TIPS TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM AUDIO PERFORMANCE
• Speak in a natural voice. A normal conversational speech level will provide an adequate signal. It is not necessary
to increase the intensity of your voice—the audio system provides adequate amplification (approximately 5 – 10 dB)
above ambient room noises.
• Avoid wearing jewelry that may rub or bump against the microphone.
• Mute the Flexmike, with a momentary press of the power button, during private conversations with a student, parent,
or other classroom visitor. An additional momentary press of the power button will unmute the Flexmike.
