FCC and Industry Canada Statements
The 221R complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 2.4dB.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry of Canada
technical specifications were met.
This transmitter has been testd to comply with FCC regulations using only antennas and accessories supplied by Phonic Ear. Use of any other antennas or any changes or modifications to this
equipment not expressly approved by Phonic Ear could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Low Power Radio Service (47 C.F.R. Part 95) and
must not cause harmful interference to TV reception or United States Navy SPASUR installations.
You do not need an FCC license to operate this transmitter. This transmitter may only be used to
provide: auditory assistance to persons with disabilities, persons who require language translation,
or persons in educational settings; health care services to the ill; law enforcement tracking services
under agreement with a law enforcement agency; or automated maritime telecommunications
system (AMTS) network control communications. Two way voice communications and all other
types of uses not mentioned above are expressly prohibited.
This device may not interfere with TV reception or Federal Government radar.
Caution: Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Phonic Ear
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

troubleshooting
no sound
• Verify the channel selected on the receiver matches the channel selected on the transmitter
(see user instructions section 8c )
• Check if the receiver power indicator light is on; if unlit, or flashing, replace or recharge receiver
batteries.
• Check if the transmitter is on (the front panel display window should be lighted).
• Verify the wall transformer is plugged into the transmitter and into a working wall outlet.
flashing light on receiver
• Replace or recharge batteries
sound too low/poor quality sound
• Check the transmitter line level indicators located in the display window. 2-3 bars should peak
with the audio signal. If no bars or only one bar appears, increase the volume on the sound
system and, if necessary, on the transmitter level control. Connect the sound system to the
/4 in input on the transmitter for maximum output levels. Change to higher level output
connection on the sound system.
RF fault indicator is lighted
• Confirm that the antenna is connected properly to the transmitter. Relocate the antenna away from
any metal structures, power cords, or electronic equipment (see user instructions section 2b ).
intermittent audio
• Replace the receiver listening accessory.
• Check the RF fault indicator on the transmitter front panel and follow above instructions if lighted.
• The receiver may be out of range; for areas greater than 100m/300ft use a large area antenna.
overload indicator is lighted
• Confirm that the mic/line setting on the transmitter front panel is correct.
• Reduce the output level on the sound system.
• Connect the sound system to the XLR or speaker level inputs located on the back of the transmitter to reduce level.
• Change to lower output connection on the sound system.
low frequency hum
• Adjust the transmitter front panel bass cut settings to 160Hz or 320Hz
• Relocate the antenna away from electronic equipment, (see user instructions section 2b ).
batteries won’t recharge
• Verify that the wall transformer is plugged into the charger.
• Try different charge cords.
• Verify the receiver indicator light is brighter when the unit is plugged into charger.
• Check the receiver is turned off before charging.
• Check the receiver batteries are Nicad rechargeable.
