Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
Distorted audio/statics noises • Select an interference-free frequency for

use
• Place the PMT-1 transmitter highly or move it to another place
• Check the volume levels at the PMT-1 transmitter and verify that the meter is not reaching the overload indicator
• Make sure batteries in the receiver are fresh
• Check that all cables are fully inserted
No sound from a receiver| • Adjust the volume level of the transmitter and receivers
• Check that the receiver is on and the earphone is properly connected to the receiver
• Make sure the transmitter and receivers are linked to the same group and channel; otherwise, pair them up again
• Connect a new earphone to the receiver
High noise floor| • Adjust the proper amount of gain of input audio signals
The MUTE indicator on the receiver display after synchronization| • Vertically pair up the receiver and transmitter until the MUTE indicator disappears.
• The MUTE indicator flashes to indicate cutoffs; it is better to change the frequency of the receiver and vertically pair it with the receiver again.
Other receiver malfunction| • Reset the receiver to fix malfunction:
(1): Long press the power button to turn off the receiver.
(2): Long press the power and SET buttons together for 2 seconds to reset the receiver. And the receiver display shows the initial frequency setting “01 01”.
(3): Vertically pair up the receiver and transmitter.
Sync failure for pairing a bodypack that is synced with a transmitter with another transmitter again| •The paired receiver is locked by its transmitter. If you need to pair it with another transmitter, please unlock the system by powering off the transmitter or resetting the bodypack receiver.
