The light on the Microphone is RED

If the LED on the Microphone is solid or flashing RED this indicates that the battery is low. Remove the handle cover and replace the AA batteries with the spare batteries (provided).

Avoid positioning/using the microphone in front of sound systems to minimise the opportunity for signal feedback.

I'm experiencing signal dropouts/issues

If you're experiencing signal interference, try each of the following steps:

  • Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to find a new frequency
  • Reposition the Receiver so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight to the Microphone (including the audience)

  • If possible, remove nearby sources of wireless interference, such as mobile phones, computers and other Wi-Fi devices.
  • Replace the Microphone AA batteries
