7. Troubleshooting

• Playback Video Without Sound: If you record a video and there is no sound during playback, please unplug the receiver from your iPhone/iPad. Alternatively, use headphones connected to your mobile phone to listen to the recorded video. This is a common behavior for devices when an external audio input device is connected.
• Microphones Not Pairing: Ensure the receiver is securely plugged into your device and the microphones are fully charged. Place the microphones back into the charging case for a few seconds, then remove them to re-initiate the auto-pairing process.
• Poor Audio Quality/Interference: Check the distance between the microphones and the receiver; try to stay within the recommended operating range. Ensure there are no major obstructions or strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby. Verify the windproof wool covers are properly installed.
• Battery Drains Quickly: Ensure the microphones are fully charged before use. If battery life is significantly shorter than expected, ensure the charging contacts are clean and the microphones are properly seated in the charging case.
