If the system does not give cue signals when any of the handset buttons are 
pressed, check the RF level indicator on the rear of the MicroCue

2

 main unit 

(see Fig 2). If this shows a signal is being received, it confirms the handset 
code needs to be ‘learned’ by MicroCue

2

 (see ‘Learning Handsets’ section).

 

 

Handset Timeout. 

To ensure maximum battery life and to comply with 

international Radio Frequency regulations, the handset will only transmit for a 
maximum of 5 seconds if any button is pressed and held down. 

 

Headphone Connection. 

Plug a set of stereo headphones into the cue tone 

output socket on the rear of the main unit (see Fig 2). Whilst pressing any cue 
button on the handset repeatedly at 1 second intervals, adjust the volume of the 
cue tones for a comfortable level, using a small flat screwdriver through the 
aperture underneath the main unit.  

 

The cue tone audio output mini jack socket connections are as follows (mono 
out on stereo headphones): 

 

Tip: Signal out 

 

Ring: Ground 

 

Sleeve: No connection

 

 

Presenter Control Selector Mode. 

The 

presenter control button has 4 states as 
follows: 

 

1.  Both A and B USB channels are 

selected (default) 

2.  Both A and B USB channels are off 
3.  A USB channel is selected, B is off 
4.  B USB channel is selected, A is off 

Each press of the presenter control button 
cycles through to the next of these states.  

 

MicroCue

2

 will start in the default state (A and B selected).  In this mode and 

with MicroCue

2

 connected to two computers via the A and B USB ports (see Fig 

2), the presenter can simultaneously control two different PowerPoint 
presentations directly from the handset.  Pressing the presenter control button 
while in the default state will change to full operator-only control mode (both 
USB ports off; state option 2 in Fig 3). MicroCue

2

 will now only signal cues via 

the visual display on the main unit and the cue tone audio output. Pressing the 
presenter control button again will enable USB port A and another press of the 
button will deselect USB port A and enable USB port B. Pressing the presenter 
control button once more will restore to the default state (A and B both 
enabled).
