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.)
