ake sure the FM receiver is ON. Make sure the batteries are properly installed (observing proper

polarity). If the batteries are rechargeable, it may be necessary to charge the batteries overnight.

þ Make sure the FM receiver is operating on the same frequency as the T35. Make sure the receiver is

operating on the same bandwidth as the T35: Wideband or Narrowband. Follow tuning instruction for

the receiver and adjust accordingly.

INSUFFICIENT RANGE, GOOD RECEPTION NEAR TRANSMITTER, POOR AT A DISTANCE

þ Check to see if the transmitting antenna was installed incorrectly. If so, correct or replace the antenna.

The signal should be clearly audible up to 1000 foot distance with the ANT 005 or ANT 025.

þ Make sure the transmitting antenna is not in an unsuitable location. Perhaps the transmitting antenna was

installed inside a metal enclosure or is separated from the reception area by electrically conducting

objects. (i.e., steel stud walls, heating ducts, substantial structural steel, or 2x2 or 2x4 ceiling grid.) In

either case, reinstall the antenna according to installation instructions, locating it outside metal enclo-

sures and away from electrically conducting objects.

þ Perhaps there is a strong interfering signal. If so, make sure the transmitter and antenna are correctly

installed. Set the transmitter to FULL power output. If this does not solve the problem, try operating the

transmitter on a different frequency. If operating the T35 in wideband mode, try switching to narrow

band operation (see page 14). Narrowband operation is more resistant to outside interference.

USERS MUST TURN RECEIVER VOLUME CONTROLS WAY UP (TO 4 OR 5) TO GET ENOUGH VOLUME

þ Perhaps there is insufficient audio level. If so, the audio level indicator will read too low because the

audio level control is set incorrectly on the transmitter. Correct the Audio Level control setting. See

page 10.

þ It could be that the audio input is not configured for the audio source being used. If not, correct the setting

of the Audio Source control menu. See page 15.

þ Some users may not be helped by this system. Severe hearing loss may require using the system with a

telecoil coupler (i.e., Neckloop) and personal hearing aid.

Check your batteries. For non-rechargeable (alkaline) batteries, they may need replaced. If you are using

rechargeable batteries, make sure the batteries are fully charged prior to use.

USERS COMPLAIN OF TOO MUCH NOISE DURING SOFT AUDIO. DYNAMIC RANGE OF MUSIC REDUCED TOO GREATLY.

Check to see if the

Audio Level control is set too high.

This problem is more likely to occur in Normal

Compression mode, but can also occur in Reduced Compression mode. To reduce this noise, adjust

the

Audio Level, carefully noting the Level Indicator

The +6 LED should light occasionally

Perhaps the transmitter is set for Normal Compression when Reduced Compression would be more suitable,

given the program material. If so, set the Compressor Gain control to Reduced Compression. See page 17.
