ALL PROBLEMS: Most Problems are related to low battery power.

SOLUTION: Battery Check

Confirm batteries are charged each night.

Confirm proper batteries are used. The REDMIKE requires the Lightspeed BA-NH2A27 rechargeable sensing battery for proper charging. The REDMIKE Share uses the BA-NH2APK rechargeable battery pack. The LT-71 requires two BA-NH1 AA rechargeable batteries.

Make sure the microphones are turned off while charging so a full charge is attained. Full charge will last eight hours.

Inspect the battery contacts. Clean and adjust if necessary.

PROBLEM: Hearing Static

SOLUTION: Follow these steps to eliminate static.

Ensure sensor is in optimum location (refer to sensor placement in manual). A single sensor will cover a 1600 sq. ft. enclosed classroom.

Ensure that no other REDMIKE/LT-

71/REDMIKE Share is operating on the same channel.

If the optional iR media connection is in use, set the microphone to Channel A.

PROBLEM: Low Volume or Feedback

SOLUTION: Follow these steps to eliminate 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.

Adjust the volume level on the back of the optional REDMIKE VC.

PROBLEM: No Sound From Speaker

SOLUTION: Follow these steps to produce sound from speakers.

Turn the CAT 860 on. Confirm that the POWER light located on the front panel switch is on.

Confirm signal is being received at the CAT 860. The IR signal light will be 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.
