Troubleshooting

Issue

See Solution...

No sound

Power, Cables, or RF

Faint Sound or Distortion

Gain

Lack of range, unwanted noise bursts, or drop outs

RF

Cannot turn transmitter off or change frequency settings, or can’t program receiver

Interface Locks

Excessive hum or buzzing

Ground lift

Power

Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are receiving sufficient 

voltage. The receiver requires at least 90 Vac. Check the battery indicator 

on the transmitter and replace battery if necessary.

Gain

Adjust the transmitter gain and sensitivity settings (see page 15) or the 

receiver output level (page 9), or toggle the 

mic/line

 switch on the back 

of the receiver.

Cables

Check that all cables and connectors are in working order.

Ground Lift

Lifting the ground on pin 1 of the XLR output on the receiver can 

sometimes remove hum or buzz in the audio signal. Set the 

GND/LIFT 

switch on the receiver to 

LIFT

 if you are using the XLR connector.

Interface Locks

Both the transmitter and receiver can be locked to prevent accidental 

changes. On transmitters, look for a lock symbol on the LCD and use the 

key combinations illustrated on page 15 to turn it off.
To turn off the receiver interface lock, see page 9.

Increasing Range

If the transmitter is more than 6 to 60 m (20 to 200 ft) from the receiver 

antenna, you may be able to increase range by doing one of the following:

• 

Reduce interference (see above)

• 

Increase transmitter RF power level (see page 15).

• 

Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or 

other antenna accessory to increase RF range (see page 21).

Radio Frequency (RF)

Using the RF LEDs

If neither blue

 RF

 LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not detecting the 

presence of a transmitter.
The amber 

RF

 LEDs indicate the amount of signal being received. This 

signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering 

source, such as a television broadcast. Turn the transmitter off. If more 

than one or two of the amber 

RF

  LEDs are still illuminated, then that 

channel has too much interference, and you should try a different channel.
The red 

RF

  LED indicates RF overload. This will usually not cause a 

problem unless you are using more than one system at the same time, in 

which case, it can cause interference between systems.

Eliminating RF Overload

If you see the red 

RF

 LED on a receiver, reduce the transmitter RF 

power level (see page 15) or move the transmitter further away from the 

receiver—at least 6 m (20 ft). If you are using active antennas, reduce 

antenna or amplifier gain.

Compatibility

• 

Perform a transmitter sync, or make sure the transmitter and 

receiver are set to the same group and channel.

• 

Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure 

they are in the same band (H4, J5, L3, etc...).

Reducing Interference

• 

Use a different channel or perform an automatic group or channel 

scan (see page 11).

• 

For multiple systems, check that all systems are set to channels 

in the same group (systems in different bands do not need to be 

set to the same group).

• 

Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver 

antennas

• 

Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other 

sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers, 

digital effects, network switches, network cables and Personal 

Stereo Monitor (PSM) wireless systems).

• 

Eliminate RF overload.
