Operating The Redmike - Lightspeed Redcat User Manual

5. OPERATING THE REDMIKE

Once the REDMIKE is charged, follow these steps to
set it up for use.
1. Push the REDCAT power switch to the ON position.
2. Remove the REDMIKE from the charging cradle
and turn it on. The red IR LED (CH. A or CH. B) on
the REDCAT will light to indicate a signal is being
received.
3. Slip the REDMIKE with lanyard around the neck and
position the top of the microphone just below the
collarbone. The REDMIKE should be centered on
the plastic insert in the lanyard.
4. Slowly increase the CH. A/B volume up to the
"silver" section of the dial. This designates normal
volume range in the classroom.

5. While speaking in a normal voice, fine-tune the
volume up or down. Proper volume level should be
as follows:
• Your voice should be clearly heard by another
person on the other side of the room.
• You should barely be able to hear your own voice.
• There should not be any audio "feedback" or
squealing outside of 2-3 feet (if there is, turn the
volume down slightly).
REMEMBER: This equipment supplements
the user's voice so they are able to speak in a
conversational tone. Having the volume set too
high will result in feedback and listener fatigue.
