| Q | What is the difference between the LR-300 and the LR-400? | |
| A | The LR-400 is more "user friendly" because it has the LCD Display, which will show the channel selection, battery life and signal strength. The LR-400 also has an adjustable squelch setting. | |
| Q | Can I use the LR-300 with the LT-700? | |
| A | We DO NOT recommend using the LR-300 with the LT-700 Portable RF Display Transmitter. The LR-300 was designed to be used with the LT-800 Stationary RF Transmitter only. | |
| Q | What is the function of SQ? | |
| A | To reduce noise of the systems, Listen offers a noise reduction technology called ListenSQ™. Both the transmitter and receiver must have SQ on to achieve the desired results. If you are planning to use this product with older Listen systems or equipment not manufactured by Listen, you should disable SQ. | |
| Q | What is squelching? | |
| A | The purpose of squelch is to mute the audio output of your receiver when the signal from the transmitter is turned off or is too weak to be received. Without squelch you would hear radio noise in your earphone. The squelch function is preset and cannot be changed on the LR-300. | |
| Q | Does this receiver sound as good as your other receivers, which are more expensive? | |
| A | Yes, all Listen receivers have the same superior audio quality (20 dB less hiss than any other competitor). | |
| Q | How do I SEEK for a new channel? | |
| A | If you hold down SEEK momentarily, the receiver will search for the nearest channel in use. | |
| Q | How do I lock the SEEK function? | |
| A | Holding SEEK for longer than 4 seconds will lock the receiver on the current channel. When SEEK has been locked, the SEEK function is no longer useable until the same process is achieved to unlock the unit. The LED on the top of the device will blink if the unit is locked and requested to SEEK another channel. | |
| Q | How many receivers can I have in a system? | |
| A | As many as you need, the number is endless. | |
