The IR Classmate

+

has all the features of the IR Classmate with the addition of a remote

volume adjust feature for use with a Swift

TX

transmitter.

Safe battery charging/maximising battery life

Fully charged batteries will last around 8 hours in both beltpack and handheld transmitters. The
service life of the batteries is typically between 1-2 years depending on use.
If using the external charger to charge the handheld microphone, remove from charge the next
day but no harm will occur if left on charge over the weekend. 

IMPORTANT: in order for the wall unit to charge the batteries automatically and safely, 
the wall unit must be LOCKED. 
If not locked, the charge cycle will not terminate 
and the batteries may overheat and be damaged.

The wall unit must also be permanently powered from
the mains supply.
Charging mode is indicated by red flashing lights on
the wall unit. No sound is produced when the wall unit
is in charge mode. 
Always ensure a transmitter is turned off while
charging.

Charge lead for in situ charging

Swift

TX

transmitters are charged in the unit using the 1.3mm DC ‒ 1.3mm DC charge lead

supplied with the IR Classmate unit. (

Part no. X0DIV00)

Handheld transmitters are charged using the 1.3mm DC ‒ 21.mm DC charge lead supplied
with the transmitter. (

Part no. X0IR00)

Wall unit fuse

Turn off at mains before replacing fuse.
Use a small coin in the slot and turn 
anti-clockwise to open fuse cartridge.
Replacement fuse is 20mm T6 Antisurge
T630mA

(Connevans part no: JF630T). Replace

cartridge and tighten securely.

Making the most of the additional audio inputs.

The IR Classmate wall unit provides three additional audio inputs besides the two IR mic
channels. These are two stereo-summed (stereo input-mono output) auxiliary channels labelled
‘Multimedia’ and TV/CD/MP3. These channels are both the same and may be used in mono or
stereo and will accept practically any line level audio signal.

The ‘ext mic’ channel can accept a wired dynamic microphone (low output) where the gain
switch is set to ‘Hi’ or a wired electret condenser microphone where the gain switch is set to ‘Lo’
or ‘Hi’. This channel offers a cost effective way of providing a third microphone channel that can
be used, for example, at the front of the class.
