Using the Encrypted
Transmission Function
The unit is capable of transmitting encrypted signals to
prevent unwanted surveillance.
To use the function, select one of the following encryption
modes.
Encryption key modes (SECURE KEY / AES256):
An encryption key is automatically generated by the
transmitter and used by both the transmitter and receiver in
these one-to-one encrypted transmission modes.
The SECURE KEY mode is compatible with first and
second generation DWX-series devices.
The AES256 mode uses AES 256-bit encryption for a
higher level of security in transmissions.
Password mode (PASSWORD): A user-created
password of up to 8 characters can be set for multiple
transmitters (this unit) and receivers in this mode. This
allows encrypted transmission within a group.
Make sure that encryption mode settings are identical on
both the transmitter (this unit) and the receiver.
Using the Encryption Key Modes
(SECURE KEY / AES256)
Use these modes for one-to-one encrypted transmission
between one transmitter (this unit) and one receiver.
To enable encrypted transmission in these modes, an
encryption key that cannot be read from the outside is
automatically generated by the unit, and the key is
transmitted to the receiver via the wireless remote control
function.
A new encryption key for the transmitter (this unit) and
receiver is automatically generated for each key
transmission, resulting in highly secure communication.
The encryption key for the transmitter (this unit) and
receiver is retained when the unit is turned off, allowing
you to resume the same encrypted transmission the next
time you turn the unit on.
1
Prepare the transmitter (this unit).
1Hold down the SET button in the unit’s
ENCRYPTION screen until the setting value
blinks.
2Use the + and – buttons to select SECURE KEY or
AES256, and press the SET button.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem when using the unit, check the following. If the problem persists, contact your Sony
representative.
Symptom Cause Solution
Interruptions occur in the
receiver audio.
The unit is too far from the receiver. Reduce the distance from the receiver, and
check the reception.
The transmission power setting is set to “L: 2
mW.”
Increase the transmission power (page 14).
There is no audio. The channel setting on the unit is different from
that on the receiver.
Match the channel settings on the unit and
receiver.
The encrypted transmission function settings on
the receiver and transmitter do not match.
Match the encryption transmission function
settings on the transmitter and receiver (page 9).
The audio codec mode settings on the receiver
and transmitter do not match.
Match the audio codec mode settings on the
receiver and transmitter (page 13).
The audio is weak. The audio input level on the unit is set to LINE,
or the attenuator setting is too high.
If a microphone is connected, set the audio input
level to MIC (page 13). In addition, set the
attenuator to an appropriate level while
monitoring the unit’s audio input level meter.
The audio is distorted. The attenuator is set too low for the audio input
level of the unit.
Set the attenuator to a level that does not
produce distortion while monitoring the unit’s
audio input level meter.
There is no bass. The frequency of the low-cut filter is set too high. Decrease the low-cut filter frequency to a level
that produces the proper sound quality while
monitoring the audio (page 12).
There is too much bass. The bass of the connected microphone, for
example, seem excessive, because the
frequency response of the unit extends into the
low 20-Hz range.
Use the low-cut filter function to cut the bass
(page 12).
The unit does not turn off,
even when the POWER
button is held down.
Operation of the POWER button is locked. Set the LOCK function to UNLOCK (page 12).
Settings cannot be
changed.
Changes to the settings are locked. Set the LOCK function to UNLOCK (page 12).
Wireless remote control is
not possible.
Pairing has not been performed. Perform pairing (page 8).
The unit is too far from the receiver for
communication to occur.
Check the condition indicator, and reduce the
distance from the receiver if the level is low
(page 4).
The transmitter that was paired with the receiver
has been paired with another receiver.
On the receiver side, perform pairing with the
transmitter you want to control again (page 8).
The display is too dark. The display brightness is set to low. Adjust the brightness of the display in the
settings menu (page 15).
The LEDs are too dark. The LED brightness setting is set to DIMMER. Set the LED DIMMER setting to OFF (page 15).
The transmission power
cannot be set.
The maximum transmission power setting may
be limiting the transmission power setting.
Check the maximum transmission power setting,
and adjust the setting accordingly.
The battery cannot be
inserted into the unit.
The battery is oriented incorrectly. Check the orientation of the battery, and insert it
until the lock lever locks into place (page 5).
The remaining battery
indicator is incorrect.
The unit turns off
immediately, even when the
remaining charge is
sufficient.
The unit does not turn on.
A battery other than the supplied NP-BX1
rechargeable battery pack is being used.
Use the supplied NP-BX1 rechargeable battery
pack.
The battery is not sufficiently charged. The battery will slowly discharge naturally, even
when the unit is not used. Fully charge the

Important Notes on
Operation
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5
years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month).
If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the
life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
The battery terminal of this unit (the connector for battery
packs and AC adaptors) is a consumable part.
Power may not be supplied to the unit properly if the pins
of the battery terminal are bent or deformed by shock or
vibrations, or if they become corroded due to prolonged
outdoor use.
Periodic inspections are recommended to keep the unit
working properly and to prolong its usable lifetime.
Contact a Sony service or sales representative for more
information about inspections.
Operation and Storage
• The unit must be used within a temperature range of 0 °C
to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F).
• Using the unit near electrical equipment (motors,
transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to be affected by
electromagnetic induction. Keep the unit as far from
such equipment as possible.
• The presence of the lighting equipment, including
decorative lights, may produce electrical interference
over the entire frequency range. The interference will
vary depending on the positions of the receiving antenna
and wireless microphone, so position equipment so that
interference is minimized.
• When using the unit in locations with excessive noise or
vibration, the vibration may transfer directly to the unit,
resulting in the generation of electrical noise
(microphonics) and degradation of the signal-to-noise
ratio. To prevent such occurrences, avoid using the unit
in the following locations.
– Near motors, transformers, etc.
– Locations subject to noise and air flow from air
conditioning equipment
– Near PA (public address) system speakers
– Locations subject to knocks or contact from adjacent
equipment
In addition to keeping the unit as far from such
equipment as possible, use buffering materials or take
other preventative measures.
Cleaning
• After using the unit in excessively humid or dusty
locations or in the presence of active gases, clean the
surface of the unit and its connectors as soon as possible.
Extended use in such locations or failure to clean may
shorten the life cycle of the unit.
• Wipe the surface of the unit and its connectors using a
soft, dry cloth. Never use chemicals, such as thinner,
benzene, or alcohol, as they may damage the finish.
Notes on Simultaneous Multi-
Channel Operation
• Keep transmitters at least 30 cm (11 7/8 in.) away from
each other.
If distances closer than the above between transmitters
cannot be avoided, use a grouping system for multi-
channel systems that includes both analog wireless and
digital wireless devices.
For details, refer to “Sony Digital Wireless Microphone
System Frequency Lists” on the supplied CD-ROM.
• Refer to the following when determining the distances
between the transmitters and the antennas of receivers.
When using only digital wireless devices:
• At least 4 m (13 ft.) (for up to 10 channels)
• At least 6 m (20 ft.) (for 11 or more channels)
When using a mixture of digital and analog
wireless devices:
At least 6 m (20 ft.)
• This system should be kept at least 100 m (328 ft.) 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 noise occurs, increase the distance between the
transmitter and receiver or decrease the transmission
power on the transmitter.
Notes on Use with Microphones
We recommend using the ECM-77LM lavelier
microphone with the unit. The unit’s transmission signal
may cause noise on other microphones. If noise occurs,
you may be able to reduce it by changing the position of
the microphone cable, moving the microphone connection
away from the antenna, or decreasing the transmission
power.
CROSS REMOTE Compatibility
As the unit supports a wider band than previous
transmitters, establishing wireless remote communication
via CROSS REMOTE between the unit and DWX-series
devices requires firmware update for the receiver and
RMU-01 unit.
For details on updating the firmware on the DWX-series
receiver or RMU-01 unit, contact your Sony
representative.
To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable
communication devices
The use of portable telephones and other communication
devices near the unit may result in malfunction and
interference with audio signals. It is recommended that
portable communication devices near the unit be turned off.

liable for any resulting damages.
Notes on the Battery
Charge the battery in an ambient temperature range of
10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). Efficient charging may not
be possible at other temperatures.
Battery usage
• Battery performance drops in low ambient temperatures,
resulting in shorter usable durations. To extend the usage
duration in low ambient temperatures, place the battery
in your pocket, for example, and insert it in the unit
immediately before use.
• The battery is not waterproof. Be careful not to wet the
battery.
• Do not leave the battery in high temperature
environments, such as inside a hot car or under direct
sunlight.
• If the battery terminals are dirty, problems, such as
power not being supplied or charging not being possible,
may occur. In such cases, wipe the battery terminals with
a dry cloth or cotton swab to remove the dirt.
Battery storage
• Even during extended periods of disuse, charge the
battery about once a year to maintain its functionality.
After charging the battery, insert it in the unit, use it until
it is completely discharged, and then remove it from the
unit before storing it in a cool location with low
humidity.
• To prevent dirtying of the terminals, short circuits, or
other problems, place the removed battery in a plastic
bag, for example, and keep it away from metal objects
during transport or storage.
Battery life cycle
• The battery is a consumable part. The battery’s charge
capacity will gradually decrease as time passes and the
battery is used. When the battery’s usable duration
becomes drastically reduced, it may have reached the
end of its life cycle. Purchase a new battery in such
cases.
• The battery’s life cycle will vary depending on storage
methods, usage conditions, and environments.
Notes on Drip Resistance
The unit is designed with a drip resistance equivalent to
IPX4/IPX5*. Water entering the inside of the unit may
result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction. Be sure to
read and understand the following precautions before use.
* IPX represents the degree ingress protection against
water. IPX4-equivalent specifications protect unit
functionality against splashes from all directions, while
IPX5-equivalent specifications protect against jets of
water from all directions.
Ensuring drip resistance
Be sure to read the following precautions, and handle the
unit properly.
• The battery compartment cover is plays a vital role in
maintaining drip resistance. When using the unit, be sure
to lock the battery compartment cover securely and
check that it is completely closed. Drip resistance cannot
be maintained when foreign objects are caught between
the cover’s rubber packing and the surface the packing
meets. This may result malfunction due to ingress of
water into the battery compartment. In such cases,
remove the foreign objects with a soft cloth that does not
leave behind particles.
• The unit’s rubber packing may crack or deform over
extended use depending on the usage environment. We
recommend periodic inspections to ensure drip
resistance. For details, contact your Sony representative.
• The unit is not water resistant. Do not submerge the unit
in water, subject it to running faucet water, or otherwise
subject it to high water pressure.
• Drip resistance cannot be guaranteed if the unit is
dropped or otherwise subjected to strong shock. In such
cases, we recommend inspection or repair.
The unit’s drip resistance is based on testing by Sony with
the battery compartment cover completely closed and
locked and the antenna completely secured. Sony will not
be liable for any damages resulting from ingress due to
improper handling of the unit.
