    What does >-h< mean on my AKG WMS 470 Microphone system?
    • M
      Mrs. Ashley BrownSep 23, 2025
      The >-h< error message indicates that the transmitter cannot identify the battery as dry or rechargeable type. Remove the battery and reinsert it after approximately five seconds. This error can also mean that the transmitter was switched on during charging. Remove the transmitter from the charger, switch it off, and restart charging.

    What to do if my AKG WMS 470 Microphone system has distortion?
    • E
      ellisnicholasAug 26, 2025
      Distortion in your AKG Microphone system can stem from a couple of sources. First, check the GAIN control on the transmitter; it might be set too high or too low. Adjust it just enough to eliminate the distortion. Another potential cause is interference from other wireless systems, TVs, radios, CB radios, or defective electrical appliances. Try switching off these potential sources of interference or tune the transmitter and receiver to a different frequency. If problems persist, have your electrical installation checked.

    Why does my AKG WMS 470 have dropouts?
    • P
      Paul BrownAug 27, 2025
      Momentary sound loss, or dropouts, in your AKG Microphone system can often be attributed to antenna location. Try relocating the receiver or antennas. If dead spots persist, mark and avoid them during performance.

    What does >ChArGE< mean on my AKG Microphone system?
    • T
      Timothy DaySep 23, 2025
      The >ChArGE< error message (rechargeable battery only) indicates that the battery is not fully charged. Charge the transmitter using a CU 400 charger. If this doesn't solve the problem, replace the transmitter battery with a new dry or fully charged rechargeable battery.

    • J
      Javier MiddletonNov 22, 2025
      There could be several reasons for the lack of sound. Check the following: 1. Ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to both the receiver and the power outlet. 2. Verify that the receiver is switched ON. 3. Confirm the receiver is correctly connected to the mixer or amplifier. 4. Check that the microphone or instrument is connected securely to the body-pack transmitter. 5. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency. 6. Ensure the transmitter is switched ON and the mute switch is not activated. 7. Verify the batteries are correctly inserted in the transmitter, paying attention to the + and - marks. 8. Replace dead batteries in the transmitter. 9. Ensure that the transmitter is not too far from the receiver. 10. Remove any obstructions between the t...
