  • Optimal Placement: For best wireless performance, ensure a clear line of sight between the transmitters and the receiver. Avoid placing the receiver near large metal objects or other wireless devices that may cause interference. The extended dual-band wireless antenna helps in clear audio capture.
  • Mute Function: The beltpack transmitters may include a mute switch for temporarily silencing the microphone without turning off the unit.

Maintenance

  • Battery Replacement: Replace "AA" batteries in the beltpack transmitters when the low battery indicator appears on the transmitter or receiver, or when audio quality degrades. Always use fresh batteries.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the receiver and transmitters. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from the transmitters and store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
