitter (this unit)1Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes in ENCRYPTION indication on the transmitter.2Press the + or – button repeatedly to select SECURE KEY, and then press the SET button.2Preparing the receiverSelect SECURE KEY on the receiver that receives the encryption key.For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.3Exchanging the encryption keyOn the receiver, select USB or REMOTE (wireless remote) as the method for encryption key exchange.When the RF REMOTE function is off, REMOTE cannot be selected.When you select USB: Connect the transmitter to the receiver with the supplied USB cable and USB adapter cable.Note
For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.When you select REMOTE: The transmitter searches for a receiver that it has been paired with. After the transmitter detects the receiver, the transmitter exchanges the encryption key with receiver and encrypted transmission begins.Using password mode (PASSWORD)Set this mode when multiple transmitters are paired with multiple receivers for encrypted transmission.If both transmitters and receivers are set with the same user-designated password, the audio signal can be decoded. This mode is useful when multiple transmitters and receivers are used as a single group, or when the audio signal from one transmitter is received by multiple receivers at the same time.1Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes in the ENCRYPTION indication on the transmitter.2Press the + or – button repeatedly to select PASSWORD, and then press the SET button.3Input a password of up to eight characters on the transmitter.To enter a password, use the procedure described in “Naming of transmitter (NAME)”.4Set the encrypted transmission function setting on the receiver to PASSWORD.5Set the same password that was set on the transmitter.For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.It is recommended that you change the password periodically.USB cable (supplied)USB adapter cable (supplied)Note

TroubleshootingIf you encounter a problem using this transmitter, use the following checklist to find a solution. For any problems with the receiver or adapter, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the respective device. If the problem persists, consult your Sony dealer.Symptom Meanings RemedyThe transmitter does not turn on.The batteries are inserted backwards in the battery compartment.Reinsert the batteries with the correct orientation.The batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries with new ones.The batteries drain quickly.Manganese batteries are being used.Use alkaline batteries.The transmitter is being used under cold conditions.The batteries drain quickly under cold conditions.Interruptions in the reception occurs.The transmitter is too far from the receiver.Decrease the distance to the receiver and check the reception. The transmission power setting is set to “L: 1mW”.Increase the transmission power.There is no sound.The channel setting on the transmitter is different from that on the receiver.Use the same channel setting on both the transmitter and receiver.The setting of the encrypted transmission function on the receiver is different from that on the transmitter.Confirm that the setting of the encrypted transmission function is the same on both the transmitter and the receiver.The sound is weak. The audio input level of the transmitter is set to LINE or the attenuation level is too high. If a microphone is connected to the transmitter, set the audio input to MIC. While monitoring the audio input level meter, set the attenuator to an appropriate level.There is distortion in the sound. The attenuator is set too low for the audio input level of the transmitter. While monitoring the audio input level meter, set the attenuator to a level that does not produce distortion.The bass is weak.The frequency of the low-cut filter is set too high.While monitoring the sound, decrease the low-cut filter frequency to a level that produces the proper sound quality.
There is too much bass.The microphone connected to the transmitter produces excessive bass because the frequency response of the transmitter extends into the low 20-Hz range.Use the low-cut filter to cut the bass.The power does not turn off even though the power switch is turned to OFF.The power switch is locked. Turn off the POWER SW LOCK function.Wireless remote control is not possible.Pairing has not been established between the transmitter and receiver.Carry out pairing.The receiver is too far from the transmitter for communication to occur.Check the wireless remote control condition level. If it is low, decrease the distance between the transmitter and the receiver.The transmitter that was paired with the receiver has been paired with another receiver.On the receiver, carry out pairing again with the transmitter that you want to control.The USB keyboard does not work.You are using a USB keyboard that is not compatible with the transmitter.Check the conditions for using a USB keyboard with the transmitter.The display is too dark.The display brightness is set to low.Adjust the brightness of the display.Symptom Meanings Remedy
