Troubleshooting

• Unable to receive audio signal. Make sure batteries are installed correctly and Power Switch is turned on. Check if the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same channel, if the microphone or earphone is well connected, or if the devices are set to the correct mode.
• Check if the transmitter is set to mute mode or not.
• Signal disturbance or shooting interference. Change a different channel of the transmitter and receiver.
• Operating audio distance limited or signal missing. Check if batteries are exhausted. If so, replace them.

Maintenance

• Avoid sudden drops. The device may fail to work after strong shocks, impacts, or excess stress.
• Keep dry. The product isn’t water-proof. Malfunction, rust, and corrosion may occur and go beyond repair if soaked in water or exposed to high humidity.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Condensation happens if sudden temperature changes such as the circumstance when taking the transmitter and receiver out of a building with higher temperature to outside in winter. Please put the transmitter and receiver in a handbag or plastic bag beforehand.
• Keep away from strong magnetic field. The strong static or magnetic field produced by devices such as radio transmitters leads to malfunction.
• Unauthorized service will void the warranty.
• If the product had failures or was wetted, do not use it until it is repaired by professionals.
• Changes made to the specifications or designs may not be reflected in this manual.
