5 speech/music
The speech setting amplifies frequencies
in the 160Hz to 6kHz speech bandwidth, and can be further customized
using the bass cut options. The bandwidth for the music mode is expanded
to10kHz for a wider frequency response
and fuller sound.
6 line/mic
Press to select line or mic input (see 4b
on page 10).
7 bass cut
Listeners with high-frequency hearing
loss need high frequency emphasis and
low frequency de-emphasis. Press this
key to select 80Hz, 160Hz, or 320Hz
output levels for these individuals. Also
helps eliminate low frequency noise and
60 cycle electrical hum.

Press the Channel key to select from 10
wide-band channels or 40 narrow-band
channels. (Press the Function key follo w ed

hang the antenna from a railing
or metal superstructure (such as
in a stadium).
! warning
The antenna is an electrical
conductor. Contact with
power lines can result in
death or serious injury. Do
not install the antenna, supporting mast, or tower where
there is any possibility of contact with a high-voltage arc
from power cables or service
drops. Outdoor antennas
should be grounded against
lightning strikes. Consult the
National Electrical Code for
further details.

troubleshooting
no sound
• If using the 500R, verify the receiver is tuned correctly (see user instructions section 8b )
• If using the 506R, verify the channel selected on the receiver matches the channel selected on
the transmitter (see user instructions section 8c )
• If using 500R, check if the receiver power indicator light is on; if unlit, or flashing, replace or
recharge receiver batteries.
• Check if the transmitter is on (the front panel display window should be lighted).
• Verify the wall transformer is plugged into the transmitter and into a working wall outlet.
flashing light on receiver
• Replace or recharge batteries
sound too low/poor quality sound
• Check the transmitter line level indicators located in the display window. 2-3 bars should peak
with the audio signal. If no bars or only one bar appears, increase the volume on the sound
system and, if necessary, on the transmitter level control. Connect the sound system to the
1
/4in input on the transmitter for maximum output levels. Change to higher level output
connection on the sound system.
RF fault indicator is lighted
• Confirm that the antenna is connected properly to the transmitter. Relocate the antenna away from
any metal structures, power cords, or electronic equipment (see user instructions section 2b ).
intermittent audio
• Replace the receiver listening accessory.
• Check the RF fault indicator on the transmitter front panel and follow above instructions if lighted.
• The receiver may be out of range; for areas greater than 100m/300ft use a large area antenna.
overload indicator is lighted
• Confirm that the mic/line setting on the transmitter front panel is correct.
• Reduce the output level on the sound system.
• Connect the sound system to the XLR or speaker level inputs located on the back of the transmitter to reduce level.
• Change to lower output connection on the sound system.
low frequency hum
• Adjust the transmitter front panel bass cut settings to 160Hz or 320Hz
• Relocate the antenna away from electronic equipment, (see user instructions section 2b ).
batteries won’t recharge
• Verify that the wall transformer is plugged into the charger.
• Try different charge cords.
• Verify the receiver indicator light is brighter when the unit is plugged into charger.
• Check the receiver is turned off before charging.
• Check the receiver batteries are Nicad rechargeable.
