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”.
