TROUBLESHOOTING

POWER SUPPLY AND FUSE

LCD display not active • External power supply disconnected or inadequate.

• Main power supply fuse tripped. Turn the receiver off, remove the

cause of the overload and turn the receiver back on.

• Wrong polarity power source. The external DC in requires

POSITIVE to be on the center pin.

• Battery may be low. Try a fresh battery

PILOT TONE SQUELCH

PILOT indicator is solid “P”, but no sound • Audio output cable bad or disconnected.

• Audio Output level set too low. Use the built-in test tone to verify

levels.

PILOT “P” keeps flashing when transmitter

audio switch is turned on • It takes several seconds for the relay to actuate the PILOT. Turn

on the transmitter power (and the audio switch on some models)

and wait 3 to 5 seconds for the “P” to indicate steadily.

• Transmitter and receiver not on same frequency.

Noise on audio and Pilot indicator is “b” • The pilot tone bypass has been activated. Hold MENU and press

UP to reset (works only from the Main Window).

Note

The PILOT indicator on the front panel shows as a solid “P” to indicate that

the audio has been turned on at the transmitter, and that the audio output on

the receiver is enabled. When the “P” is on, the audio is enabled. If the

“P” is flashing the pilot tone is not detected and the audio will be muted

(squelched).

When the pilot tone is bypassed, the “P” icon changes to a “b” shape.

ANTENNAS AND RF SIGNAL STRENGTH

RF Level is weak • Receiver may need to be moved or reoriented.

• Transmitter antenna may be defective or poorly connected

• Improper length of antenna, or wrong antenna on transmitter.

(UHF whip antennas are generally about 3 to 5 inches long. UHF

helical antennas may be shorter, but are often less efficient.

No RF Signal • Make certain frequency switches on transmitter match the receiver

frequency setting.

• Check battery in transmitter

AUDIO SIGNAL QUALITY

Poor signal to noise ratio • Transmitter gain set too low

• The noise may not be in the wireless system. Turn the transmitter

audio gain all the way down and see if the noise remains. If the

noise remains, then turn the power off at the transmitter and see if

it remains. If the noise is still present, then the problem is not in

the transmitter.

• If noise is still present when the transmitter is turned off, try

lowering the audio output level on the UCR201 and see if the

noise lowers correspondingly. If the noise remains, the problem is

not in the receiver.

• Receiver output is too low for the input of the device it is feeding.

Try increasing the output level of the UCR201 and lowering the

input gain on the device the UCR211 is feeding.

Distortion • Transmitter input gain too high. Check and/or readjust input gain

on transmitter according to the LEDs on the transmitter and then

verify the setting with the audio meter in the main window.

• Audio output level too high for the device the UCR201 is feeding.

Lower the output level of the UCR211.
