CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations on your purchase of the FP 100 Infrared Wireless

Microphone System! This simple, yet powerful technology adds the

benets of Classroom Audio to an existing amplier and speakers. This

system will seamlessly integrate into a sophisticated A/V control system.

With its small footprint, the FP 100 can mount in any discrete location—

whether it is an audio visual cabinet or below-ceiling tray.

The FP 100 is a compact, two-channel receiver that allows the use of up to

two wireless microphones simultaneously in the classroom. A standard IR

sensor provides high quality reception in rooms up to 1600 square feet. By

connecting additional infrared sensors to the receiver, the coverage area

can be expanded to provide optimal reception in varying room sizes and

congurations.

The LT-71 LightMic™ is a two-channel, rechargeable microphone that is

clipped to a lavaliere cord and worn around the neck for teacher use, or

it can be used as a standard handheld microphone for students to pass

around when speaking.
