1. Overview

 

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 # BA- NH2A27).

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 10, 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.
