Frequently asked questions

Answer
The specified range is only valid outdoors in open air. Inside
your house the workable range is limited by the amount and
type of walls and/or ceilings in between. Inside the house the
operating range will be up to 50 meters / 150 feet.
You are probably approaching the outer limits of the practical
range.Try a different location or decrease the distance
between the units slightly. Please note that it takes about 30
seconds each time before a new link between the units is
established.
When batteries are installed in the both units, the units will
automatically switch over to battery use in case of mains
failure.
The 120 channels guarantee no interference from other
equipment.
Troubleshooting
Solution
Set microphone sensitivity to a
lower level.
Select a lower/higher minimum/
maximum temperature.
Set volume to a lower level (A-4).
