Selectable RF output power: 1 mW, 10 mW, and 50 mW The 1 and 10 mW output is suitable for multi-channel operations, while the 50 mW output is intended for long-distance. Power sleep mode The DWT-B01(F) is equipped with a power sleep/wake up mode that can be wirelessly controlled from the optional DWR-S01D receiver. Digital low-cut filter Equipped with a digital low-cut filter, the DWT-B01(F) can reduce the effects of undesired ambient noise. Important notes on operation Notes on using the transmitter • The digital wireless microphone system product must be used within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). • Operating the transmitter near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to be affected by electromagnetic induction. Keep the transmitter as far from such equipment as possible. • The presence of the lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over the entire frequency range. Position the transmitter so that interference is minimized. • To avoid degradation of the signal-tonoise ratio, do not use the transmitter 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 transmitter as far from such equipment as possible or use buffering material. On cleaning • If the transmitter is used in a very humid or dusty place or in a place subject to an active gas, clean its surface as well as the connectors with a dry, soft cloth soon after use. Lengthy use of the transmitter in such places or not cleaning it after its use in such places may shorten its life. • Clean the surface and the connectors of the transmitter with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish. Notes on simultaneous multichannel operation • Keep the transmitter at least 30 centimeters (11 7/8 inches) away from another transmitter. • Keep the transmitter at least 4 meters (13 feet) away from the antenna of a receiver when only digital wireless microphones are being used, or 6 meters (20 feet) when a mixture of digital and analog microphones is being used. • This system should be kept at least 100 meters (328 feet) away from any analog wireless systems using the same frequency when both are being used in a wide area with no walls or obstructions. • If you experience noise, increase the distance between the transmitter and receiver or decrease the transmission power on the transmitter. Note on microphone and transmitter combinations The transmission signal may cause noise on some microphones. If you experience noise, you may be able to reduce it by changing the position of the microphone cable, moving the microphone connection away from the antenna, or lowering the transmission power.

Setting the transmission channel This transmitter allows the free selection of any transmission channel. The transmitter provides groups of interference-free channels. When using multiple microphones and transmitters at the same time (simultaneous multi-channel operations) within the same area, selecting the same group and using a channel within that group can prevent signal interference. To set the transmission channel on the transmitter, first you select the group and channel using the RF indicator and scanning functions on the receiver. Next you set the group and channel parameters to match the setting on the receiver. Selecting the group/ channel Notes • Before doing this procedure, use the BAND function to set the transmitter to the bandwidth of the receiver you are using. • The setting for this function cannot be changed during actual signal transmission. Set the transmitter group (GP) and channel (CH) as follows: For details on groups and channels, refer to “Sony Digital Wireless Microphone System Frequency Lists” on the supplied CD-ROM. For details on menu operation, see “Basic menu operations” . 1 Turn off the power, and then while holding down the SET button, turn the power on. The signal transmission stops.

Press the SET button to enter the group. The channel indication starts flashing. Press the + or – button repeatedly to select a channel. Press the SET button to enter the channel. To set the group/channel using the pairing mode of the wireless remote control function When the transmitter is paired with the receiver, the transmission channel of the transmitter is set to the receiving channel on the receiver automatically. For details, see“Pairing with a receiver” . Using the wireless remote control function This transmitter is equipped with a wireless remote control function that can be used to set the parameters (low-cut filter, attenuation operation, power save mode, etc.) of the transmitter through the receiver or other devices. 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 receiver Pairing 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. Set the receiver to be used for controlling the transmitter to pairing mode. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver. Press the + or – button repeatedly until the RF REMOTE indication is displayed. Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes. Press the + or – button repeatedly to select PAIRING. Press 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 pairing In the RF REMOTE indication, select ON. Notes • 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 setting For details on menu operation, see “Setting menus”. To cancel the wireless remote control function In the RF REMOTE indication, select OFF. Notes on the wireless remote control function The 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 repairing with the transmitter (change to a channel with less interference). Using the encrypted transmission function To 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. Note 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. Preparing the transmitter (this unit) 1 Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes in ENCRYPTION indication on the transmitter. 2 Press the + or – button repeatedly to select SECURE KEY, and then press the SET button. Preparing the receiver Select SECURE KEY on the receiver that receives the encryption key. For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver. Exchanging the encryption key On 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.
