troubleshooting
No Sound
• verify the mute switch on the top of the unit
is in the off (up) position.
• verify the transmitter is operating on the
same FM channel as the receiver
• verify the transmitter power is on
• verify the microphone cord is inserted
properly into the mic jack
• if using the aux jack on the transmitter for
external sound, verify the AT0529A antenna
is plugged into the mic jack. If using a
microphone cord as an antenna, make sure it
is not coiled.
• verify an approved PE microphone is being
used (AT0655, AT0814, AT0816, AT0291-L
or AT0668-L)
Batteries NOT charging
• verify only Phonic Ear NiMH batteries are
being charged. 330T unit will not charge dis-
posable alkaline or other rechargeable batteries.
• check battery polarity markings to verify
batteries are oriented properly
• verify the power switch is in the off(chg)
position
• verify the charging cord is plugged in to the
chg port and NOT the aux port
• verify the wall transformer is plugged into an
operational electrical outlet

being used. Omni-directional mics should
not be used with the 330T.
• lower the FM volume/gain control on the
LEXIS, EASYLISTENER 2 or other receiver
• turn OPTIVOICE to medium, or low position
• have a sound professional adjust 3-band
equalizer controls on the receiver, confirm
they are not set to a high frequency setting
Static
• confirm microphone cord is not coiled
• verify approved PE microphones are being
used (AT0655, AT0814, AT0816, AT0291-L,
