The green charging light will turn on when a full charge is reached.•  Regardless of battery life, the red light will turn on for 20-30 minutes to check status. When battery is full, the light will turn green at some time after that.•  Fully charged batteries will operate properly throughout a full school day for a period of at least 1-2 years. If the batteries are older, they may need to be replaced.PROBLEM: No audio from a speaker pod when selected.SOLUTION: follow these steps to isolate and eliminate the problem.•  When the pod # button is selected on remote, ensure it turns green.-  If it does not turn green, this indicates the pod or other component is either not on or not properly registered.-  If the button turns red, this indicates the microphone is muted. Press the mute button on the remote.•  Ensure speaker pod is on and ready for use as indicated by a solid blue power light.-  Power the unit on by sliding the switch on the bottom of the pod.-  Try turning the speaker off, then on again and wait up to 30 seconds for it to properly link.•  Ensure the group speaker volume is set to a nominal level. If it is turned all the way down, there will be no audio.•  Ensure the Flexmike is on and ready for use as indicated by a steady blue status light (#1 or #2).-  If the microphone status light is blinking that indicates the Flexmike is not linked up to the Redcat Access. Ensure the Redcat is plugged in to power.-  If the microphone status light is red, that indicates the Flexmike is muted. Press the mute button on the remote or Flexmike to unmute.•  Ensure the proper teacher remote is being used.-    If there are 2 microphones with the Flexcat system, each Flexmike must be paired together with a specific remote, marked Teacher 1 or Teacher 2. -   Check microphone status indicator light (1 or 2) is on. Ensure you are using the corresponding remote, marked Teacher 1 or Teacher 2 on the serial number label on the back. Note: Many problems are directly related to low battery power. Please run through the “Battery Check” items first. For remaining troubleshooting, use known good, fully-charged batteries.TROUBLESHOOTING
301. Overview 2. Initial Set-up 3. DaiIy Operation 4. Additional Information5. Maintenance & Troubleshooting6. Safety & Specifications•  Ensure teacher remote is working properly.-  Press the center “Whole Class” button. It should be lighted green.-  If it doesn’t light, make sure the Redcat Access is plugged into power and the blue power light is on.-    Ensure there is a corresponding green 1 or 2 ready light on the Redcat Access.-  Ensure the batteries are fully charged. If the red battery low light is on, it can experience intermittent operation.PROBLEM: Remote does not light or activate a speaker pod(s).SOLUTION: •  Ensure the batteries have a charge. They should be charged nightly.-  If the red low battery light is on, it can experience intermittent operation.•  Try pressing the center “Whole Class” button. It should be lighted green. -  If this button lights, the remote has a battery charge and is properly linked up. The problem is likely with the pod or pods that do not activate, refer to the “No audio from speaker pod” troubleshooting section.-  If this button doesn’t light, make sure the Redcat Access is plugged into power.-  Check to see that there is a corresponding green 1 or 2 ready light on the Redcat Access.-  Check to see that the Flexmike is powered on and linked, as indicated by a solid blue light. If that light does not go solid blue, try powering the Flexmike and Redcat Access off, then on again.-  If the microphone still does not link up (turn solid blue), it may need to be re-registered to the Redcat Access. Please refer to the Flexcat registration guide on the Lightspeed website.-  If there is a second remote, check to see if that operates correctly.PROBLEM: Feedback or squealing from pod speakerSOLUTION: •  Make sure the teacher’s Flexmike is 2 feet or more away from the pod. Operation at very close distance can cause feedback.•  Try turning the volume down on the bottom of the pod. Typical volume levels should be around the mid-point (12:00 on the dial).•  Make sure the teacher’s Flexmike is 2 feet or more away from the pod. Operation at very close distance can cause feedback.•  Turn the volume on the Flexmike down 1-2 clicks.TROUBLESHOOTING CONT’D
311. Overview 2. Initial Set-up 3. DaiIy Operation 4. Additional Information5. Maintenance & Troubleshooting6. Safety & SpecificationsPROBLEM: Feedback or squealing from Redcat speakerSOLUTION: •  Make sure the teacher’s Flexmike is 2-3 feet or more away from the Redcat. Operation at very close distance can cause feedback.•  Make sure the nearest pod operating in student sharing mode is at least 6 feet away from the Redcat. Operation at very close distance can cause feedback.•  Mute the teacher’s Flexmike. If the feedback or squealing persists, the feedback is being caused by a pod that is in student sharing mode.-  If the feedback or squealing goes away, the feedback is being caused by that Flexmike, likely due to the volume level being too high. Press the volume down button on the Flexmike 1-2 clicks.-  If the feedback or squealing persists, the feedback is being caused by a pod that is in student sharing mode. Turn the “Microphone Volume” on the Redcat speaker down slightly. (NOTE: you may need to press the UP volume on the Flexmike up 1-2 clicks to compensate).PROBLEM: Cannot hear students in monitor modeSOLUTION: •  Ensure the desired pod is selected as indicated by a green or red light on the pod # button on the remote.•  Make sure the earbud volume is turn up loud enough to hear by pressing the Vol UP button on the remote (Vol button on left).•  Make sure the earbud is fully plugged into the headphone jack on the Flexmike.•  Select another pod to see if you are able to hear audio from that pod. If you hear audio, the issue is with one specific pod.•  Turn the power of the problematic pod off, wait several seconds, then on again. Let the pod link back up again as indicated by a solid blue light, then try selecting that pod again. PROBLEM: Student sharing volume is too loud or too quietSOLUTION: •  This is designed to work with a student speaking within about 18-24” of the pod microphone. If the volume is too quiet from a further distance, the student should move the pod closer.•  To adjust the student sharing volume, turn the “Microphone Volume” on the Redcat up or down. NOTE: this may cause you to adjust the volume on the Flexmike up or down to compensate. TROUBLESHOOTING CONT’D
