Transmitter Troubles
Make sure the power outlet is working and the 9V power adapter is connected correctly into a
grounded outlet
No Audio Heard in Headphone OUTPUT

a. Check to see if there is a signal coming from the audio source. Correct it if necessary.
b. Check to see if there is an incorrect or defective connection from the audio source.
Noise in Audio
a. Check to see if there is noise in source audio. Disconnect the audio cable to find it
out. If the noise disappears, the noise problem is from the source. Correct or repair
the audio source.
b. Check to see if the source level is too low. Adjust the source audio level or reset
input type switch and phantom power switch to match the existing source level.
c. Make sure there are no major internal obstructions, such as metal support post s,
between antenna and receiver.
Distorted Audio
a. Check to see if the source audio is distorted source. Correct or repair the audio
source if necessary.
b. Reset the input type switch and phantom power switch to match the source.
c. Reset the HI-Pass Filter to adjust the frequency response.
Reception Troubles
No Reception
a. Make sure the transmitter channel matches the receiver channel. Reset the
frequency following the channel setting procedures.
b. Check to see if the antenna is disconnected. Make sure the antenna switch selection
matches the antenna installed.
c. Reset the transmitter RF power level to see if there is a change.
d. Turn the volume controls up.
Insufficient Range, Poor Reception
a. Check to see if the transmitter antenna is installed incorrectly. Correct or replace the

b. Make sure the antenna is not near other transmitting antennas or metal objects. Be
