TROUBLESHOOTING

COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Note: Most problems are directly related to low battery power. Please run
through the "Battery Check" items first. For remaining troubleshooting, use
known good, fully-charged batteries.
ALL PROBLEMS: Most Problems are
related to low battery power.
SOLUTION: Battery Check
• Confirm batteries are charged
each night.
• Confirm proper batteries are
used. The REDMIKE requires the
Lightspeed NH2A27 rechargeable
sensing battery for proper
charging. The REDMIKE Share
uses the NH2APK rechargeable
battery pack. The LT71 requires
two NH1 AA rechargeable
batteries.
• Make sure the microphones are
turned off while charging so a full
charge is attained. Full charge will
last eight hours.
• Inspect the battery contacts. Clean
and adjust if necessary.
PROBLEM: Hearing Static
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to
eliminate static.
• Ensure sensor is in optimum
location (refer to sensor placement
in manual). A single sensor will
cover a 1600 sq. ft. enclosed
classroom.
• Ensure that no other REDMIKE VC/
REDMIKE/LT71/REDMIKE Share is
operating on the same channel.
If you review these instructions and still have questions, write down the
serial number and model number of your system and call Lightspeed
Technical Services at 800.732.8999, 5 a.m. – 5 p.m., PST. Customers outside
the U.S. should contact their local reseller.
• If the optional iR media connection
is in use, set the microphone to
Channel A.
PROBLEM: Low Volume or Feedback
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to
eliminate low volume or feedback.
• Ensure microphone is positioned
appropriately, just below the collar
bone.
• Check volume level on the
amplifier. If the volume is too
high, feedback will occur. Adjust
accordingly.
• Adjust the volume level on the
back of the REDMIKE VC.
PROBLEM: No Sound From Speaker
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to
produce sound from speakers.
• Turn the FP100 on. Confirm that
the POWER light located on the
front panel switch is on.
• Confirm signal is being received at
the FP 100. The IR signal light will
be red indicating a signal is being
received.
• Confirm that REDMIKE VC is
turned on. There will be a blue
LED on the microphone to indicate
it is powered on.
