CHARGING PODS #9-12
If your system was equipped with more than 8 Pods, those additional Pods will need to
be charged using the provided USB cable from the back of the Activate Station.
Charging:
•
Connect the included charging cable(s) to any of the USB CHARGING OUTPUT ports
on the back of Activate Station.
•
Connect the other end of the cable to the Micro USB port on the Pod.
•
The red charge light on the Pod will light to indicate charging has begun.
•
When fully charged, the light will turn green.
TIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE
Determining optimum placement of the Pods
•
Pods should be placed in the approximate center of the group
•
They can be placed on the center of a table or on the floor where the students are
sitting.
•
The microphone is designed to pick up students in a 360 degree radius.
Managing equipment and charging
•
Leave all components in the on position.
- When you place them on the charger, they will charge as normal.
- When you remove them from the charger to start the day, they will be fully
charged and ready for operation.
•
Assign students to manage the charging of the Pods.
- Have one assigned student remove it from the charger to start the day and place
it back on the charger at the end of the day.
Determining proper volume levels
•
This system is not designed to make the teachers voice louder, but to distribute it
appropriately so it is heard clearly by the selected group of students or the whole
class.
•
The Pods are designed to be used independently, so turning the volume up too loud
can result in bleed-over to another group.
•
Typical volume levels at a Pod are about half of the maximum setting –
approximately 0 volume out of +/- 5.
•
It should be loud enough that students in the desired group hear you as though you
were speaking directly to them at a distance of 3 feet.
•
The classroom speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, but clear throughout
the whole room. This is controlled at the Activate Station using the microphone
volume buttons and is typically set at the midpoint.
