8. SETTING SYSTEM VOLUME LEVELS

To allow for maximum ﬂexibility the Flexmike, pods and Redcat Access speaker

all have independent volume controls. By default, all devices are set to the center

position, which is optimal in most cases.

To set the proper volume for your classroom, place the microphone around your

neck and take the following steps:

Flexmike Volume (Redcat Access and Pod speakers)

To adjust, use the up/down buttons on the

Flexmike.

1. Select an individual pod and begin speaking in

a normal voice.

2. The volume should be at a level that the kids

seated around the pod can clearly hear, but not

so loud that other nearby groups could hear.

3. Press the center button to turn on the Redcat

Access Speaker and speak in a normal voice.

4. The volume should be at a level that the kids

can clearly hear from the other side of the

room. You should just barely be able to hear

your own voice.

Volume

up/down

NOTE: at proper volume levels, there should not be any “feedback” or

squealing from the speaker outside of 2-3 feet. If there is, turn the Flexmike

volume down slightly.

Pod Sharing Volume

To adjust, use the Microphone Volume control on the Redcat Access.

5. Rapid press the pod #1 button followed by the center button to activate the

pod #1 sharing function (the center and #1 button should both be lighted).

6. With the teacher’s Flexmike muted, begin speaking into pod #1 from a

distance of 18-24”.

7. The volume should be at a level that the kids can clearly hear from the other

side of the room. You should just barely be able to hear your own voice (it

helps to have another person in the room to verify).

8. Adjust the volume on the Redcat Access up/down slightly as needed.

NOTE: check the pod sharing volume level at the pod nearest the Redcat

Access to verify there is no “feedback” or squealing from the speaker. If

there is, turn the volume down slightly.

TIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE

Determining optimum placement of the pods

• Pods should be placed in the approximate center of the group

• They can be placed on the center of a table or on the ﬂoor where the

students are sitting.

• The microphone is designed to pick up students in a 360 degree radius, so

it also operates best when in the middle of a group.

Managing equipment and charging

• Leave all components in the on position.

- When you place them on the charger, they will charge as normal.

- When you remove them from the charger to start the day, they will be

fully charged and ready for operation.

• Assign students to manage the charging of the group speakers.

- Have one assigned student remove it from the charger to start the day

and place it back on the charger at the end of the day.

Determining proper volume levels

• This system is not designed to make the teachers voice louder, but to

distribute it appropriately so it is heard clearly by the selected group of

students or the whole class.

• The pods are designed to be used independently, so turning the volume up

too loud can result in bleed-over to another group.

• Typical volume levels at a group speaker are about half of the maximum

setting – approximately 12:00 on the dial.

• It should be loud enough that students in the desired group hear you as

though you were speaking directly to them at a distance of 3 feet.

• The Redcat Access speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, but

clear throughout the whole room. Typically 12:00 on the Redcat Access

‘Microphone Volume’ control is appropriate.

Student group sharing

• Press #1-6, then center button (rapid press). This allows one student group

to address the whole class. Both the center and pod # buttons will light and

a tone will sound in the earbud when connected (1-2 seconds).

• To select another group to share with the class, simply press another pod #,

followed quickly by the center button.

• For optimal voice pickup, students will likely need to lean in toward the

group speaker to within about 24”.

• Volume level is adjusted using the Redcat Access “Microphone Volume”

control. Level is optimum at the center point, but can be adjusted as

needed. NOTE: if you turn that volume up or down, you will likely need to

turn the volume on the Flexmike down or up to compensate.

• To avoid feedback between the pod and Redcat Access speaker, the nearest

pod should be more than 6 feet away from the Redcat Access.

If your system is equipped with team-teaching

• Make sure to use the corresponding Flexmike and remote for microphone 1

and 2, indicated as follows:

- Flexmike: microphone 1 or 2 light is on

- Remote: microphone 1 or 2 sticker on the back of remote (above

barcode)

USING OPTIONAL PODS #5-6

1. Operation

• If speakers #5-6 are purchased

together with the original

system, they will already be

paired together and operate just

as speakers #1-4 do.

• To select the speakers, simply

press the #5-6 buttons on the

remote. (See Section 3 for daily

operation instructions).

• If the speakers were purchased

at a separate time from the rest

of the system, they will need to

be linked to the Redcat speaker.

Please follow the website link

on the card provided with the

additional pods.

2. Charging

• Pods #5-6 charge via cables

connected to the base station.

• Connect the included charging

cable(s) to the CHARGING

OUTPUT jack(s) on the base

station.

• Connect the other end of the

jack to the CHARGE input jack

on the pod.

• The charging light on the

pod will turn RED to indicate

charging. It will turn GREEN to

indicate the unit is fully charged.

Flexcat can to operate with up to 6 speaker pods. The additional pods can be

purchased together with the main system or can be added later.

PROBLEM: low battery condition.

SOLUTION: check the batteries and ensure proper charging.

• Conﬁrm batteries are properly charged each night. Full charging can take up

to 10 hours.

• When placing a component in a charger, ensure the red charging light turns

on. 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.

• 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 speaker

SOLUTION:

• 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.

PROBLEM: Feedback or squealing from Redcat speaker

SOLUTION:

• 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 mode

SOLUTION:

• 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 quiet

SOLUTION:

• 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.
