the microphone on mute for over 5 minutes, it will turn o to save
battery life.
If there is no sound, make sure your amplier is on.
Adjusting Volume
Control the volume of your amplier and auxiliary devices using
the volume controls on your microphone.
Adjust volume with the arrow buttons. When the light indicates
OWN, you are adjusting the volume of your teacher microphone.
To adjust the volume of the student’s mic, tap SELECT until light
moves to OTHER, then use volume arrow buttons.
Selecting the LINE audio source will control the volume of audio
devices you have plugged into the back of the amplier, such as a
computer or DVD player.

Student Microphone Tips
• Speak directly into the top of the microphone,
not into the side.
• Microphone can be cleaned with standard
disinfecting wipes.
Your teacher and student microphones come with one
rechargeable Ni-MH AA battery each. Charge your microphones
every night and over the weekend. In a pinch, you can use a
regular alkaline AA battery to power the microphones.
You have an intelligent battery charger. It will not overcharge the
battery, nor will it accidentally try to charge a standard alkaline
battery.

Charging tip: hold microphone so the battery door is
facing you. Hold the charger plug so the arrow on it is
facing up. Carefully plug in the charger.

Tips & Tricks
• Use your Audio Enhancement system every day.
• Wear your microphone 4-6 inches below your chin.
• Charge your microphone nightly.
• Speak at a normal conversational volume.
• Don’t turn up the volume too high. If you can hear your voice, it’s too loud. Have another
adult in the room to help you set the volume.
The CHG indicator shows charging status:
• Charging: Solid Steady ON
• Finished Charging: OFF
• Charging Error: Flashes to indicate an alkaline battery

There are two methods of connecting a multimedia device such as a phone, tablet, MP3 player, or
computer to an Audio Enhancement system. They may be connected to an input on the back of the
amplier or to the AUDIO IN port of either the Teardrop or Handheld infrared (IR) microphone.
The Ultimate III uses both RCA audio line inputs (Line 1) and 3.5 mm audio line inputs (Lines 2 and 3).
The auxiliary input on the microphones uses a 3.5 mm input.

Connect one end of the cable to the AUDIO IN port on the
microphone or amplier and the other end to the headphone
output of the MP3 player or computer.

Obtain a standard audio cable that has a 3.5 mm stereo plug on
one end and two RCA male connectors on the other end.
Connect the two RCA male connectors to the back of the
amplier. Plug the white connector into the white port of Line 1,
and the red connector into the red port of Line 1.
Connect the 3.5 mm plug to your multimedia device. There will
be a corresponding knob on the front to control the volume
through the amplier/receiver. The arrows on the microphone
can also be used to control the volume when the microphone is
set to LINE.
