SOLUTION
• Check the power supply for proper
installation and connection.
• If batteries are installed, make sure the
polarity matches the battery compartment
drawing. If batteries are weak, insert 4
fresh "AA" alkaline or rechargeable Ni-Cad
batteries, matching the polarity diagram
in the compartment.
• Push the VOLUME UP (I) button to
increase base station volume.
• The receiving signal may be weak or out of
range, if this happens push the MONITOR
(MON) button.
• Press the FUNC button until the smaller
sub-channel digits flash on the LCD panel.
Push the CHANNEL UP (I) or DOWN (J)
button to change to the desired sub-channel,
then push the P-T-T button to save the
setting.
• Batteries may be weak. View the battery
power icon on the LCD panel while
transmitting, and if displaying low battery
power, insert 4 fresh "AA" alkaline or
rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries into the
unit, matching polarity.
• Best range is provided in open areas; using
the base station in buildings and other
structures may limit the range considerably.
• Transmit by speaking in a normal voice,
no more than 18 inches away from the
base station's microphone. If you are
receiving, lower the volume setting.
