Clicker Operation
Instructions
1 Press the ON/OFF button to power the IR Clicker on.
2 Locate the IR Receiver and point the Clicker toward it.
3 Make your Response Choice and press the corresponding
alphanumeric Response Key.
4 Watch the Response Grid or Attendee List for verification of the
receipt of your transmission.
The LED Light will flash while the Response transmission to the IR
Receiver is in progress. The IR Clicker's power will automatically shut off
after 15 minutes of inactivity.
The LED Light* illuminates to indicate the following:
Red = High Confidence Level Transmission
Green = Medium Confidence Level Transmission
Orange = Low Confidence Level Transmission
Flashing = Response Transmission in Progress
*Replace the batteries when the LED Light becomes dim.
You might want students to qualify their Responses to a Question by
indicating the level of confidence they have in the correctness of their
answers. The IR Clickers have an H
row of keys. These keys can be used in combination with the Response
keys to attach a Confidence Level to a Response. The H key indicates the
student has a high level of confidence in the accuracy of his Response.
The L key signifies the student is basically guessing at the correct answer
and has a low level of confidence in the accuracy of his Response. By
default, when a Confidence Level is not indicated, all Responses are
assigned a Medium Level of Confidence. You should indicate at the
beginning of a Session, or before a Question is presented, that you want
a Confidence Level attached to the Responses. When a Confidence Level
is requested, students should be told to press the H or L key first, then
press a Response Key.
The Confidence Level setting will revert to the default value of Medium after
15 seconds have passed without a transmission, or after the IR Clicker is
powered Off and On.
Even with the limited key selection of the IR Clickers, they are capable of
sending a variety of different Responses, depending on the type of
Question being asked. Clicker Operation Instruction sets can be accessed
from the Help Menu (Chapter One, PRS Menus). Display the relevant
instruction set prior to the beginning of the Session.
