” 

appears on the display 
panel

Lock mode is activated

Deactivate the lock mode (see page 18).

No operation indication Batteries are flat or accupack is 

flat

Replace the batteries or recharge the accupack 
(see page 14).

No RF signal

Transmitter and receiver are not 
on the same channel

Set the transmitter and receiver to the same channel.

Synchronize the transmitter with the receiver 
(see page 20).

Transmission range is exceeded

Check the squelch threshold setting.

Reduce the distance between transmitter and receiving 
antennas.

RF signal is deactivated 
(“

RF Mute

“)

Activate the RF signal (see page 19).

RF signal available, no 
audio signal, “

MUTE

” 

appears on the display 
panel

Transmitter is muted

Cancel the muting (see page 16).

Receiver’s squelch threshold is 
adjusted too high

Reduce the squelch threshold setting on the receiver.

Transmitter is set to mono 
operation and therefore doesn’t 
transmit a pilot tone

Deactivate the pilot tone evaluation.

Transmitter is set to stereo 
operation and therefore 
transmits a pilot tone

Activate the pilot tone evaluation.

Audio signal has a high 
level of background 
noise

Transmitter sensitivity is 
adjusted too low

Adjust the transmitter sensitivity correctly.

Audio signal is distorted Transmitter sensitivity is 

adjusted too high

Adjust the transmitter sensitivity correctly.

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.

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.
