Operating Instructions

Basic Controls

• Boom Arm: Rotate the microphone boom arm up to mute and down to unmute.
• 'B' Button: Press and hold the 'B' button on the master unit to enter domination mode. In this mode, the master can speak, and all remote units are muted.

MasterFree Functionality

The SYNCO MasterFree Algorithm provides flexible communication configurations:

• Any Unit as Master: Any headset can be designated as the master unit, providing flexibility in case the primary master unit's battery runs low or is unavailable.
• Independent Groups: The system allows for the creation of two independent communication groups without the need for an external hub. This is ideal for managing separate teams simultaneously.

Audio Features

• AEC Noise Cancellation: Equipped with advanced Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) technology, the system effectively eliminates echoes, reverberation, and unwanted ambient noise. This ensures crystal-clear voice recognition even in noisy environments, with an effective frequency range from 150Hz to 7KHz.
• Real-time Monitoring: A 3.5mm port allows for seamless real-time audio monitoring from external devices such as cameras and recorders. This feature is particularly useful for field control personnel, directors, and supervisors.

  • Confirm that units are properly paired. If issues persist, refer to the manual for re-pairing instructions.
• Poor Audio Quality/Noise:
  • Ensure microphone windscreens are correctly installed and clean.
  • Confirm that the AEC noise cancellation feature is active.
  • Move away from strong electromagnetic interference sources.
• Units Not Connecting:
  • Power cycle all units (turn off, then turn on again).
  • Perform a factory reset and re-pair the units according to the detailed manual instructions.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charging station is properly connected to a power source.
  • Verify that batteries are correctly inserted into the charging station.
  • Check for any damage to the charging cables or stations.
