Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of a Revolabs digital wireless communication system! We are
pleased that you have chosen the Solo Executive Wireless Microphone System with 1.9 GHz
DECT technology. The Solo Executive provides high band-width audio from multiple wireless
microphones enabling reliable, un-tethered communications in audio and video conferences.

The Solo Executive Wireless Microphone System is a unique marriage of innovative technology
and ergonomic stylish design. This product enhances audio communication in many enterprise
and professional applications. The system uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) spread
spectrum technology. This technology allows the microphones to co-exist with other wireless
products such as wireless LANs (802.11B&G), as well as allowing digital encryption technology to
ensure secure communications.

System Components

Your Solo Executive System package contains a rackmountable Base Station, a Charger Base
and eight wireless microphones. The Base Station houses the processor and one end of the
wireless connection. It has two sets of diversity antennas and provides individual line-level audio
in and out for each microphone channel. This allows for additional post processing by external
multi-channel equipment. The Charger Base unit stores and charges the wireless microphones
when not in use. There are many features that this system provides that increase the productivity
of a conference call including consistent audio input from all participants, decreased room noise,
auto and manual mute, wireless encryption, re-synchronization and full duplex audio.

Solo Executive Charger Base

The Charger Base is used for storage and charging the microphone when not in use.
Microphones must be properly inserted into the base and seated flush for charging to occur.

1. System MUTE Switch — overrides individual Microphone
mute function.

2. LED indicator — power / mute status indicator.

3. Charger Bays — charges up to 8 Microphones.

4. Line Cord Receptacle — power supply input (on rear).

Power Module

The Charger Base requires 5VDC power. Plug the supplied AC adapter into an appropriate power
outlet 110-220 AC, 50-60Hz. The power LED on the Charger Base will illuminate.

System Mute Switch

There is a system MUTE button on the Charger Base. In normal operation the LED will be solid
GREEN (power on). In this mode, the microphone devices can individually mute themselves.
Pressing the system MUTE button will mute “all” wireless microphones in the system and the
Charger Base LED will turn RED. All microphones active in the system will also change to
flashing RED LED status indicating muted microphone audio. To un-mute all microphones, press
the system MUTE button again. The Charger Base LED will return to solid GREEN, and all
microphones will return to their previous state prior to the system mute.

Note: Pressing the MUTE button on a microphone while the system mute is active (solid RED
LED on Charger Base) will NOT un-mute the microphone.

Solo Personal Microphone Modules

The wireless personal microphone modules are synchronized to the rackmounted Base Station
and can be worn on the user’s shirt pocket, lapel or on a lanyard. They provide high quality full
duplex audio between each user and the conferencing phone/system. This system allows
attendees to step out of the conference room area and still participate in the call.

1. Mute Button — controls multiple microphone functions.

2. Charging Port — accepts the storage base battery charger.

3. LED Indicator — provides a visual status about wireless
module.

4. Earpiece Jack — accepts the 2.5mm plug for the earpiece.

5. Pocket Clip — attaches microphone to user.

Charging the Batteries

How to Charge

1. Place microphone(s) into the Executive Charger Base.

2. During charging, the LED indicator turns on (RED) and remains on until charging completes.

The microphones cannot be used while charging. The battery fully charges in approximately
two hours, and can be “quick-charged” to approximately 80% capacity in 45 minutes.

3. When charging completes, the LED turns off and microphone is ready for use.

Note: A fully charged module battery provides approximately 8 hours of talk time.

When to Charge

First-time use — before you can use the wireless microphones, charge the self-contained battery
for two hours in the Charger Base.

Recharging—when the orange light starts to flash on the microphone the battery needs
recharging. Over time (years), batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging times.
This is normal.

The Lithium Polymer rechargeable batteries that power the microphones are not user
serviceable. Please contact your AV service provider for replacement instructions and to assure
the proper disposal method is used.

Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

Using the Microphone

1. Remove the microphone from the Charger Base. The microphones turn on and mute
themselves automatically when removed from Charger Base, to reduce noise while being
attached to clothing.

2. The wireless microphone has a clip on the back which allows
the microphone to be easily clipped onto a shirt pocket,
blouse or lapel. The microphone can also be clipped on to a
lanyard and be worn around the neck. Attach the microphone
to clothing or to a lanyard, as close to the mouth as possible
(within 6 - 12 inches is recommended).

3. With the microphone in the wearing position, un-mute the
microphone by pressing and releasing the MUTE button
(confirm by viewing flashing GREEN LED).

4. To turn off microphones, return the microphone unit to the
Charger Base or press and hold the MUTE button for ~10
seconds until the LED turns solid RED and turns off.

5. If the microphones are moved out of range of the Base Station (~30 meters) the connection will
be dropped (LED flashes all colors) and the microphone will mute. When the microphone is
moved back into range the connection will automatically be re-established to its original state.
