Problem Isolation Steps

Resolution

Check

that the ISR sensor is located 
away from possible sources of IR 
interference.

Direct sunlight and Plasma monitors can adversely 
affect performance.

Check

that a known good microphone 
works with the system being 
tested.

If the intermittent operation stops, the original 
microphone is likely the cause of the problem. If 
the problem continues, the ISR sensor may be the 
cause of the problem.

Check

proper connection of Cat 5 sen-
sor cable.

Make sure the Cat 5 connector is fully inserted and 
locked into 805 preamp and ISR.

Verify

proper wiring of Cat 5 sensor 
cable.

If Cat 5 cable has been reterminated, or if a differ-
ent type third-party cable has been used, the new 
connector may be mis-wired. Replace with known 
good cable to verify.

REDMIKE/RED-
MIKE Volume 
Control (RMT/
RMV) will not 
power on

Check

that the correct battery is being 
used.

Use the Lightspeed NH2A27 NiMH rechargeable 
sensing battery as it is the only kind of battery that 
will properly charge with the RMT/RMV.

Check

that the battery is installed prop-
erly.

Ensure that the polarity is observed.

Check

that the battery is charged.

Substitute a known good battery and see if it 
charges in the microphone. If it does charge, 
replace worn or defective battery. Typical battery 
life is 1-2 years.

Check

that battery contacts are not 
obstructed.

Ensure that there is no object preventing good 
contact between the battery and contacts.

RMT/RMV 
won't charge

Verify

that the correct battery is being 
used.

Use the Lightspeed NH2A27 NiMH rechargeable 
sensing battery as it is the only kind of battery that 
will properly charge with the RMT/RMV.

Check

that the RMT/RMV charging 
circuitry is working properly.

Substitute a known good battery and see if it 
charges in the microphone. If it does charge, 
replace worn or defective battery. Typical battery 
life is 1-2 years.

Verify

that the RMT/RMV is being 
seated properly in the cradle 
charger.

When the RMT/RMV is properly inserted in the 
cradle, the LED on the charger should turn solid 
red.

Verify

that the cradle charger is working 
properly.

The LED on the cradle charger should turn solid 
red when the microphone is inserted. If no LED's 
light, try using a known good cradle charger. (If 
there is a blinking red LED, that indicates a charg-
ing error most likely related to improper battery 
type.)

Verifiy

that the cradle charger power 
supply is not damaged or defec-
tive.

Try known good charger power supply.
