Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new FrontRow Pro Digital active learning system!
Active learning systems engage students, improve attentiveness to the teacher, build
learning success, reduce the achievement gap, foster control and orderliness, improve
test scores, and reduce vocal strain and fatigue for teachers. Numerous studies show
that classrooms using active learning enjoy better student comprehension, increased
student participation, better grades and fewer behavioral referrals.
Read this manual carefully to become familiar with your system and to get the most
out of its many features and options.
Understanding Active Learning and its Benefits

Installation Notice
Your FrontRow Pro Digital active learning system is a precision wireless audio instrument designed to improve students’ ability to perceive the teacher’s voice. In fact,
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a medical device.
As such, we strongly recommend having your system set up by a professional
installer who is familiar with FrontRow active learning systems (contact your representative for referrals to installers in your area).
If you choose to install your FrontRow Pro Digital system yourself, take great care
to follow the instructions in the separate FrontRow Pro Digital Installer Guide
before using. Achieving the best performance from your system is only possible by
properly selecting and positioning all speakers and sensors. Improper installation
can result in poor performance.

Classroom Amplification Has Never Been This Smart
The FrontRow Pro Digital is built on the powerful Adapto platform. The Adapto
platform uses powerful digital processing to manage the sound reproduction
and command and control functions of the receiver. Just a few of the benefits
of the Adapto platform are:
Digital Signal Processing
Digital Signal Processing creates and extremely quiet system which allows for the purest and cleanest reproduction of voice and music.
•
OptiVoice:
OptiVoice technology takes speech clarity a step further, maximizing students’
ability to understand by emphasizing speech frequencies that are most critical to
comprehension; which is especially critical in noisier classrooms.
•
Automatic Feedback Suppression
The powerful Adapto platform uses digital processing to analyze the sound qual
ity hundreds of times a second, looking for signs of feedback. When feedback
is detected, it filters it out, allowing the teacher to have optimal volume settings
AND complete freedom of movement around the classroom
Intelligent Power Management
The FrontRow Pro Digital receiver uses less energy than a standard analog system and
also has a standby mode, which will automatically power-down the receiver when it
does not detect a microphone or audio input, thereby using much less energy over the
lifetime of the product.
•
“Set it and forget it” Standby Mode
Once the microphone volume is set to the optimal level, the only thing teachers
need to remember in the morning is to turn the microphone on. The receiver will
turn on automatically when you turn on and/or un-mute a microphone or you turn
on an audio source connected to the receiver.
•
ENERGY STAR compliant
The FrontRow Pro Digital has earned the ENERGY STAR®. By reduc-
ing energy consumption, the FrontRow Pro Digital is saving schools
money and helping to decrease the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases released into our environment.

Basic System Guidelines
To help ensure that you get the most from this system, follow these basic guidelines:
Microphones:
Proper pendant microphone placement will allow you to comfortably wear your
microphone all day and ensure the best sound quality.
Speak at a normal level when using your pendant microphone; the system is projecting your voice for you.
Use a student microphone (sold separately) to create a more dynamic learning
environment by amplifying a student’s voice when they are reading or presenting.
Do not use two microphones on the same channel. Your FrontRow Pro Digital
receiver is designed to accept audio from two microphones simultaneously, but they
must be on separate channels.
Receiver:
“Set it and forget it.” The system has a standby mode, so once the proper volume
is set for the classroom, the only thing you need to do in the morning is turn your microphone on. The system will “wake up” automatically and “go to sleep” automatically.
Feel free to move about the room. Proper installation and the Adapto platform will
ensure your voice will not “drop out” and you will not experience excessive feedback.
Enhance the audio of all your multimedia by connecting your computer, TV/DVD,
CD or MP3 player to the system.
Use OptiVoice to enhance speech intelligibility when the room is particularly noisy or
during critical tasks such test taking.
Use the Audio Out function to connect to a recording device such as a computer or
MP3 player to record your lessons. You can also connect a student’s personal FM system
to the receiver so you only have to wear the pendant microphone when speaking.
Batteries:
Install batteries in your equipment now, then charge overnight before initial use.
Charge microphone batteries every night. Our Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries last a minimum of 8 hours between charges, but should be charged every
night so they are ready to go in the morning.
Replace microphone rechargeable batteries after 12 months of use. Only use special “silver sleeve”, auto-sensing batteries supplied by your FrontRow representative.
Avoid battery corrosion. Remove batteries if your transmitter will not be used for
several weeks.
Alkaline batteries may be used if you forgot to charge your transmitter the night
before. NEVER attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. To ensure proper charging,
always be sure that only "silver sleeve", auto-sensing batteries are installed.

The FrontRow Pro Digital features
automatic feedback suppression. The
Adapto™ platform analyzes the sound

allowing the teacher to have optimal volume settings AND complete freedom of
movement around the classroom.
When the automatic feedback suppression is active, the Adapto light on
the front panel will turn green. It may
turn on and off throughout the day,
but that is OK; it just means that it is
working to optimize sound quality.
When adjusting the volume the goal
is speech clarity, not rock concert
power and volume. As a general rule,
you should barely hear your own voice
through the system when speaking.

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
1. Avoid Abuse to the Power Supply
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug
the power supply from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

DO NOT disassemble the power sup-
ply. Return the apparatus to Phonic

of electric shock or fire.
DO NOT expose the power supply to
rain, snow, water, gas, oil, etc.

if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way; return the apparatus to Phonic Ear
Front Row for qualified service
and repair.

2. Proper Use of the Power Supply
and Wiring
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. The
cord MUST be plugged into a grounded
outlet. Make sure it is properly wired, in
good electrical condition, and wire size
is large enough for AC ampere rating of
the power supply or charger as specified
below. AWG = American Wire Gauge.
To reduce risk of damage to plug and
cord when disconnecting the power
supply or charger, ALWAYS pull on plug
- NEVER on cord.
Locate cord so that it will not be
