Receiver won’t turn on (power light doesn’t 
turn on)

 

•   Verify that the power supply is plugged into 

both the receiver and a working wall outlet

•  Test with another power supply

Receiver keeps going into standby mode 
when playing auxiliary audio

•   Volume level on auxiliary audio device is set 

too low

Receiver will not "wake up" from standby mode

•   Volume level on auxiliary audio device is set 

too low

•   Make sure microphone is on and working cor-

rectly, and the receiver is receiving the signal

Adapto LED keeps flashing on and off

•   This is normal. The light will turn on when 

the Adapto platform is processing the speech 
signal. There is nothing you need to do

’Dead spots’ or microphone crackling/noise

•   Verify that you are not blocking either the 

emitters on the microphone or the sensors 
on receiver or mounted around room

•   If reception is interrupted or noisy when facing 

a certain direction, install an additional sensor 
in that area of the room (see 

Installer Guide

)

•   If using more than one microphone, verify 

that they are not on the same channel

•  Recharge or replace the microphone batteries

No signal reception (channel indicator light 
on receiver is red)

 

•  Check that the microphone is on
•   Check that the microphone is not muted 

(940TM only)

•   Verify that you are not blocking either the 

emitters on the microphone or the sensors 
on receiver or mounted around the room

•   If reception is interrupted when facing a 

certain direction, install an additional sensor 
in that area of the room (see 

Installer Guide

)

•   If using more than one microphone, verify 

that they are not on the same channel

•  Recharge or replace the microphone batteries

Feedback (squealing)

 

•  Lower the Microphone A or B Volume control(s) 

on the receiver

•   Make sure that speakers are mounted as close  

as possible to the ceiling and to the listening 
area; avoid mounting speakers in the teacher’s 
primary lecture area

•  Position the microphone closer to mouth
•   Select the Low or Medium OptiVoice setting
•   Set the gain switch on the pass-around  

microphone to "mid" or "low"

Weak or no output from speaker(s)

•  Increase the Microphone A or B Volume  

or Aux-In Audio Volume control(s) on  
the receiver, or audio device

•  Position the microphone closer to mouth
•   Set the gain switch on the pass-around 

microphone to "mid" or "high"

•   Verify that the speakers have been properly 

installed

High or low pitched whine or hum coming 
through speakers

•  There may be a ground loop with the 

system. Install a ground loop isolator (see 

Installer Guide

)

•   There may be "noisy" electrical wiring. Install 

an AC line filter (see 

Installer Guide

)

Sensor lights are blinking

•  This is normal. When the 940R is in standby mode 

the sensor LED's will blink every two seconds

Charger light won't come on or is blinking red

•  Check that the charger is connected to a 

working power outlet

•  The charger can charge only 950H and 

940TM microphones with charge contacts. 
Refer to page 3, feature 12 to confirm that 
your microphone has these contacts.

•  You may be attempting to charge an  

alkaline battery or a rechargeable battery  
that has reached the end of its useful 
life. Check the battery and replace with a 
FrontRow "silver sleeve" rechargeable battery.
