ERR: Error Code
If the LCD displays “ERR” after turning on the
power, it indicates the operation is not correct. The
error codes are as follows:
ROM-ER →Transmitter does not have the initial
data so the microphone is completely
dead and cannot be programmed.
ERROR1 →Failure on RF circuitry, frequency
cannot be programmed.
NO----OR3 →Frequency to be programmed into
the transmitter exceeds the highest
frequency of the designated
frequency band of the transmitter.
NO----OR4 →Frequency to be programmed into
the transmitter exceeds the lowest
frequency of the designated
frequency band of the transmitter.
**Note:
NO----OR3 and NO----OR4 will not change the
transmitter's original frequency and the
transmitter will still operate normally with the
error message on display. To remove the error
message from the display panel, please switch
off the transmitter and switch it on again.

High Frequency Bypass
a. When other microphones are in use, some
changes may be needed to another microphone
before adding it to the system in order to avoid
high frequency interference, as illustrated in
diagram (1).
b. When a high frequency radio wave causes
interference, it normally affects the system by
generating a persistent noise or by deteriorating
the frequency response. In an effort to
ameliorate these problems, a 330PF bypass
condenser can be added on the cartridge as
shown in diagrams (1) and (2). If this method is
not possible, another option is to add a bypass
condenser on the 4-pin XLR connector as shown
in diagrams (3) and (4).
**The Best Method
(1) Connect to two-wire condenser capsule
Add 330pF bypass capacitor
(2) Connect to three-wire condenser capsule
Add 330pF bypass capacitor

Caution
Note: Transmitter cannot be powered on with
charged battery.
Method 1:
a. Ensure battery is inserted correctly with + top
side.
b. If battery is inserted correctly it could be due
to self battery protection mechanism. Insert the
transmitter into the charger to re-charge for
10-20 seconds to wake-up the battery. It
should work.
c. If charger cannot be used, reverse the battery
insertion for 10-20 seconds, wake up the
battery with correct polarity. It should work.
Method 2:
a. Power off the transmitter before open the
hinged cover. Press battery protection circuitry
reset button once to wake-up battery. Power on
the transmitter.

WARNING
1. FOR OUTDOOR USE:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
2. UNDER WET LOCATION:
Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases should be placed on the apparatus.
3. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION - These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.
Dispose of any unusable devices or batteries
responsibly and in accordance with any
applicable regulations.
Disposing of used batteries with domestic waste
is to be avoided!
Batteries / NiCad cells often contain heavy
metals such as cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg) and
lead(Pb) that makes them unsuitable for
disposal with domestic waste. You may return
spent batteries/accumulators free of charge to
recycling centres or anywhere else batteries/
accumulators are sold.
By doing so, you contribute to the conservation
of our environment!
