Troubleshooting

The optimum distance is up to approximately 30 feetwithout the system picking up some interference. However,the distance may vary according to the surroundings andenvironment. If the system picks up some noise whileusing it within the above mentioned distance, reduce thedistance between the transmitter unit and the headphones,or select another channel.

When you use the headphones inside the effectiveareas of the transmitter, the transmitter can be placedin any directi on from the listener.Even within the signal reception area, there are somespots(dead spot) where the RF signal can not bereceived. This is a characteristic inherent to RF signals,and does not indicate malfunction. By slightly moving

the transmitter, location of the dead spot can bechanged.
