Using the Wireless Microphone 

  1. Locate the microphone and power it ON with the power switch on top of the unit or under the front cover. The battery light will light up, as will the LCD screen on the face of the unit.  
  2. Use the clip to position the microphone on your clothing close to your mouth. 
  3. Test the microphone by speaking; adjust the microphone location as needed. 
  4. Use the clip to attach the belt pack of the microphone to your pants-waist.   
  5. Power-down the microphone when finished.  

 

Issue: No Power Light on Microphone 

  1. Be sure to power ON the unit. 
  2. If no power light appears, swap the battery on the unit. 
  3. Retrieve fresh batteries from the AV cabinet drawer or the teacher station. 
    • Call Classroom Technology Support at 419-372-9400 if there are no batteries. 
  4. To replace the battery in a Lavalier microphone:  
    1. New style: Open the face of the unit with the opposing buttons on each side. 
    2. Old style: Look for the battery hatch on the side of the unit. 

 

Issue: No Sound From Microphone 

  1. If the power light appears after powering ON the unit but there is no sound from the microphone, check to make sure microphone is not muted. 
  2. Another less-frequent issue occurs when the group/channel for the unit isn't synced with the receiver in the cabinet.
