SAFETY NOTEDo not place your beltpacks on heating equipment, cooking equipment, high-pressure containers (such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric ovens, heaters, pressure cookers, water heaters, gas stoves, etc.) to prevent the battery from overheating and exploding. The original mating type of charger, data cable, and battery must be used. Chargers, data cables, or batteries that are not certified by the manufacturer or not the companion model may cause electric shock, fire, explosion, or other hazards.POOR AUDIO QUALITY
First, confirm whether the belt pack antennas are correctly installed and tightened. If there Is no Improvement, replace the antennas.
Ensure that the belt pack and the base station are in the transmission range and there is no obstacle between the main station and the belt pack.
Check if the volume of the belt pack is too low and turn it to a comfortable level.
Due to the difference in Impedance and setting bias, we generally don’t recommend customers use their own 4-stage 3.5mm headset. If the sound quality is poor, replace the headset.
BASE STATION CANNOT DISPLAY BELT PACK INFORMATION
First, confirm whether the belt pack antennas are correctly installed and tightened. If there Is no Improvement, replace the antennas.
Check the status of the Beltpack. If °LOST’ appears on the belt pack screen, make sure that the beltpack is within the transmission range from the base station.
Check the status of the belt pack. If it is displayed as “NULL”. it means that the belt pack information is lost due to incorrect operation, and it needs to be reregistered.
NO SOUND BETWEEN THE BASE STATION AND BELT PACK
Confirm if the “REMOTE MIC KILL” button on the Base station is on. If the red light is on, click on it to turn it off.
Check the current status on the belt pack screen. If it’s on “MUTE”, long-press the “MUTE/TALK” button on the side to switch it to “TALK”.
Check if the headset functions well and if you wear the headset and mic properly. (correct way: put the headset on the head with the mic less than 10cm from your mouth)
TALLY FUNCTION UNAVAILABLE
Confirm that the type of the switcher is correct. The TALLY interface definition is not unified on most switchers, so it will cause TALLY dysfunction;
Due to various types of the switcher, the high-level value will work when pushing the level switch to “High” on the TALLY signal universal converter; the low-level value will work when pushing the level switch to “Low” on the TALLY signal universal converter;
Confirm the ID of the beltpacks, and check if the TALLY converter connects with the USB Type-A interface on the base station correctly;
The belt pack only supports external TALLY light. Confirm if the belt pack connects to an external TALLY correctly;
