I’m not sure if my microphone battery is working properly. What should I do?
Check that the battery is charged. Substitute a known good battery pack and see if it charges in the microphone.
If the battery does not charge, it may be time to replace it. Typical battery life is 1-2 years.
What do I do if my system doesn’t have power?
Check that the power light is on. If not, ensure that all the power connections are secure.
If all connections are secure, determine if the outlet is working or test with a known working power supply.
How do I avoid feedback with my system?
Check the volume setting of the microphone. If the volume is too high, feedback will occur. Adjust accordingly.
Check the volume level of the audio source. Decrease volume on the audio source as needed.
Check that the tone is set to the mid-point. Set the tone indicator to the mid position and then adjust as needed to eliminate feedback.
Ensure the amplifier isn’t turned up too high.
