Sony WLL-CA50 Operation Manual

or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. For the customers in the U.S.A. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists and feet). FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The Wireless Camera Transmitter (WLL-CA50) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the Wireless Camera Transmitter (WLL-CA50) has been shown to be 1.19 W/kg at Head. You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment. The shielded interface cable recommended in this manual must be used with this equipment in order to comply with the limits for a digital device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules. For the customers in Canada Operation 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 opoeration of the device. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. IC Exposure of Humans to RF Fields The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb Pour les utilisateurs aux Canada L’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. Exposition humaine aux champs de radiofréquences (Industrie Canada) L’installateur de ce matériel radio doit s’assurer que l’antenne est située ou orientée de telle manière à ne pas émettre un champ de radiofréquence dépassant les limites spécifiées par Santé Canada pour la population générale ; consultez le Code de sécurité 6, disponible sur le site Web de Santé Canada : http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb Important Notice WARNING

Transmission To start transmission 1 Turn on the Camcorder. 2 Set the DC LINE switch to ON to turn on the transmitter. 3 Press the TX ON button. Video shot with the Camcorder is immediately transmitted. To stop transmission Set the DC LINE switch to OFF. You can also set it to OFF with a menu operation. Error Messages When an error is generated, one of the following error messages is displayed. Com Error Cause: The communication with the WLL-RX55 was lost although it had once been established. Measures: Check that the condition of the transmission from this unit to the WLL-RX55, and the UHF condition from the WLL-RX55 to this unit. Emission CW Reason: CW has been selected with a menu operation. Measures: Change the menu setting to OFDM. Or turn the transmitter off, then turn it on again. Low Battery Reason: The power voltage is lower than the value specified on the menu. Measures: Replace the battery, or increase the power voltage. No Video Reason: No video signal is detected. Measures: Check the power to the Camcorder. Or check the consistency between the transmitter and the Camcorder. NTSC Reason: An NTSC signal being supplied although the transmitter has been set for PAL use. Measures: Use a Camcorder of the PAL system. Or change the transmitter setting on this unit to NTSC. PAL Reason: A PAL signal being supplied although the transmitter has been set for NTSC use. Measures: Use a Camcorder of the NTSC system. Or change the transmitter setting on this unit to PAL. TX OFF Reason: The transmitter is waiting for a trigger for transmission. Measures: Press the TX ON button to start transmission. Backup Error Reason: The settings when the power was turned off have benn deleted. Measure: Reset if necessary. If this error occurs frequently, consult with a Sony service or sales representative.

check the power to the camera, and connection of input signals (40-pin consistency, etc.), then consult with a Sony service or sales representative. CAM Com Error Reason: Communication between this unit and the Camcorder cannot be made. PLD Config NG Cause: Trouble has occurred in the PLD on the DPR board. ENC Config NG Reason: The encoder cannot be initialized. RF PLL Unlock Reason: The PLL of the transmission module does not lock.
