Setup and Initial Use

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOYA Magic-03 Wireless Lavalier Microphone, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Storage: Store the device in the provided storage bag when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures (above 50°C or below 0°C).
  • Moisture: Keep the device dry and away from moisture to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems using the unit, please refer to the following checklist. If the problem cannot be solved, contact customer service.

Transmitters cannot pair with the receiver:

  • Turn off the transmitter(s) and the receiver. Press and hold their power buttons for 5 seconds until their status indicators blink blue quickly to pair again.

Charging case cannot pair with the receiver:

  • When using the charging case as a handheld or desktop microphone, ensure the microphone is placed in the first slot. If the microphone is already in the first slot but cannot connect to the receiver, remove it and re-pair following the steps above.

Operating range is limited, sound changes, or noise appears:

  • Make sure there is no interference from high-power wireless routers or devices in your recording environment. If the recording environment can't be changed, you need to find the optimal distance and angle for recording.
  • Due to 2.4GHz wireless frequency, signal can be easily attenuated. Please try to avoid obstacles, such as walls and buildings, and avoid close proximity to devices with 2.4 GHz signal, such as high-power Wi-Fi antennas, radios, etc.
  • Make sure the receiver is well connected to your device properly.

Transmitter(s) or the receiver doesn't power on:

  • If the battery is completely depleted because the transmitter(s) or the receiver has not been used for a long time, charge it.

Charging case can't charge the transmitter(s):

  • If the remaining charge of the charging case is too low, please recharge the case and try again.
  • Wipe the charging contacts on the transmitter(s), and charging pins in the case with a clean cloth. Make sure there is no dirt covering them.
  • If the charging contacts and pins are not firmly connected due to insufficient magnetic force, please contact customer service.
