  • Page 9 Body-Pack Transmitter (IRB-30), usually worn on the waistband, is the component that transmits the IR signal to the sensor. The IRB-30 has 10 emitting diodes on its front panel and is powered by two rechargeable NiMH batteries. Controls include a power “on/off”...
  • Page 10 Collar Microphone (CM-835) is a flexible rod that is formed around the neck. The end with the microphone and windscreen is then contoured up toward the mouth. The cord exits the rod in the center in back, out of the way, and is plugged into the body-pack.
  • Page 11 Body – Pack Transmitter and its Features • An external microphone needs to be plugged into the Body-Pack o The Plug-in microphone (LM-300) is a small capsule that plugs directly into the top of the body-pack transmitter. Slip the lanyard over your head and clip Body-Pack to lanyard, use as a pendant type microphone.
  • Page 12 Ch. B. • Speak into the microphone and adjust the volume using Ch. B volume control on the VoiceLink IV. • While talking, walk around the perimeter of the room to verify 100% reception of the signal.
  • Page 13 Installation of System Location of receiver is primarily determined by user accessibility and availability of an electrical outlet. Location of the sensor and routing of the sensor cable is a more critical issue. It is important to observe a central location for the sensor and adherence to the guidelines for the routing the sensor cable Location of Receiver Select a location that is close to a standard wall electrical outlet...

  • Page 18 Feedback (Mic Squeals) Feedback is the result of a resonant sound coming from the speaker into the microphone creating a self generating closed audio loop. This can only be avoided by not walking under or directly in front of the speaker. Relocation of speaker is another consideration to prevent the close proximity of microphone to speaker.
