For more details, see “Using the CD-ROM manual” on page 11.
2WARNINGBatteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.For the customers in the U.S.A.This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Important NoticeThis equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists and feet).Notice for customers in the U.S.A.Use of Sony wireless devices is regulated by the Federal Communications Commision as described in Part 74 subpart H of the FCC regulations and users authorized thereby are required to obtain an appropriate license.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 radio (SAR).For the customers in CanadaOperation 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.To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 0 dB.Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.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.AVERTISSEMENTN’exposez pas les batteries à une chaleur excessive, au soleil ou près d’un feu par exemple.
3Pour les utilisateurs au CanadaL’utilisation doit répondre aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) ce matériel ne doit pas provoquer de brouillage et (2) il doit accepter tout brouillage, même celui qui est susceptible d’affecter son fonctionnement.La mention « IC: » devant le numéro de certification/ homologation signifie uniquement que les spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada sont remplies.R-13_FRXXXTo reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.XXXR-14_FRXXXThis device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 0 dB.Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada.

Replace both batteries when the battery indication starts to flash.Be sure to check the expiration date printed date on the new batteries before using them.The indication is based on the use of new LR6 (size AA) Sony Alkaline batteries. An incorrect indication may result when a different kind of batteries, a different brand of batteries or old batteries are used. If you plan to use the transmitter for a long period of time, it is recommended that you replace the batteries with brand new ones.Note
30 Important notes on operationImportant notes on operationNotes 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-to-noise 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 tunerKeep 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.To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communication devicesThe use of portable telephones and other communication devices near the DWT-B01 may result in malfunction and interference with audio signals. It is recommended that portable communication devices near the DWT-B01 be turned off.
