Essential Operating Instructions:
Setting Up your Lanyard and Positioning your Mic
•
Using the clip on the back of your mic, attach your lanyard so that your mic hangs from the center point.
•
Position the lanyard around your neck so the mic falls 5 in (13 cm) from your mouth, with its top resting above your collarbone.
Note:
When using your mic, you will
not necessarily be able to hear yourself through the speaker system. The system is meant to
lift your natural volume enough so that more distant listeners hear you well. To ensure that you can be heard, and that
volume levels are well adjusted, ask another person to stand in various places around the room and confirm they can
clearly hear your voice.
•
A plastic connector on the lanyard opens when forced and is provided to guard against choking. You many also use this to open
and close the lanyard for putting it on or removing it.
Turning your Microphone On and Off
•
Tap the logo button located on the front center of your mic to turn it on. Mic light will briefly flash green then turn either
solid blue (if paired) or solid yellow (if unpaired).

above.
•
To turn your mic off, press and hold the logo button for 3 seconds. No lights should display when mic is off.
Muting and Unmuting your Mic
•
To completely mute your mic, tap the logo button once. The mic will display a blinking blue light indicating that it is muted. No
audio will be transmitted through the mic.
•
To unmute your mic, tap the logo button once more. The mic will display a solid blue light once again, indicating the mic is
unmuted.
Cleaning your Mic
•
Periodic cleaning of the microphone is recommended to avoid the buildup of common contaminants like dust, lint, dirt, makeup,
and oil. These can clog the windscreen and prevent it from working well.
•
Remove dust & lint build up with a light spray of canned compressed air or a dust cloth.
•
Use a disinfectant wipe to clean leftover build up that did not come off by dusting. Use extra care around the sensitive areas
(charging port, windscreen, and logo button). Take care not to use a wipe with any excess liquid content that could enter the
openings.
