Troubleshooting
Issue Resolution
Unit does not turn on Replace batteries and make sure that the batteries are installed correctly.
Sound is distorted
Microphone gain may be set too high, resulting in clipping. Try lowering the gain.
If gain appears to be adjusted properly, try lowering the headphone output volume or using
a different pair of headphones.
Make sure headphone and/or camera outputs are plugged in all the way.
No sound
If the audio meter doesn’t register a signal, try increasing the microphone gain.
If the audio meter indicates a signal, check the headphone output level and the headphone
connection.
If gain is adjusted correctly with the headphone output turned up and there is still no
sound, try a different pair of headphones.
