TROUBLESHOOTING?

INTERFERENCE IN ANCHORMAN HEADSETS?

Switch your belt pack settings to a different AnchorMAN USER GROUP:  A, B, C or D.

BACKGROUND NOISE TRANSMITTING ACROSS SYSTEM?

Reduce the headset microphone sensitivity level.  Adjust the AnchorMAN mic sensitivity with the +/– Microphone 
buttons on the belt pack.

TRANSMISSION IS WEAK?

Your rechargeable batteries may be running low.  If batteries are weak, the Group LED’s will slowly flash.  Your 
belt pack needs to be recharged.  If you need to keep working, you can use disposable alkaline batteries.

PROPER INTERCOM ETIQUETTE

WingMAN is an interface station that allows full duplex communication between AnchorMAN belt packs and unbal-
anced party-line intercom systems.  Use proper intercom etiquette – wait to break into the conversation network 
until the other system users have stopped speaking.
