What to do if my Sennheiser EK 500 G2 has RF signal but no audio and shows 'MUTE'?

  If your Sennheiser receiver shows an RF signal but no audio, and the display shows 'MUTE', it could be due to several reasons: * The transmitter might be muted. Deactivate the muting function. * The receiver’s squelch threshold might be adjusted too high. * The transmitter might not be transmitting a pilot tone. Switch the pilot tone transmission on the transmitter on or switch the pilot tone evaluation on the receiver off.

  If the Sennheiser Receiver shows a 'MUTE' display and you're not getting any audio despite having an RF signal, the transmitter might be muted. Try deactivating the muting function on the transmitter. Alternatively, the receiver's squelch threshold might be set too high, or the transmitter may not be sending a pilot tone. In this case, switch the pilot tone transmission on or switch the pilot tone evaluation on the receiver off.

  If there is no RF signal, it might be because the receiver and transmitter are not on the same channel. Ensure that both are set to the same channel. Alternatively, the transmitter may be out of range. In this case, check the squelch threshold setting or reduce the distance between the transmitter and the receiving antenna.
