281. Overview 2. Initial Set-up 3. DaiIy Operation 4. Additional Information5. Maintenance & Troubleshooting6. Safety & SpecificationsTIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USEDetermining 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.• If using the LS Remote App, always leave the remote control on the charger to 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 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 classroom speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, but clear throughout the whole room. Typically 12:00 on the Access amplifier ‘Microphone Volume’ control is appropriate.CHARGING PODS #9-12Charging:• Connect the included charging cable(s) to any of the USB CHARGING OUTPUT 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.If your system was equipped with more than 8 pods, those additional pods will need to be charged using the provide USB cable from the back of the Activate Station.

Safety & SpecificationsTIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE CONT’DStudent group sharing• Press pod #, then rapidly press center button (or swipe pod to class icon on LS 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 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 (or swipe another group to the class using the LS Remote App).• 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 Access amplifier “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 classroom speaker, the nearest pod 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 (above barcode)• If you are using the LS Remote App with team-teaching, each teacher will need 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.

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 speaker pod 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 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 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.

Safety & SpecificationsPROBLEM: Feedback or squealing from classroom speakerSOLUTION: • Make sure the teacher’s Flexmike is 2-3 feet or more away from the speaker. 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 classroom speaker. 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 Access amplifier 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 Access amplifier up or down.
