Our “Project Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program will replace defective parts and repair malfunctioning products under this warranty when the defect occurs under normal use, provided the unit is returned to our factory via prepaid transportation only after the factory issues an RA (Return Authorization) number which must be clearly written on the outside of the shipping box.

button for about 3 seconds.
* Since the PA919SD and PA919 each have two built-in wireless receivers, make sure the corresponding M319 (or Q319) transmitters are set to different frequencies (one for each channel).
Power Adjustment (Optional)
- The power output of the M319 can be adjusted between low (5mW) and high (10mW) power settings, depending on the level of interference or the range of required transmission (low power up to 40’/high power up to 200’). When there may be other PA products used in neighboring or adjoining rooms, using the low setting will reduce the occurrence of experiencing any interference.
- With the power off, simply change the transmit power by moving the switch to the desired setting.
