Trouble-shooting

Problem: No sound

Solution: When working correctly, both the RF Level and AF Level meter displays in the UR-5 or UR-5D receiver should be lit when signal is present. If they aren’t, follow these step-by-step troubleshooting sug- gestions to identify the problem. If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” you’ve probably located the difficulty. If both the RF Level and AF Level displays are lit, you can skip ahead to questions 9, 10 and 11.

1.Are your transmitter and receiver both powered on? When first

powered on, the “Battery” LED in the UT-5 and UH-5 will light for two- tenths of a second and then go off, and one or more segments of the UR-5 or UR-5D RF Level display will be continuously lit, indicating carrier transmission.

2.Is the battery in your transmitter fresh? (If not, the “Battery” LED will be lit bright red).

3.If you’re using the UT-5 belt-pack transmitter, is the “INST/MIC” input switch set correctly? If so, is the physical lavalier, headset or instrument cable connection correctly wired and secure? If you’re using the UT-5 for electric guitar or bass, check to see that the instrument’s settings are correct (i.e. master volume up, etc.).

4.Is the “MUTE” LED on the receiver off and is the “Audio” switch on the transmitter set to “On”?

5.If you are using the UH-5 or the UT-5 with a lavalier or headset microphone, is the Mic level control (trimpot) on the transmitter set to a value greater than 0? If you are using the UT-5 with an instrument, is the Instrument level control (trimpot) on the transmitter set to a value greater than 0?

6.Is the AF Level knob on the receiver set to a value greater than 0?

7.Are your transmitter and receiver both set to the same Group and Channel number? (If so, one or more LEDs in the “RF Level” display will be lit.)
