General Information The Revolabs FLX2 Conference Phone includes several components which, in the sum, make up the conferencing phone. The components are the Charge Base, Speaker, Microphones and Dialer (handset). In addition, the Base Station receives the wireless signals from those components and...
Speaker, the Microphones, and the Dialer for at least 8 hours or overnight before starting to use the system. Please note that the Revolabs FLX2 Conference Phone comes with two different power supplies. Please ensure that you are using the correct power supply when connecting the Base Station and the Charger Base.
Page 8
Making a call To make a conference call, take at least one of the Microphones out of the Charger Base, and take the Dialer out of the Charger Base. You can remove all Microphones and the Speaker if you wish, but this is not required. Use the Dialer to enter the number you want to call, including any leading digits your telephone connection might require.
Description The Revolabs FLX2™ Wireless Conference Phone is a unique marriage of innovative technology and ergonomic design, allowing for an unparalleled experience when making telephone calls, video conference calls, or using it with your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or computer to make speaker phone calls.
The Base Station is the wireless receiver and sender of the audio stream from the Microphones and to the Speaker, as well as to the Dialer. It features the ability to connect two Revolabs FLX Microphones and one Speaker wirelessly. The Base Station is designed to optimize audio and video conferencing by providing consistent audio input from all participants.
FLX2 Charger Base The FLX2 Charger Base, shown below, provides charging capabilities for all battery operated system components, including the Dialer, the Speaker, and the Microphones, by allowing them to charge in one simple and organized location. The FLX2 Charger Base is not required while in a conference call, however it can maintain the charge of the FLX Speaker and FLX Dialer while a call is in progress.
FLX Dialer The FLX Dialer equips the user with an intuitive and interactive tool for configuring and operating the FLX System. The Dialer is not only used to make and answer conference calls, but it is also used for configuring the system settings, having a call using the handset, and monitoring the system components.
FLX Speaker The FLX Speaker, shown below, is a wireless active omnidirectional speaker that has been designed and optimized specifically for use with the FLX Conferencing System. The Speaker is equipped with a pairing button on the bottom and 4 LED indicators on the top to display the activity of the Speaker and the mute status of the system.
FLX Microphones The FLX Microphones provide a sleek and unobtrusive form factor allowing for closer proximity to the participants and creating the best audio available to the far end. They are equipped with a button for pairing and muting, an LED indicator to display mute status and battery charge level, and an internal buzzer to warn if the Microphones have lost connection to the Base Station.
Initial Setup After unpacking the FLX2 Conferencing System, there are a few initial setup tasks that must be performed before a call can take place or any system configuration can be changed. Connecting System Cables The FLX2 Base Station and Charger Base each have a power supply that needs to be connected, as shown below.

To receive audio signal on the AUX OUT, microphones have to be taken out of the Charger Base.
Answering an Incoming Telephone Call 1. When the FLX2 System identifies an incoming call, it will play the ring tone through the FLX Speaker. If the Dialer is not in the Charger Base it will play a ring tone, too. 2.

Bluetooth The FLX2 System is equipped with a Bluetooth interface allowing a call to be placed through a cell phone, computer, or 3 party Bluetooth device.

Select ‘Yes’ to have the FLX2 System pair with the Bluetooth device and be ready for use.
Video Conference Collaboration The FLX2 System is equipped with balanced analog audio input and output to be connected to 3 party video or PC conferencing system. This allows the FLX Microphones and Speaker to be used as Microphones and Speaker for the video call. It also provides Acoustic Echo Cancelation and Noise Control to the video call.
Mixing the audio signals As discussed earlier, Audio and Video, or Bluetooth and Video calls can be made simultaneously from a FLX system, requiring FLX to mix the audio of the different inputs to go to the different outputs. In the Audio Controls menu, available from the main menu and the Active Call Menu, the Audio Mixer menu is offered.
