6. POWER LED 

When the on/off switch is

in the “ON” position the

power LED should glow

red. If it does not glow red

this typically means a low

battery.

7. EMITTER 

The emitter must be plugged into the IRB-10 trans-

mitter and either attached to the clothing via the

clip or worn around the neck with the lanyard.

8. EXT. MIC 

The provided microphone cable and mic must be

plugged into the IRB-10 transmitter. Multiple dif-

ferent microphone options are available from

Lifeline Amplification Systems including collar and

headset mics.

9. CHARGING JACK 

The charging jack is used to charge the battery. 

The WH-1 charging cable, rechargeable batteries,

and battery charger are included in with your

Freedom 2 Infrared System.

1. FREQUENCY SELECTION

The IRB-10 can be set to transmit on either one of

two preset frequencies. This is so that two different

teachers can teach in the same room (team teach-

ing). It is also so that you can use a lapel mic and

handheld mic in the same room. While it does not

matter which frequency is chosen, two wireless 

systems (microphones) can NOT be on the same 

frequency at the same time. To select the desired

frequency (channel) slide the switch (1) as shown

on the back of the battery door. All systems come

pre-set to channel 1 for ease of use.

2. POWER MODE SELECTION 

The IRB-10 has two power modes- “LO” and “HI”.

These modes can be selected via a power switch (2)

inside the battery compartment. The system comes

factory pre-set to the “HI” position. The only reason

to turn the power mode switch to the low position is

if the range you need is less than 15 feet or you are

experiencing low battery problems.

3. MICROPHONE GAIN

The microphone gain (volume) can be adjustable if

you experience a lower volume level than desired.

The microphone gain control is found on the inside

of the battery compartment (3). A tool has been 

provided(inside the battery compartment) to adjust

the gain if necessary. Adjustment of gain control

should only be necessary if you have already tried

to adjust the volume on the amplifier and you are

still experiencing low volume.

4. BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Two AA Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable 

batteries have been included with your Freedom 2

Infrared  System. These batteries should last 

several hours per day for a period of at least one

year. The number one cause of battery problems is

overcharging a battery. Be sure to never charge 

your battery over 72 hours. Always use Lifeline

Amplification Systems rechargeable batteries 

for best results.

5. ON/OFF SWITCH

Turns the transmitter “ON” and “OFF”. If you are

not going to use the unit for more than 15 minutes,

turn the unit “OFF” to conserve battery life.
