10. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FDUCE C-02 system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No sound input during recording.	Incorrect cable connection; adapter not supporting recording; low battery; units not paired.	Ensure TRRS cable is used for smartphones. Verify adapter supports recording. Check battery levels. Confirm units are paired (solid indicator light).
Audio interference or noise.	Nearby electronic devices; conflicting UHF channel; excessive distance.	Move away from other wireless devices. Press 'SET' button on transmitter to change channel. Reduce distance between transmitter and receiver (max 50m/164ft).
Low audio volume.	Transmitter volume too low; recording device input gain too low.	Increase volume using +/- buttons on the transmitter. Adjust input gain settings on your recording device (camera/smartphone).
Units not pairing.	Units too far apart; interference; power issue.	Ensure units are within close proximity during initial pairing. Power cycle both units. Check for strong interference sources.
