Sony UTX-B2K42 wireless lapel microphone user guide
The Sony UTX-B2K42 wireless lapel microphone can be used in certain non-central UQ teaching spaces.
Most central lecture theatres provide Shure wireless microphones at the lectern. If a teaching space has Shure wireless microphones or a CRESTRON touch panel at the lectern, you will not be able to use Sony wireless microphones in this space.

Instructions for non-central lecture theatres with an AMX touch panel AV control system
If the lecture theatre has Shure wireless microphones or a CRESTRON touch panel at the lectern, you will not be able to use Sony wireless microphones in this space.
To use the UTX-B2K42 microphone in a non-central lecture theatre:
- Use the power switch to turn the device OFF.
- Make sure that the Mic/Line switch is set to MIC.
- Press and hold SET, then turn the microphone ON.

The channel for the UQ lecture theatre should be displayed on a red volume fader on the audiovisual touch-panel display, and also on a sticker above the touch panel. See Radio microphone channels for a list of UQ teaching rooms and wireless microphone channels.
