TIPS TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM AUDIO PERFORMANCE

•Speak in a natural voice. A normal conversational speech level will provide an adequate signal.

It is not necessary to increase the intensity of your voice—the audio system provides adequate amplification (approximately 5 – 10 dB) above ambient room noises.

•Avoid wearing jewelry that may rub or bump against the microphone.

•Turn the REDMIKE off during private conversations with a student, parent, or other classroom visitor. You can also cover the LED lens on top of the REDMIKE to block the signal.

•Recharge batteries each night.

When recharged nightly, operating time (actual usage) for the transmitters will last through a typical school day.
