and can present a variety of problems. Never attempt a live performance

without first conducting a test of the system in the performing area.

If major changes (additional wireless systems or intercoms, relocation

of scenery, etc.) have been made since the last test, check the wireless

system again - as close to performance time as possible.

Recommendation

Inserting/Replacing the batteries

Please refer to the explanations under Operating Determinations.

Please take old and used batteries to a collection center near you.

Batteries

PROBLEM: REMEDY:

No power. ▪Check the connection cable of the power unit and any extension-cables.
No sound; receiver RF-indicator does not flash.	□Make sure POWER switches on transmitter and receiver are on. ▪Check transmitter Power-LED to ensure that Battery is providing power. Replace battery if necessary. ▪Make sure that the receiver is in the line of sight of the transmitter. If necessary, reduce the distance between transmitter and receiver.
No receiver sound; receiver RF-indicator flashes.	□Turn up the receiver audio output LEVEL control. ▪Check for proper connection between receiver and microphone mixer. ▪Talk into the microphone and observe the receiver RF-indicator. If it flashes, the problem is elsewhere in the sound system.
Received signal is noisy or contains extraneous sounds with transmitter on.	□Check transmitter Power-LED to ensure that battery is providing power. ▪Remove local sources of RF interference, such as lighting equipment. ▪Two transmitters may be operating on the same frequency. Locate and turn one off. ▪Signal may be too weak. If possible, move receiver closer to the transmitter.
Noise from receiver with transmitter off.	□Remove local sources of RF interference, such as lighting equipment. ▪Reposition the receiver.
Momentary loss of sound as transmitter is moved around performing area.	□Reposition receiver and perform another test and observe the RF-indicator. If audio drop-outs persist, mark these dead spots in the performing area and avoid them during the performance.

DANGER TO LIFE!

Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!

We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!

There are no servicable parts inside the device except for the batteries. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
