With proper care and use it will become one of your most valuable classroom educational tools. Students will be able to consistently and easily understand the teacher, regardless of their location in the classroom, or competing internal or external background noise. Teachers can speak all day in their normal voice, and will suffer far fewer vocal problems and absenteeism. Numerous studies show that classrooms using sound field enjoy better student comprehension, increased student participation, better grades and fewer behavioral referrals. Read this manual carefully to become familiar with your system and to get the most out of it’s many features and options. 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 8 understanding sound field and its benefits without sound field • • • • co ug h! distance noise echo vocal fatigue with sound field • • • • distance noise echo vocal fatigue 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 9 installation tips Before you set your system up, take a good look around your room. Where are the outlets located? Where are the computers and other electronic equipment? Where can you put your speaker so it's easy for you to reach, but out of the way of students and main traffic areas? Though each classroom is different, there are some general guidelines for speaker placement: The speaker should be at the front of the classroom at least 6 feet/1.8 meters away from where the teacher stands. Try to keep it at least six feet away from computers or other electronic equipment, since there may be interference if placed too closely together. 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 10 basic system guidelines To help ensure that you get the most from this system, we have put together a list of suggested guidelines. Charge transmitter batteries every night. Our rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride batteries last approximately 12 hours between charges, but should be recharged every night so they are ready to go in the morning. Plan on buying new NiMH batteries after 12 months of use. Alkaline batteries can also be used, and they will last approximately 15 hours. NEVER attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! This will cause damage to the transmitter units and may invalidate product warranty. Charge the 920SR receiver batteries every night. The column speaker rechargeable battery lasts approximately 5 - 8 hours between charges, but should be recharged every night so it’s ready to go in the morning. For daily use, we recommend unplugging the power supply cord, allowing the battery to power the unit. Continuous, daily operation with the power supply cord plugged in will reduce the life of the battery significantly. Do not coil the microphone cord. Since it also acts as your antenna, coiling or wrapping the cord will affect its range and may also reduce its life. Speak at a normal level — the system is projecting your voice for you. 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 11 accessories included with system or or 10 11 12 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label column speaker receiver (920SR) body-worn transmitter (921T) or handheld transmitter (922T) 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 12 speaker table stand (AT0823) or wall mounting bracket (set of 2) (AT0820) elastic belt (AT0712) AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (AT0807) charging stand (923C) power supply, receiver (040-7402-106) 10 channel changer screwdriver (330-3000-101) power supply, charging stand (040-7402-107) 11 auxiliary input/output cable (AT0532-05) receiver antenna (AT0831) 12 auxiliary input cable (3.5mm – dual RCA) (300-6332-107) 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 13 920SR column speaker features (top) 10 11 12 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label power, low battery, and reception status indicator for channel A power switch and volume control for channel A reception status indicator for channel B power switch and volume control for channel B tone control aux input volume control 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 14 aux output level switch See page 42 for level setting chart antenna wall mount hole 10 extra antenna hole (not used) 11 aux input jack (3.5mm, mono) 12 aux output jack (3.5mm, mono) 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 15 920SR column speaker features (front and back) 20 13 14 16 15 18 17 19 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 16 13 speaker grille 19 power jack 14 two built-in speakers 20 channel selectors 15 internal rechargeable battery (non-user removable) 16 handle 17 main power on/off switch 18 power and charging indicator 10 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 17 921T body-worn transmitter features front back 11 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 18 921T body-worn transmitter features (cont’d) top belt clip battery compartment volume control channel selector microphone input (2.5mm) 3 position power switch on standby (mute) off power and low battery indicator light 12 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 19 922T handheld microphone features LED indicator light 3 position power switch on 13 standby (mute) off channel selector battery compartment channel selector key (inside battery compartment) 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 20 923C charging stand features front back power indicator pocket 1 charging indicator pocket 1 full charge indicator pocket 2 charging indicator pocket 2 full charge indicator power switch DC power socket 14 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4:51 PM Page 21 basic system setup and operation attach antenna 15 4/5/04 Attach antenna to top of speaker Turn metal base of antenna clockwise until secured tightly (do not over-tighten) 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 22 turn on main power if using wall outlet Plug power supply into power/charging socket Plug power supply into wall socket Turn speaker on if using already charged battery Turn speaker on NOTE: Light is not illuminated during normal battery operation NOTE: Battery operating time is 5-8 hours. 16 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 23 charge battery charge nightly after every use Plug power supply into power/charging socket Plug power supply into wall socket Recharging time is 8 hours if the battery is completely discharged and 4 to 7 hours if battery is only partially discharged.

Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treated conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before a unit is purchased. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing instrument evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing instrument. The evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a unit best suited to your individual needs. Following the medical evaluation, the physician should give you a written statement which states your hearing loss has been medically evaluated, and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing instrument. The physician should refer you to an audiologist or hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing instrument evaluation. Federal law restricts the sale of hearing instruments to those individuals who have not obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best interest and its use is strongly discouraged. If you should have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial rental or purchase-option program. Many dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear the hearing instrument for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase that unit. 54 3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:52 PM Page 61 code of federal regulations (cont’d) children with hearing loss In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. transmitter This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Low Power Radio Service (47 C.F.R.

IC notes This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. 4:52 PM Page 64 If TV channel 13 is used in the area, the installer shall reduce or adjust the RF radiated power so that near-by TV channel 13 receivers do not receive radio interference from the system installed. Suggestions: A test with a TV receiver equipped with "rabbit-ear antenna" and tuned to channel 13 should be conducted, at the perimeter of the users' intended coverage area and not over-lapping other user's areas without the latter's consent. If this does not solve the problem, a channel near the 217 MHz edge and not near 216 MHz should be tried. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
