Troubleshooting

Problem

The camera is locked on one microphone and
will not move when other “press-to-talk” buttons
are pressed.

Solution

Verify that the positive (+) and negative (-) leads on
the cable connecting that the microphones to the
PRM are lined up correctly with the contact closure
leads on the PRM.
