different locations
First, consider that the Redcat Access
should be placed within 7 feet of
an electrical outlet and on a surface
about 3-6 feet off the ground.
Next, find a location as far away as
possible from the teacher who will
be using the mic. The best place is
against the wall opposite where the
teacher will be speaking. If this is
not possible, other good locations
are along either wall next to the
teacher or in a corner. Avoid placing
the Redcat Access next to where the
teacher instructs. Putting the Redcat
Access in close proximity to the
teacher’s mic can result in feedback.

1B. TO SET-UP MOUNTED ON A WALL
First, consider that the Redcat Access
should be placed within 7 feet of an
electrical outlet and about 6-8 feet off
the ground.
Next, find a location as far away as
possible from the teacher who will
be using the mic. 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. Having the teacher’s
mic too close to the Redcat Access
can result in feedback.

The Redcat Access has one AUDIO INPUT with volume control for
connecting to classroom audio sources. 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 INTEGRATION
The 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.

4. CHARGING THE FLEXMIKE
Before 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. 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.

5. OPERATING THE FLEXMIKE
Once 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ÞÊ
heard by another person on the
other side of the room.

hear your own voice.

“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.

1. 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

7. USING FLEXMIKE AS WIRELESS AUDIO LINK
The Flexmike includes a 3.5mm audio input jack to
connect to an audio source like a laptop or MP3 player.
The Flexmike will transmit the audio signal to be played
through the system.
If your system includes two Flexmikes, you can use one
mic for instruction and the second mic to transmit audio
through the system.
1. Plug your external audio
equipment (for example, laptop),
into the input on the Flexmike
labeled “INPUT” using a 3.5mm
patch cable (not included).
