Using installed rechargeable microphones
To use the microphone, activate the AV touch panel by pressing it, then select a source. If you don't want to use the installed projector, choose Instructor Only or Audio Only mode options when displayed.
Remove the microphone from the Charger Base. Attach the microphone to clothing or to a lanyard, position microphone just above the sternum or breastbone, within 6 - 12 inches from the mouth is recommended.
Make sure microphone is attached securely with the microphone LED indicator pointed up toward mouth.
Confirm the microphone is un-muted by pressing and releasing the Mute button on the front of the microphone (flashing GREEN LED = un-muted). Adjust microphone volume on the AV touch panel controls. If necessary, move the microphone closer to the mouth.
Return the microphone unit to the Charger Base when finished. The unit will automatically turn off and begin charging once placed in the base station.
