101. Overview 2. Set Up & Use /Daily Operation 3. Optional Accessories 4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting5. Warranty, Safety & SpecificationsThe Redcat Access is shipped with feet to stand on a cabinet or tabletop. Alternatively, the feet can be used as wall mount brackets.Advantages of either include:SECTION 2: SET-UP & USE1. DETERMINE SET-UP LOCATION1A. TO SET-UP ON TABLE-TOPTabletop (recommended):• Virtually no setup time• Greater flexibility to move to different locationsFirst, consider that the Redcat Access should be placed within 7 feet of an electrical outlet and on a surface about 3-6 feet off the ground.Next, find a location as far away as possible from the teacher who will be using the mic. The best place is against the wall opposite where the teacher will be speaking. If this is not possible, other good locations are along either wall next to the teacher or in a corner. Avoid placing the Redcat Access next to where the teacher instructs. Putting the Redcat Access in close proximity to the teacher’s mic can result in feedback.Wall-mount:• More permanent setup• Greater securityAvoid!Good placement Best placement

TO SET-UP MOUNTED ON A WALLFirst, consider that the Redcat Access should be placed within 7 feet of an electrical outlet and about 6-8 feet off the ground.Next, find a location as far away as possible from the teacher who will be using the mic. The best place is centered on the long wall opposite the teacher. If this is not possible, other good locations are on the wall next to the teacher. Avoid placing the Redcat Access on any wall close to where the teacher usually stands to instruct the class. Having the teacher’s mic too close to the Redcat Access can result in feedback.Good placementBest placementAvoid!

151. Overview 2. Set Up & Use /Daily Operation 3. Optional Accessories 4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting5. Warranty, Safety & Specifications4. CHARGING THE FLEXMIKEBefore use, the Flexmike should be charged. It will take 8-9 hours for the Flexmike to obtain a full charge. A fully charged Flexmike will last for up to 8 hours of use. If microphones are used daily, they should be charged each night – microphones can be left charging constantly for up to 2 weeks without causing degradation to battery life. When plugged into a charger, a red light on the Flexmike indicates the battery pack is charging. A green light indicates that charging is complete and a full charge has been reached. See Troubleshooting section for more information.Replacement NiMH battery packs may only be purchased through Lightspeed Technologies (part # NH2.4V). Do not attempt to charge with other battery packs. They can overheat and expand creating a significant hazard and damaging the microphone (this is not covered by warranty).5. Hang the Flexmike on the lanyard opposite the magnetic clasp.1 21. Plug wall charger into an electrical outlet.2. Plug the USB charging cable(s) into the wall charger.3. Plug the micro USB end of the charging cable into USB port on the bottom of the Flexmike. 4. When the Flexmike is fully charged, the light on the mic will change to green.
161. Overview 2. Set Up & Use /Daily Operation 3. Optional Accessories 4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting5. Warranty, Safety & Specifications5. OPERATING THE FLEXMIKEOnce the Flexmike is charged, follow these steps to set it up for use.1. Remove the Flexmike from the charging cable and put it on by connecting the magnetic clasps behind your neck. The Flexmike will automatically power on and mute when it is removed from the charger. This will automatically power on the Redcat Access as well.2. The microphone volume on the Flexmike is set at the factory to the mid point. 3. While speaking in a normal voice, fine-tune the microphone volume on top of the Redcat Access up or down. Proper volume level should be as follows:• Your voice should be clearly heard by another person on the other side of the room.• You should barely be able to hear your own voice.• There should not be any audio “feedback” or squealing outside of 2-3 feet (if there is, turn the volume down slightly).REMEMBER: This equipment supplements the user’s voice so they are able to speak in a conversational tone. Having the volume set too high will result in feedback and listener fatigue.4. Once initial volume level is set, walk around the room and listen for overall audio quality. 5. If further fine-tuning is required, you may need to adjust the Tone Control on the top of the Redcat Access.MICROPHONEVOLUMEMINMAX BASSTREBLETONE

Turn the ALD (Assistive Listening Device) volume control on the Redcat Access side panel counterclockwise all way the down.2. Determine the size and type of audio input jack on the device as many manufacturers’ products differ in connector size and shape. The Lightspeed 370 Transmitter requires a 3.5mm to 3.5mm patch cable (part# MSC3535, not included).3. Connect a patch cable from the ALD’s microphone jack or AUX input to the 3.5mm audio jack labeled “ALD OUT” on the side of the Redcat Access.4. With the Redcat Access and ALD turned on, speak into the Flexmike and slowly adjust the ALD volume control until the appropriate audio level is attained in the ALD’s receiver headphones.5. It may be necessary to adjust the volume on the Personal FM receiver to achieve appropriate volume level.6.

251. Overview 2. Set Up & Use /Daily Operation 3. Optional Accessories 4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting5. Warranty, Safety & SpecificationsALL PROBLEMS: Most Problems are related to low battery power.SOLUTION: Battery Check• Confirm batteries are charged each night. A blinking red light on the power button indicates a low battery.• Confirm proper batteries are used. The Flexmike requires the Lightspeed NH2.4V rechargeable battery pack. The Sharemike requires the Lightspeed NH2APK rechargeable pattery pack.• Make sure the microphones obtain a full charge. A full charge takes 8-9 hours.• When plugging the charging cable into the transmitter, ensure the red charging light turns on. The green light will turn on when a full charge is reached.PROBLEM: Microphone does not indicate a “Ready” signal (solid blue or red light)SOLUTION: Follow these steps to ensure the system is ready to use.• Ensure the power button on the microphone is turned on. Once turned on, the blue light should begin blinking. • Power the microphone off, then on again after a few seconds. Wait for up to 30 seconds for the blue light to turn solid, indicating READY for operation.PROBLEM: Low Volume or FeedbackSOLUTION: Follow these steps to eliminate low volume or feedback.• Check volume level on the amplifier. If the volume is too high, feedback will occur. Adjust accordingly.• Adjust the volume level on the Flexmike. PROBLEM: No Sound From AmplifierSOLUTION: Follow these steps to produce sound from Redcat Access.• Confirm that the blue POWER light located on the front panel of the Redcat Access is on.• Confirm the microphone is linked to the Redcat Access. The mic 1 status light will be green on the Redcat Access indicating the microphone is linked.• Confirm that the microphone is turned on. There will be a solid blue light on the top of microphone to indicate it is powered on and ready.• Confirm that microphone is not muted. A solid red light on the top of microphone will indicate it is muted.Note: Most problems are directly related to low battery power. Please run through the “Battery Check” items first. For remaining troubleshooting, use known good, fully-charged batteries.If you review these instructions and still have questions, call Lightspeed Technical Services at 800.732.8999, 5 a.m. – 5 p.m., PST.
