THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAL IN THE INTERCOM SYSTEM WHEN THE INTERCOM VOLUME IS TURNED UP
• Check the noisegate on the Wireless Headsets.
• Check for an open mic near headset speakers. Feedback problems are often fixed by turning the Intercom
volume down, moving the mic away from headset speakers, or unplugging a headset when not in use.
Unplug the headset locations one at a time from the rear of the Intercom Unit until the squeal stops.
•
• Check the headset configuration for faulty connections or components. See Troubleshooting a Headset
configuration (page 23).
• Check programming for "Mic Mute Checked".
THE RADIO RECEIVE AUDIO IS WEAK
• Check the setting of the radio's volume control. The radio's volume should be set at the normal volume for use
with no Intercom system present.
Verify proper connection to pins 6 & 7 on the Radio Interface Cable.
•
Try swapping the Intercom Unit with a known good one (if one is available). If the problem persists, the problem
•
is in the radio or the Mobile Radio Interface wiring.

Authorization (RMA) Number to return the Intercom Unit for repair.
