TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

NOTE! Most problems are directly related to low battery power. Please run through the “Battery Check” items first. For remaining troubleshoot- ing, use known good, fully-charged batteries.

Battery Check

•Confirm batteries are charged each night.

•Confirm proper batteries are used. The REDMIKE requires the Lightspeed BA-NH2A27 sensing battery for proper charging.

•Make sure the REDMIKE is turned off while charging so that it will attain a full charge. Full charge will last seven hours.

•Inspect the battery contacts. Clean and adjust if necessary.

Hearing Static

•Ensure REDCAT is in optimum location (refer to REDCAT placement in manual). A single REDCAT will cover a 1200 sq. ft. enclosed classroom.

•Ensure that no other REDMIKE/LT71/ HM70 is operating on the

same channel.

•If an external microphone is in use, try another REDMIKE that is known to be working (if available) to isolate the problem. If static persists with “known good” microphone, the REDMIKE input jack will need service.

Low Volume or Feedback

•Ensure microphone is positioned appropriately, just below the collar bone.

•Check volume level on the amplifier.

If the volume is too high, feedback will occur. Adjust accordingly.

No Sound From Speaker

•Ensure the REDCAT is plugged in and is turned on. Confirm that the

POWER light located on the power switch is on.

•Confirm signal is being received at the REDCAT. The IR signal light will be lit (RED) indicating a signal is being received.

•Confirm that REDMIKE is turned on. There will be a BLUE LED on

the microphone to indicate it is powered on.

TIPS ON CLASSROOM AUDIO

1	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.

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

3	Turn off the REDMIKE 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.
4	Recharge batteries each night. When recharged nightly, operating
	time (actual usage) for the transmitters will last through a typical
	school day.

In today's educational landscape, effective communication within the classroom is critical to student engagement and learning. LightSpeed Technologies has developed a Classroom Audio System that addresses these challenges by enhancing the auditory experience for both students and teachers. This innovative system is designed to ensure that every word spoken by the teacher can be heard clearly, regardless of classroom size or layout.

One of the standout features of the LightSpeed Classroom Audio System is its use of advanced amplification technology. Teachers wear a lightweight, wireless microphone that captures their voice clearly while eliminating background noise. This helps to create an optimal sound environment where students can focus on the lesson without straining to hear. The system’s capability to adjust sound levels dynamically ensures consistency in audio delivery, making it easier for students to follow along.

Another significant aspect of LightSpeed's offering is its integrated sound distribution system. The classroom audio system employs strategically placed speakers that provide even sound coverage throughout the room. This eliminates the common problem of dead zones where students may struggle to hear, enhancing comprehension and participation. The speakers work harmoniously with the microphone to maintain clarity, ensuring that all audio—whether voice, multimedia, or other aids—is delivered with precision.

Moreover, the LightSpeed Classroom Audio System incorporates advanced wireless technology that allows for seamless connectivity. This feature enables teachers to move around freely within the classroom, fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment. The system can even integrate with existing classroom technology, such as smartboards and tablets, providing flexibility and ease of use.

Additionally, the system is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its intuitive controls allow teachers to adjust volume levels or switch between audio sources effortlessly. This simplicity empowers educators to focus on teaching rather than technical adjustments, fostering a more productive classroom atmosphere.

LightSpeed Technologies emphasizes durability and reliability in its products. The Classroom Audio System is built to withstand the rigors of daily classroom use, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. With robust support and training resources available, schools can confidently implement this technology, knowing they have the backing to maximize its benefits.

In conclusion, the LightSpeed Technologies Classroom Audio System revolutionizes the teaching and learning experience through its advanced amplification, sound distribution, wireless capabilities, and user-friendly design. By prioritizing audio clarity and accessibility, LightSpeed helps create an inclusive educational environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
