10. TEST GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION
1. From your mobile device, open the Lightspeed Activate App.
2. Select the classroom speaker and begin speaking into your microphone. You should
hear your voice at a comfortable, but not loud volume level. Tap the mute button to
ensure that is working properly. The microphone icon on the app and the power light
on the Flexmike will both turn red.
3. Select Pod #1. Note that it takes approximately 1.5-2 seconds to connect - the button
will blink and you will hear a tone in your earbud to confirm that Pod is live. Begin
speaking and confirm that your voice is coming through that Pod. You should also
be able to hear audio in your earbud. If possible, have another person sit next to and
speak into the Pod. Try muting your microphone to just monitor the conversation.
4. Try selecting each of other Pods to make sure they are all properly connected to the
system.
5. Enable Pod to Class sharing by swiping one of the Pods to the class speaker icon. This
allows a student to pick up the Pod and speak into it like a microphone to present
to the class. The student's voice will be amplified by the class speaker, allowing all
students to clearly understand. Note that the teacher's microphone can also be live
or muted during student sharing.
6. Try capturing a video. Press the Record tab. The camera on your device will be
activated. You should see a headphone icon on the lower left hand side of the screen
to indicate a bluetooth audio connection is active. To record just your microphone,
select the class icon. To record a student conversation, select the specific Pod to
record that audio.
7. Press the red recording button to start the recording. Make sure you or another
individual is speaking into the microphone and/or selected Pod. After several
seconds, press the red stop button to end the recording
8. Review the video. You can either click on the thumbnail for the video you just
recorded, or click on the Library tab to pull up a list of your recordings. Select the
video and press play. By default, the audio will play back directly to your earpiece. If
you wish to play the audio back through the class speaker or an individual Pod, un-
mute the microphone and select the desired audio source from the control arc. Make
sure you can hear the appropriate audio you were attempting to record.
9. That covers the general functionality of the system. Please refer to the tutorial in the
mobile app and additional sections in this user manual for more detailed operation.
