10. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No sound or low volume	Ensure both TX and RX are powered on and paired. Check the gain level on the transmitter and adjust using the +/- buttons. Verify the receiver is correctly connected to your recording device. Check the volume settings on your recording device. Ensure the microphone is not muted (check MUTE button on TX).
Interference or poor audio quality	Move closer to the receiver; ensure you are within the 100m operating range. Avoid obstacles between the transmitter and receiver. Activate the noise cancellation feature (NR button) in noisy environments. Ensure the furry windscreen is used outdoors to reduce wind noise. Check for other 2.4GHz devices that might cause interference.
Units not pairing	Ensure both TX and RX are fully charged. Power off and then power on both units. They should automatically re-pair. If automatic re-pairing fails, refer to the full manual on the BOYA website for specific AUTO-REPAIRING instructions.
Charging case not charging devices	Ensure the charging case itself is charged (check indicator lights). Verify that the transmitters and receiver are correctly seated in the charging contacts. Clean the charging contacts on both the units and the case.
