LC-Display 1. “ERR“ Message: When the “ERR“ message is displayed, there is an error. ERR noo3: The frequency you want to program is above the switching bandwidth of the transmitter. Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency group. (At this time the micro- phone is still operating and the frequency remains unchanged.
The interference is possibly eliminated by changing the squelch (refer also to chapter 1.4.5 “Squelch”. When using multi-channel-systems, please contact beyerdynamic. Interferences can also be caused by DVB-T television transmitters in the neighbourhood. What to Do to avoid Feedback Feedback is caused by your microphone getting too close to a loudspeaker.
