Cautions and Troubleshooting

Feedback 

Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or 
screeching) by taking care in selecting 
PA volume, transmitter location and 
speaker placement.

Please also note the pickup pattern 
characteristics of the microphone selected. 
Unidirectional microphones are more 
resistant to feedback. However, they pick 
up sound sources best that are directly in 
front of the microphone. Also Microphones 
that are farther from the sound source 
require more acoustic gain and thus are also 

more prone to feed back than close-source 
microphones such as handheld.

no or low audio 

If you are not getting audio through the 
system, carefully re-check all setups. 
Especially note that the receiver and 
transmitter must be set to operate on the 
same RF channel. For UH/UB-3 transmitters, 
also confirm that the Power Switch is not in 
the MUTE position. The receiver’s balanced 
Line Level Out is adjustable so make sure 
the Output Volume Control is set properly. 

rF Interference and Finding Open Channels

The FCC mandates the following information be provided to all end users of this equipment:

Consumer alert

Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, 
operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system 
may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50mW); 
and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also 
be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules 
are subject to change.

For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) 
or visit 

www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/wirelessmic_factsheet.html

.

If you encounter slight receiving interference 
when the transmitter is far from the receiver 
(from other than an operating TV station 
on the same frequency), interference on 
a selected channel with the transmitter 
off, you must replace the receiver and  
transmitter to a different channel.

Please note that wireless frequencies are 
shared with other radio services. According 
to FCC regulations, wireless microphone 
operations are unprotected from 
interference from other licensed operations 

in the band. If any interference is received 
by any Government or non-government 
operation, the wireless microphone must 
cease operation or change frequencies. 
The above statement is valid only for use 
in the U.S.A. 

Note: 

The VR-3U’s 

reCeIVeD SIGnal (3)

 icon 

indicates good signal strength in operation with 
the transmitter on, but with the transmitter off 
also indicates the presence of likely RF interfering 
signals at that location. If this happens, select 
a different channel. It is ideal to have no LED lit 
for interference-free operation.
