1. CH. A VOLUME: sets the nominal volume level of the teacher microphone (transmitter switched to CH A). Rotating the adjustment knob clockwise increases the output level.

2. CH. B VOLUME: sets the nominal

volume level of the optional second microphone (transmitter switched to CH B). Rotating the adjustment knob clockwise increases the output level.

3. IR INDICATORS (IR): These lights

will glow red when the corresponding transmitter is turned on and being received. This light conﬁrms the FP 100 is receiving a steady infrared signal.

4. AF INDICATORS (IR): These lights

ﬂash green when audio (voice) from the microphone is detected.

5. DC POWER INPUT: Plug the 24V

power supply into this jack.

6. CH. A AUDIO OUTPUT: This

balanced audio output can be connected to the mic or line input on a mixer/ampliﬁer to amplify the audio signal from the CH. A transmitter.

7. CH. B / MIXED AUDIO OUTPUT:

This balanced audio output sends the audio from the microphone set to CH. B. Both CH. A and CH. B transmitters (depending on the position of the B/MIX switch) are ouput to a mic or line input on a mixer/ampliﬁer.

8. B/MIX SWITCH: This switch

determines the audio source that is output through the CH.B/MIXED Audio Output jack. When the switch is set to ‘MIX’ (default), both the CH. A and CH. B signal are output through this jack.

Before running wires to the FP100 or plugging in, ﬁnd a suitable, stable location for the ampliﬁer. Ideally, the teacher should have ready access and an electrical outlet should be within six feet. The best possible location for the FP100 is in a media cabinet with any existing audio/video equipment.

2. IR SENSOR INSTALLATION CONT’D

1. Lift the ceiling tile nearest the grid rail in

your desired sensor location. Guide one side of the C-clip over one edge of the grid rail. Providing ﬁrm support to the back of the grid rail with one hand (to prevent bending), ﬁrmly and carefully snap the second side of the C-clip over the edge of the rail.

2. Uncoil sensor wire. Connect one

end of the sensor cable to the plug on the sensor. Secure wire overhead and route it back to the system.

3. Connect the other end of the sensor

cable into one of the sensor inputs on the back of the system.

1. Screw the plastic mounting strip to a place

high on the wall or in the middle of the solid ceiling. Mount the strip horizontally as shown above.

2. Firmly snap the C-clip on the back of the

IR sensor onto the plastic mounting strip with the sensor plug hanging down (if a wall mount) or toward the receiver location (if ceiling mount).

3. Uncoil the sensor wire. Screw one end

of the sensor cable to the plug on the sensor. Route the wire back to the system, securing it along the way.

4. Connect the other end of the sensor cable

to one of the sensor inputs on the back of the system.

4. CHARGING THE REDMIKE VC

Before use, the REDMIKE VC should be charged. It will take 8-9 hours for the REDMIKE VC to obtain a full charge. A fully charged REDMIKE VC will last for over 7 hours of use. If microphones are used daily, they should be kept in the cradle – microphones can be left in a charging cradle constantly for up to 2 weeks without causing degradation to battery life.

A red light on the charging cradle indicates the REDMIKE VC is charging. A green light indicates that charging is complete and a full charge has been reached. A blinking light indicates a charging or sensing error. See Troublshooting section for more information.

REDMIKE VC incorporates alkaline protection into the microphone design. Always use a Lightspeed rechargeable sensing battery. Replacement AA NiMH batteries may only be purchased through Lightspeed Technologies (part # NH2A27). Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries. They can overheat and expand creating a signiﬁcant hazard and damaging the microphone (this is not covered by warranty).

1. Plug power cord into the cradle charger and then plug the AC end into an electrical outlet.

2. Place the REDMIKE VC into the cradle. The LED on the cradle will glow red indicating charging has started. When the REDMIKE VC is fully charged the LED on the cradle charger will change to green.

5. OPERATING THE REDMIKE VC

Once the REDMIKE VC is charged, follow these steps to set it up for use.

1. Turn the FP100 power on. The blue LED will glow.

2. Turn on the REDMIKE VC. The red IR LED on the FP 100 will light to indicate a signal is being received.

3. Slip the REDMIKE VC with lanyard around the neck and position the top of the microphone just below the collarbone. NOTE: Positioning of the REDMIKE VC is critical for proper volume adjustment.

4. While speaking in a normal voice, increase the A VOLUME level until your own voice is barely audible.

REMEMBER: this equipment is designed to supplement and distribute the teacher’s voice so he or she is able to speak at a normal, conversational tone. Having the volume set too high will result in feedback and listener fatigue.

Note: The REDMIKE VC has 9 volume levels. 4 up, 4 down and a middle position. Be sure to start in the middle position.

5. If a second REDMIKE VC was purchased, repeat steps 2-4. NOTE: Each REDMIKE VC has its Channel pre-set to either A or B. No further adjustment is necessary.

6. Once the normal level is set on the FP100, the user can now use the REDMIKE VC volume controls to adjust the microphone volume up or down during normal classroom operation.

USING THE REDMIKE VC TO AMPLIFY EXTERNAL AUDIO EQUIPMENT

The REDMIKE VC includes a 3.5mm audio input jack to connect to an audio source like a laptop or MP3 player. The REDMIKE VC will transmit the audio signal to be played through the system.

If your system includes two REDMIKE VCs, use the student microphone (already set to Channel B). NOTE: This feature works on both channels but we recommend using Channel B so the teacher’s volume on the CH A does not have to be adjusted.

The optional LT71 can also amplify external audio. Simply plug the 3.5mm patch cable from the audio source into the input labeled “AUX IN” and adjust the volume of the source to the desired sound level.

1. Plug your external audio equipment (for example, laptop), into the input on the REDMIKE VC labeled “INPUT” using a 3.5mm patch cable.

2. Adjust the volume of the selected mic channel to achieve desired loudness.

INITIAL SET-UP: OPTIONAL IR MEDIA CONNECTOR

1. The iR Media Connector uses the same channel (channel B) as the optional second microphone (REDMIKE, LT71, or RMS). As a result, they cannot be used simultaneously. If you have a second microphone, turn it off before transmitting audio from the iRMC.

2. The iR Media Connector volume is preset for most standard audio signals. If you need to turn the volume up or down, follow this procedure:

3. Adjust the volume at the computer, television, or other audio source if possible.

4. If the audio source does not have a volume control (such as many DVD players) adjust the volume at the iRMC.

5. If the ﬁrst two options do not give optimum volume level, the last place to adjust the volume is the CH. B Volume on the FP 100.

NOTE: If you adjust the CH B volume on the classroom audio system, you will also be changing the volume for your second microphone. Return the CH B volume knob to the original position before turning the second microphone back on.
