The best place is centered on the long wall opposite the teacher. If this is not possible, other good locations are on the wall next to the teacher. Avoid placing the Redcat Access on any wall close to where the teacher usually stands to instruct the class.

Use a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm patch cable (part # MSC3535, not included) to connect a computer, iPod, iPad, or other audio source.2. AUDIO INTEGRATIONThe next step in setting up your Redcat Access system is to connect it to the other elements of your audio system. Audio systems have varying elements – you may have a computer, television, DVD/VCR player, a visual projection system or other devices. In this section you will find instructions on how to connect an external audio device like a TV, VCR, DVD, MP3 or computer directly into the Redcat Access.REGISTERAUDIO INMINMAXAUDIO(ALD) OUTMINMAXON/OFFDC INPUT16V/2.0A
151. Overview 2. Setup & Use 3. Optional  Accessories 4. Troubleshooting 5. Warranty, Safety  & Specifications4. CHARGING THE FLEXMIKEBefore use, the Flexmike should be charged. It will take 8-9 hours for the Flexmike to obtain a full charge. A fully charged Flexmike will last for up to 8 hours of use. If microphones are used daily, they should be charged each night – microphones can be left charging constantly for up to 2 weeks without causing degradation to battery life. When plugged into a charger, a red light on the Flexmike indicates the battery pack is charging. A green light indicates that charging is complete and a full charge has been reached. See Troubleshooting section for more information.Replacement NiMH battery packs may only be purchased through Lightspeed Technologies (part # NH2.4V). Do not attempt to charge with other battery packs. They can overheat and expand creating a significant hazard and damaging the microphone (this is not covered by warranty).5.  Insert the lanyard into the clip on the back of the Flexmike as shown.1     21.   Plug wall charger into an electrical outlet.2.  Plug the USB charging cable(s)  into the wall charger.3.  Plug the micro USB end of the charging cable into USB port on the bottom of the Flexmike. 4.  When the Flexmike is fully charged, the LED on the mic will change to green.ip as

OPERATING THE FLEXMIKEOnce the Flexmike is charged, follow these steps to set it up for use.1.  Remove the Flexmike from the charging cable and put it on by connecting the magnetic clasps behing your neck. The Flexmike will automatically power on and mute when it is removed from the charger. This will automatically power on the Redcat Access as well.2.  The microphone volume on the Flexmike is set at the factory to the mid point. 3. While speaking in a normal voice, fine-tune the volume up or down. Proper volume level should be as follows:UÊ 9ÕÀÊÛViÊÃÕ`ÊLiÊVi>ÀÞÊheard by another person on the other side of the room.UÊ 9ÕÊÃÕ`ÊL>ÀiÞÊLiÊ>LiÊÌÊhear your own voice.UÊ /iÀiÊÃÕ`ÊÌÊLiÊ>ÞÊ>Õ`Ê“feedback” or squealing outside of 2-3 feet (if there is, turn the volume down slightly).REMEMBER: This equipment supplements the user’s voice so they are able to speak in a conversational tone. Having the volume set too high will result in feedback and listener fatigue.4. Once initial volume level is set, walk around the room and listen for overall audio quality. 5. If further fine-tuning is required, you may need to adjust the Tone Control on the top of the Redcat Access.MICROPHONEVOLUMEMIN MAX BASSTREBLETONE

Turn the ALD (Assistive Listening Device) volume control on the Redcat Access side panel counterclockwise all way the down.2.  Determine the size and type of audio input jack on the device as many manufacturers’ products  differ in connector size and shape. The Lightspeed 370 Transmitter requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm patch cable (part# MMC3535, not included).3.  Connect a patch cable from the ALD’s microphone jack or AUX input to the 3.5mm audio jack labeled “ALD OUT” on the side  of the Redcat Access.4. With the Redcat Access and ALD turned on, speak into the Flexmike and slowly adjust the ALD volume control until the appropriate audio level is attained in the ALD’s receiver headphones.5.  It may be necessary to adjust the volume on the Personal FM receiver to achieve appropriate volume level.6.
