8. Put the monitor switch in the RCV position. Call your studio on the cell
phone and have an associate listen while you speak into the microphone.
Adjust the SEND LEVEL control with a small screwdriver while your associate
listens for adequate loudness and minimum distortion. This is a one time
adjustment unless the FlipJack is used with a different phone. NOTE: You
should hear yourself in your headset when the switch is in the RCV position
and you are connected to someone via your cell phone or land line phone.
If you can’t, you might have to adjust the
Side Tone Leve
l control on the
side of the unit. See the drawing below.
INSTALLATION
The FlipJack is designed to interface with pocket-style cell phones
that have a 2.5 mm hands free adaptor jack.
Installing the FJ-500 FlipJack is simple.
1. Turn OFF the cell phone.
2. Plug one end of the provided 4 foot cable into the 2.5 mm hands free
adaptor on your cell phone.
3. Plug the loose end (3.5 mm end) of this cable into the connector labeled
CELL on the back of the FlipJack.
4. Plug in the microphone(s), headset(s) and any external devices to the
appropriate connectors on the FlipJack. If a microphone is plugged into
the MIC 2/LINE position, make sure the MIC/LINE switch on the back
panel is set to MIC.
5. Turn the FlipJack power ON by pressing the ON button on the front panel.
The front panel LEDs will flash on and then turn off. If the internal ‘AA’
batteries are low, the LOW BAT LED on the front panel will turn on.
6. Turn the cell phone on and set the front panel monitor switch to “SEND”
7. While speaking into the microphone, adjust its level control until the front
panel LEDs flash. The last LED (on the far right) should flash occasionally.
If it flashes continuously, it might indicate excessive audio drive for your
cell phone and cause distortion.
The Conex FlipJack provides a simple means for interfacing audio equipment
to a pocket-style cell phone at a remote broadcast site. It is specifically
designed to work with any cell phone that has a 2.5 mm hands free adaptor
jack.
The FlipJack provides two transformer-isolated and balanced XLR inputs,
one with switchable gain for line or microphone use, and a transformer
isolated balanced line input. Each of the XLR inputs allows for connection
to standard broadcast dynamic microphones and MIC 2 also allows for an
external line level input such as a mixer.
The two stereo headset jacks allow monitoring of a variety of audio sources
including: AIR ... the off-air signal provided by an external tuner or portable
radio when it is fed to the
TUNER
input.
RCV
... The receive audio is the
audio that is received from the cell phone. This is useful for listening for cues
from the station.
SEND
... This is the audio that is sent back to the station
from the cell phone.
MIC2/LINE
... Listen to audio on the
MIC2/LINE
input.
AUX
... Listen to audio feeding the
AUX
input.

Connecting to land line phones
: We recommend using a standard desk
type telephone where the curly cord can be disconnected from the handset
(see illustration below). The free end of the curly cord is then plugged into
the connector on the back of the FJ-500. The “Land Line”/ “Cell” switch is
put in the “Land Line” position.
Older style rotary dial phones and phones that have a keypad in the handset
will not work with the .
