EM 300

Problem

Possible cause

Possible solution

Receiver cannot be oper-
ated, “

Locked

” appears 

on the display panel

Lock mode is activated

Deactivate the lock mode 
(see page 21).

No operation indication

No mains connection

Check the connections of the mains unit.

No RF signal

Transmitter and receiver are not on the 
same channel

Set the transmitter and receiver to the same 
channel. To do so, use the synchronization 
function (see page 21).

Transmitter is out of range

Check the squelch threshold setting 
(see page 26).

Reduce the distance between transmitter and 
receiving antennas.

RF signal available, 
no audio signal, 

MUTE

” appears on the 

display panel

If “

TX Mute

” additionally appears on the 

display panel:
transmitter is muted (“

MUTE

”)

or 
transmitter doesn’t transmit a pilot tone

Cancel the muting (see page 22).

Switch the pilot tone transmission on the 
transmitter on (see page 28).

Switch the pilot tone evaluation on the receiver 
off (see page 27).

Receiver’s squelch threshold is adjusted 
too high

Reduce the squelch threshold (see page 26).

Reposition the antennas.

Audio signal has a high 
level of background noise

Transmitter sensitivity is adjusted too 
low/high

Adjust the transmitter sensitivity correctly 
(“

Sensitivity

”,  see page 28).

Audio signal is distorted

Transmitter sensitivity is adjusted too 
high

Adjust the transmitter sensitivity correctly 
(“

Sensitivity

”,  see page 28).

Receiver’s audio output level is adjusted 
too high

Reduce the audio output level 
(“

AF Out

”,  see page 26).

No access to a certain 
channel

During scanning, an RF signal has been 
detected on this channel and the channel 
has been locked

Set the transmitter operating on this channel 
to a different channel and redo the frequency 
preset scan (see page 26).

During scanning, a transmitter of your 
system operating on this channel has 
not been switched off

Switch the transmitter off and redo the 
frequency preset scan (see page 26).

None of the diversity 
displays I or II appears on 
the display panel

Receiver’s squelch threshold is adjusted 
too high 

Reduce the squelch threshold 
(see page 25).

Transmitter’s RF signal is too weak

Increase the transmission power of the 
transmitter.

Reduce the distance between transmitter and 
receiver.

Antennas are not connected correctly

Check the antenna cables or the antennas.

During the soundcheck, 
only one diversity display 
(I or II) appears on the 
display panel

One of the antennas is not connected 
correctly

Check the antenna cable or the antenna.

Antennas are not optimally positioned

Reposition the antennas.
