Lighting device does not respond 

  Check the power supply for both the UDMR and the 

lighting device. 

  Check the lighting device settings. 

  Make sure that the connector cables are not 

disconnected. 

The UDMR makes a ticking sound. 

The UDMR's internal relays may make a clicking sound in 
the case of continuous control input etc. However, this is 
normal and does not imply a malfunction. To prevent wear 
to the relays, you can limit relay operation to once by 
selecting repeat phrase playback.

  See 'Setting the repeat playback' on page 35.
