Status messages

No Link

No transmitter connected.

• Check the transmitter radio link with the receiving channel. See Establishing a radio link.

Low Signal

The reception quality between the transmitter and receiver is poor (RF A or RF B below -85 dBm, LQI between 1 % and 19 %).

• Check the transmitter’s radio link to the receiving channel and switch to a different frequency if necessary. See Establishing a radio link.

• Check that the antennas are positioned correctly. See Connecting antennas or Recommendations for using antennas.

Low Battery

The transmitter’s batteries or rechargeable battery pack have little battery life remaining (less than 30 minutes).

• Replace the rechargeable battery or batteries.

Sync ok

The synchronization of the receiving channel with the transmitter was successful.

Sync Fail / No Frequency

The auto setup function cannot provide any more free frequencies for the transmitter frequency range.

Sync Fail / Frequency Rejected

The transmitter frequency range is incompatible with the frequency set in the receiving channel.

• Set a different frequency in the receiving channel. See Frequency menu item.

Sync Fail / Timeout

The synchronization of the receiving channel with the transmitter was unsuccessful. The infrared interface for the receiver may not have been able to establish a link to the infrared interface of the transmitter.

• Hold the transmitter in front of the infrared interface for the receiver correctly. See Synchronizing devices.

Sync Fail / Unsupported Encryption

AES 256 encryption is activated on the EM 6000 but the transmitter does not support it (SK(M) 9000).

• Use an SK 6000 or SKM 6000 if you want to activate encryption.

Encryption Error / Sync Needed

AES 256 encryption was activated on the EM 6000 but is not synchronized to the transmitter yet. The encryption cannot be activated on the transmitter. Instead, it must be transferred via the Sync function.

• Synchronize the receiving channel and the transmitter. See Synchronizing devices.

Clock Error

There is a deviation in the clock rate of the word clock (> 120 ppm for 48 kHz or > 120 ppm for 96 kHz) or there is no external word clock.

• Check the word clock settings. See Word clock scenarios for digital audio (AES3 and Dante®).

RF Peak

The RF signal is too strong (> -12 dBm). There is a risk of overloading the receiver.

• Increase the distance between the antennas and the receiver.

• Use passive antennas instead of active antennas if possible.

• If using active antennas, reduce the antenna amplification.

AF Peak

The audio level of the transmitter is too high (> -2 dBFS). The signal is at risk of overloading and becoming distorted.

• Check the audio level of the transmitter and adjust it. See the Gain menu item under Operating the menu of the SKM 6000 handheld transmitter, Operating the menu of the SK 6000 bodypack transmitter or Operating the menu of the SK 6212 bodypack transmitter.
