If only the green light is on, it means that only transmitter A is successfully connected. If only the blue light is on it means that only transmitter B is successfully connected. Please check the distance or conduct a new pairing (Following section V part A in the manual).
C. When being charged, the red light is normally on and after fully charged it is off.

V. Troubleshooting

If you have any problems with the recording please check solutions below.

A. No Green/Blue Indicator On Receiver.

When powering on, if there is no blue/green indicator of the receiver (Fig ii.) it means that the transmitter and the receiver aren’t successfully paired. Please try pairing again following the steps below: (N.B. Please power off the receiver before pairing) (Fig viii.)

(1) Turn on transmitter “ ” (Fig i).
(2) Press “-” and “ ” of the transmitter (Fig i.) simultaneously for 3s and the display will flash to show it is ready to pair.
(3) Turn on the receiver, the indicator will flash 4 times.
(4) Press of the transmitter (fig ii.). The indicator of the receiver light will remain solid green and the pairing finished.

If you have the double mic kit, then repeat this for both transmitters. (Fig viii.)

(1) Simultaneously turn on 2 transmitters “ ” (Fig i).
(2) Press “-” and “ ” of 2 transmitters (Fig i.) simultaneously for 3s and the display will flash to show it is ready to pair.
(3) Turn on the receiver, the indicator will flash 4 times.
(4) Press of the transmitter (fig ii.).
(5) One transmitter will make the receiver light turn green and the other will make it turn blue. Once both are paired and turned on they will make the receiver light half green and half blue to indicate they are both connected and ready to record.

Fig viii.

N. B. (1) For Single Mic Kit users, if the display of the transmitter (Fig i.) shows CHB, please change the channel to CHA before pairing.

Process to change the channel of the transmitter: Turn on the transmitter, press “-” and “+” of the transmitter (Fig i.) simultaneously for about 10s, the channel will be changed;

(2)For Double Mic Kit users, if both transmitters display CHA or CHB, please change the channel of one of the transmitters before pairing, same process as above (1)

N.B. Default paired at factory and ready for use when power on.

B. No Sound When Monitoring.

If the blue/green indicator are on it means the transmitter and the receiver are successfully paired. Insert a headphone into the monitor of the receiver (Fig ii.) to see if there is sound.

Fig ix.

(3-pole connector)                   (4-pole connector)

Note:
( 1 ) If your headset has a 4-pole connector and you cannot insert all the plug, there should be room for all 4 poles (Fig iv.). You may need to use an adaptor.
(2) If your headset has a 3-pole connector, you need to insert whole plug.

If the green indicator of the receiver lights up but there is no sound from the earphone, please check if the lavalier microphone of the transmitter is connected correctly, or if the lavalier microphone is damaged.

Please check if the volume of the receiver is turned down too low. Adjust the “+” button to turn up the volume.

C. Sound When Monitoring.

If both connection and pairing are correct and the lavalier microphone is not damaged, please check the following.

(1) If there is sound from the headphone when monitoring, the microphone is fine, it might be a problem with the connection between the receiver and recording device. Please check the 3.5mm output cable is properly connected to the camera or other filming devices.
(2) Please check when using a lightning adaptor on an iPhone that it is an original one purchased from the Apple store, and if you have disabled the external microphone in the general settings.
(3) For Android phones, microphones could be restricted by original recording apps, downloading 3rd party recording apps could solve this problem.
(4) For Android phones without a 3.5 mm jack, you will need a Type-C to 3.5 mm jack adaptor that supports recording.
(5) For Samsung phones, may require a USB-C to 3.5 mm converter. Please make sure the connection is in the correct order. Firstly connect the TRRS cable to the device and then connect the other end to the receiver.

D. Distortion During Recording.

Wind noise – The microphone will need to be shielded from wind when outside. Consider using a deadcat mic cover.

Static noise
(1) Ensure the mic is not touching or rubbing on clothes or skin during recording.
(2) Check the volume level as high volume could distort the recording.
(3) Secure the wire so it doesn’t rub on clothes or skin during the recording.

VI. Other Notes

1. Do not use the product beyond the recommended usage distance, otherwise it will cause recording failure or discontinuous signal (sound).
2.  Do not place the Lavalier microphone too close to the sound source. Normally keep it at 15-20cm, otherwise it will cause sound distortion.
3. Do not record when there are too many obstacles or blocked by people, it can easily interfere or block the signals, causing signal (sound) disruptions when recording.
4. The volume output of the microphone should not be set too high. The volume level of the filming devices should not be set too high either. Try to set and match multiple times until you find the best volume.
