troubleshooting
No Sound
Batteries NOT charging
• verify the mute switch on the top of the unit
is in the off (up) position.
• verify only Phonic Ear NiMH batteries are
being charged. 340T unit will not charge disposable alkaline or other rechargeable batteries.
• verify the transmitter is operating on the
same FM channel as the receiver
• verify the transmitter power is on
• check battery polarity markings to verify
batteries are oriented properly
• verify the microphone cord is inserted
properly into the mic jack
• verify the power switch is in the off(chg)
position
• if using the aux jack on the transmitter for
external sound, verify the AT0529A antenna
is plugged into the mic jack. If using a
microphone cord as an antenna, make sure it
is not coiled.
• verify the charging cord is plugged in to the
chg port and NOT the aux port
• verify an approved PE microphone is being
used (AT0655, AT0814, AT0816, AT0291L, AT0164-L, AT0669-L or AT0668-L)

• verify the wall transformer is plugged into an
operational electrical outlet
troubleshooting (cont’d)
340T won't turn on
• verify NiMH batteries are inserted properly and
fully charged
• verify AAA alkaline batteries are inserted
properly
• check battery polarity markings to verify
batteries are oriented properly
Acoustic feedback (high-pitched
squeal)
• make sure the user microphone is not too
close to external speakers in the room
• lower the FM volume/gain control on the
LEXIS, 230R or other receiver
• turn OPTIVOICE to medium, or low position
• have a sound professional adjust 3-band
equalizer controls on the receiver, confirm
they are not set to a high frequency setting
Static
• confirm microphone cord is not coiled
• verify approved PE microphones are being
used (AT0655, AT0814, AT0816, AT0291-L,
AT0614-L, AT0669-L or AT0668-L)
• make sure an omni-directional mic is not
being used. Omni-directional mics should
not be used with the 340T.
