1. DC POWER: Plug the power supply (24V/250mA) into this jack.

2. MIXED OUTPUT: This balanced output sends the audio from both microphones (CH. A and CH. B) to an input on an ampliﬁer.

3. CH B OUTPUT: This balanced output sends the audio from only the microphone set to CH. B to an input on an ampliﬁer.

4. CH A OUTPUT: This balanced output sends the audio from only the microphone set to CH. A to an input on an ampliﬁer.

5. SENSOR INPUT: The infrared microphone audio from the ISR is connected to this input via Cat 5 cable.

6. SENSOR SHORT: This LED glows red when there is a short in the ISR or cable. The system will not operate, but is protected from damage when the LED is lighted.

INFRARED SENSOR/RECEIVER (ISR) CONNECTIONS

1. POWER INDICATOR: This light will glow blue when the ISR is receiving power from the CAT 805iX.

2. A/B IR INDICATORS: These lights glow when the corresponding microphone (set to channel A or B) is turned on and transmitting. A steady light indicates a strong signal.

3. SENSOR OUT: Connect the Cat 5 sensor cable to this connection to

send audio from the microphones to the CAT 805iX preamp.

4. IR EXPANSION: Connect up to three passive IR sensors (IR-SR70F) to this connection for larger classrooms. For more than one additional sensor a 3-way coax splitter is required (HS3).

1. POWER BUTTON: Press this button to turn the REDMIKE ON, press again to turn it OFF (mute).

2. POWER/LOW BATTERY INDICATOR: A BLUE light

indicates the REDMIKE is on and fully charged. A RED light indicates a charge is needed.

3. BATTERY COMPARTMENT: To access the battery compartment, slide the door downward. The battery should only be replaced by a Lightspeed AA rechargeable sensing battery (part # BANH2A27).

4. YELLOW PROTECTIVE TAB: Slide the battery compartment door open to remove this disposable protective tab before use. NOTE: do not attempt to remove the tab without ﬁrst

opening the compartment door, as it may tear, leaving fragments.

5. AUDIO/MICROPHONE INPUT:

Use this input to plug in a laptop, MP3 player or other audio source to wirelessly transmit audio to be played through the system. Alternatively, an external microphone can be connected.

6. CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (CH A/B): This switch allows

for selection between Channel A or B. If you are using a single microphone, we recommend using Channel A.

7. CHARGER CONTACTS (+ -):

These contacts interface with the charging tabs in the BC-RMCC cradle charger for daily charging. Simply place the REDMIKE in the charger.

1. CHARGE INDICATORS: The light glows RED while the REDMIKE is charging. When fully charged, the light will glow GREEN. A blinking RED light indicates that no battery is sensed, (REDMIKE Yellow Protective Tab may not have been completely removed—see page 5, item 4.) A blinking Green LED means a non- Lightspeed battery has been installed (possibly an alkaline battery).

2. DC POWER PORT: Connect the DC power cord here.

3. OPTIONAL CHARGING PORT:

Plug the charging cord for the optional LT-71 or the REDMIKE Share microphones here.

First, ﬁnd a suitable location to set-up the CAT 805iX preamp. It is best to put the preamp in a stable location near the ampliﬁer to be used.

SET-UP & USE

1. LOCATION OF THE RECEIVER

Avoid Separated Set-ups

Ideally the preamp should be located very near the ampliﬁer being used. Avoid long distances when possible to minimize wire runs and installation hassle.
