& Specifications

• Speak in a natural voice. A normal

conversational speech level will
provide an adequate signal.
It is not necessary to increase
the intensity of your voice—the
audio system provides adequate
amplification (approximately 5 – 10
dB) above ambient room noises.

• Avoid wearing jewelry that may rub

or bump against the microphone.

• Turn the REDMIKE off during

private conversations with a
student, parent, or other classroom
visitor. You can also cover the LED
lens on top of the REDMIKE to
block the signal.

• Recharge batteries each night.

When recharged nightly, operating
time (actual usage) for the
transmitters will last through a
typical school day.
