Charging: • Connect the included charging cable(s) to any of the USB CHARGINGOUTPUT ports on the back of Activate Station. • Connect the other end of the cable to the Micro USB port on the pod.• The red charge light on the Pod will light to indicate charging has begun.• When fully charged, the light will turn green.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 thestudents are sitting.• The microphone is designed to pick up students in a 360 degree radius, soit 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 befully 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 dayand place it back on the charger at the end of the day. • If using the LS Remote App, always leave the remote control on the chargerto ensure it maintains its link with the Access amplifier and iOS device. Determining proper volume levels • This system is not designed to make the teachers voice louder, but todistribute it appropriately so it is heard clearly by the selected group ofstudents or the whole class.• The pods are designed to be used independently, so turning the volume uptoo loud can result in bleed-over to another group.• Typical volume levels at a group speaker are about half of the maximumsetting – approximately 12:00 on the dial.• It should be loud enough that students in the desired group hear you asthough you were speaking directly to them at a distance of 3 feet.• The classroom speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, butclear throughout the whole room. Typically 12:00 on the Access amplifier‘Microphone Volume’ control is appropriate.6. Safety & Specifications 5. Maintenance & Troubleshooting 3. DaiIy Operation2. Initial Set-up1. Overview4.

TIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE CONT’D Student group sharing • Press pod #, then rapidly press center button (or swipe pod to class icon onLS Remote App). This allows one student group to address the whole class.Both the center and pod # buttons will light and a tone will sound in theearbud when connected (1-2 seconds).• To select another group to share with the class, simply press another pod #,followed quickly by the center button (or swipe another group to the classusing the LS Remote App).• For optimal voice pickup, students will likely need to lean in toward thegroup speaker to within about 24”.• Volume level is adjusted using the Access amplifier “Microphone Volume”control. Level is optimum at the center point, but can be adjusted asneeded. NOTE: if you turn that volume up or down, you will likely need toturn the volume on the Flexmike down or up to compensate.• To avoid feedback between the pod and classroom speaker, the nearestpod should be more than 6 feet away from the speaker.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 (abovebarcode) • If you are using the LS Remote App with team-teaching, each teacher willneed an iOS device paired with Remote #1 or #2 to match their microphone. - When paired, the LS Remote App will show M1 or M2 to indicate which microphone it is operating with. 6.

TROUBLESHOOTING 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. PROBLEM: low battery condition. SOLUTION: check the batteries and ensure proper charging. •Confirm batteries are properly charged each night. Full charging can take upto 10 hours. •When placing a component in a charger, ensure the red charging light turnson. 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 checkstatus. 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 fora 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 iseither not on or not properly registered. - If the button turns red, this indicates the microphone is muted. Press themute button on the remote. •Ensure speaker pod is on and ready for use as indicated by a solid blue powerlight. - 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 speaker pod volume is set to a nominal level. If it is turned all theway down, there will be no audio. •Ensure the Flexmike is on and ready for use as indicated by a steady bluestatus light (#1 or #2). - If the microphone status light is blinking, that indicates the Flexmike is not linked up to the Access amplifier. Ensure the amplifier is plugged in to power. - Ensure there is a corresponding green 1 or 2 ready light on the Access amplifier - 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 bepaired together with a specific remote, marked Teacher 1 or Teacher 2. - Check microphone status indicator light (1 or 2) is on. Ensure you are usingthe corresponding remote, marked Teacher 1 or Teacher 2 on the serial number label on the back. 6. Safety & Specifications 4. AdditionalInformation 3. DaiIy Operation2.
