EW-D Mute function

Updated

Mute

To mute/unmute your transmitter, your transmitter has a Mute toggle switch.  The switch is on the top if using a bodypack transmitter, and on the main body above the Sennheiser logo if using a handheld transmitter.  If the switch displays a yellow dot, you are on mute.
 
Mute status will also appear on your receiver window in the upper left, which appears as a speaker icon with a bar diagonally through it:
 

About Mute Lock: Both the receiver and Smart Assist app have Mute Lock functionality, to disable the mute switch as a way of being able to control inadvertently muting oneself.  You can find this in the receiver's main menu by pressing SET (Gain should flash on the right side), then use the arrow keys to find Mute Lock, and press SET again to open it.

Mute Lock can be overridden from the Smart Assist app and can also toggle mute status on and off.

Note:  you can inadvertently find your EW D in a muted status if you try to use two transmitters simultaneously with one receiver.  The EW D does not support simultaneously running transmitters to one receiver, and in this situation the first transmitter must be powered off before the second one is powered on and synced to the receiver.
