FAQ
1. First confirm whether the beltpack antennas are correctly installed and
tightened. If there is no improvement, replace the antennas.
2. Ensure that the beltpack and the base station are in the transmission range and
there is no obstacle between the main station and the beltpack.
3. Check if the volume of the beltpack is too low and turn it to a comfortable level.
4. Due to the difference in impedance and setting bias, we generally don’t
recommend customers to use his own 4-stage 3.5mm headset. If the sound quality
is poor, replace the headset.

1. First confirm whether the beltpack antennas are correctly installed and
tightened. If there is no improvement, replace the antennas.
2. Check the status of the Beltpack. If LOST appears on the beltpack screen, “ ”
make sure that the beltpack is within the transmission range from the base station.
3. Check the status of the beltpack. If it is displayed as NULL , it means that the “ ”
beltpack information is lost due to incorrect operation, and it needs to be

SAFETY NOTE
Do not place your beltpacks on heating equipment, cooking equipment, high-
pressure containers (such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric
ovens, heaters, pressure cookers, water heaters, gas stoves, etc.) to prevent
the battery from overheating and exploding.The original mating type of
charger, data cable, and battery must be used. Chargers, data cables, or
batteries that are not certified by the manufacturer or not the companion
model may cause electric shock, fire, explosion, or other hazards.

FAQ
1. Confirm that the type of the switcher is correct. The TALLY interface definition is
not unified on most switchers, so it will cause TALLY dysfunction;
2. Due to various types of the switcher, high-level value will work when push the
level switch to “High” on the TALLY signal universal converter; low-level value will
work when push the level switch to “Low” on the TALLY signal universal converter;
3. Confirm the ID of the beltpacks, and check if the TALLY converter connects with
the USB Type-A interface on the base station correctly;
4. The beltpack only supports external TALLY light. Confirm if the beltpack
connects to an external TALLY correctly;
