Cause and solution:
When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace
if necessary.
Check that the speaker “tuned” indicator light is illuminated blue.
Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the
operating frequency. The speaker will detect the loss of signal and
retune automatically. However, you can also press the power/volume/scan
control once to make the speaker retune.
Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high and away from
obstructions as possible. Avoid placing the transmitter directly on top of or
behind a TV.
Move the transmitter and speakers closer together. Sending the signal
through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the
effective transmitting distance of the system.
