TROUBLESHOOTING

CAN'T HEAR A PERSON SPEAKING?
Increase headset volume using the headset volume button on the side of the belt pack. Push the + symbol button until you
reach desired volume. In extremely loud environments, you will need to use the dual ear muff headset with noise cancelling
properties. If you still can't hear, you may be out of range and need to move closer to the user network.
MICROPHONE NOT PICKING UP YOUR VOICE?
First, adjust the microphone sensitivity setting on the side of the belt pack by pushing the + button incrementally until you
reach desired sensitivity level. Move the microphone closer to your mouth and speak up clearly. For example, people with
softer voices should set their belt packs to a more sensitive microphone level.
BACKGROUND NOISE TRANSMITTING ACROSS SYSTEM?
Reduce the microphone sensitivity setting by pushing the – symbol button until you reach the desired level.
TRANSMISSION IS WEAK?
Your rechargeable batteries may be running low. If batteries are weak, the Group LED's will slowly flash. Your belt pack
needs to be recharged. If you need to keep working, you can use disposable alkaline batteries.
PROPER INTERCOM ETIQUETTE
Anchorman is designed to allow 4 people to speak at once in close quarters and one person to speak at a time when the belt
packs are far apart.. Use proper intercom etiquette – wait to break into the conversation network until the other belt pack
users have stopped speaking. If a large number of users are in the network, we suggest PTT to allow members to jump in
and out of conversation.
