• Increase the squelch on the affected channel.
• Make sure each module is set to a different frequency. Do not assign more than one mic to a module.
• Try a different wireless frequency channel.
Burst of static when turning off a microphone
• Increase the squelch on the affected channel.
• Make sure microphones are at least 1ft from each other.
• Make sure the microphones are at least 5ft from the receiver.
Can't find an interference free frequency
• Refer to obtaining information on your proximity to TV broadcast towers.
The microphone will not set to the desired frequency
• Make sure the microphone has charged batteries.

Commonly Asked Questions
What is Squelch (SQ)?
The Squelch is intended for use against minor signal interference. It should be the first step at troubleshooting a
frequency problem. See "Setting the Squelch".
I turned the mic on but get no AF/RF lights, what's the deal?
The microphone likely needs to be re-synced with its respective module. See "Re-syncing the Microphones" .
Why is there AF/RF bars showing up when the microphones are turned off?
The LCD display should be clear of both AF/RF bars when the microphones are off. If they're still there when the mics
are off then that would be indicative of an unclear frequency channel. See "Setting the Frequencies Automatically"
(page 14) to find a clear channel, or if being used in a RF-heavy area, see "Setting he Frequencies Manually".
