Troubleshooting
No Sound
Check that the amplifier is turned ON and volume adjusted to an audible level. Check
that the amplifier batteries are correctly inserted, observing correct polarity, and that
the battery terminals are making firm contact inside the battery housing. Check that
the microphone is inserted into the MIC IN jack; speech amplification will be absent
if the mic is inserted into the AUX IN jack. Check or replace microphone.
Dead Batteries
Check that the amplifier batteries are properly inserted observing correct polarity,
and that the battery terminals are making firm contact inside the battery housing.
Check that the correct charging adapter (9v DC, 300mA) is connected to the amplifier.
Turn the VoiceOver device OFF during charging.
Weak Sound
Check and adjust volume setting. Adjust microphone position so that the tip of the
mic capsule is pointing directly towards the corner of your mouth. Check or replace
the microphone.
Noise or Distorted Speech
Adjust the microphone so it is not directly in the path of your breath (in front of your
mouth or nose); the mic tip should point directly at the corner of your lips. Check the
microphone for damage, in particular the integrity of the microphone cord and plug.
Clean microphone plug pin with an alcohol-based solvent to maintain noise-free con-
nection.
Distorted Audio Input
If music or other auxiliary input sounds distorted, check that the external source
is connected to the AUX IN jack and adjust volume; distortion will occur if music
sources such as iPods are connected to the MIC IN jack.
Feedback
Check and adjust the volume setting. Ensure that the microphone is positioned cor-
rectly and is close to the corner of your mouth. Avoid pointing the microphone di-
rectly at the speaker.
Intermittency
Check the microphone, mic cable and the plug connection into the MIC IN jack of
the device. Try a substitute microphone and replace the microphone if it is damaged.
