Important Note for Android Users

Some Android devices may require enabling the OTG (On-The-Go) feature for external microphones to function correctly. Additionally, the default camera application on certain Android phones may not support external wireless microphone connections. In such cases, it is recommended to download a third-party camera application like 'Open Camera'.

Enabling OTG:

Navigate to your phone's settings and locate the OTG option. Enable this feature. OTG typically allows your phone to connect to USB flash drives or charge other devices. It may automatically turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Using 'Open Camera' App:

If your default camera app does not support the wireless microphone, download the 'Open Camera' app. Within the 'Open Camera' app settings, go to 'Video Settings', then 'Audio Source', and select 'External mic (if present)'.

  • Charging Ports: Keep charging ports free from dust and debris.
  • Handling: Handle the components with care to prevent physical damage.

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

  • Android Devices: If the microphone does not connect or record audio on an Android device, ensure the OTG feature is enabled in your phone's settings. Refer to the "Important Note for Android Users" section for detailed instructions.
  • General Connection: Ensure the receiver is fully inserted into your device's port and the microphone transmitters are powered on. If issues persist, try restarting both your recording device and the microphone system.

No Audio Recording with Default Camera App (Android)

Configure the audio source within the app to "External mic (if present)". Refer to the "Important Note for Android Users" section for detailed instructions.

Poor Audio Quality

  • Noise Reduction: Adjust the noise reduction level according to your environment. In very noisy settings, Level 3 noise reduction can significantly reduce background sound.
  • Distance: Ensure the microphone is within the optimal transmission range (up to 65 feet / 20 meters) from the receiver.
  • Obstructions: Minimize physical obstructions between the microphone and receiver.

Charging Problems

  • Protective Partition: Ensure any protective partition at the microphone's charging port has been removed before attempting to charge.
