SET-UP & OPERATION

Once the Flexmike is charged, follow these steps for use.

1. Remove the Flexmike from the charger and put it on by connecting the

magnetic clasps behind your neck. Adjust the lanyard so that the top of the

Flexmike aligns with the collarbone.

2. The Flexmike will automatically power on and mute when it is removed

from the charger.

3. The microphone volume on the Flexmike is set at the factory to the

midpoint. It is adjusted by the up/ down buttons on the side of the mic.

4. While speaking in a normal voice, fine tune the microphone volume.

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.

• Once initial volume level is set, walk around the room and listen for overall

audio quality.

• If further fine tuning is required, you may need to adjust the Tone Control on

the front of the 975.

SET-UP & OPERATION

Using the Life Safety Functions

The 975 connects and responds to several important third-party life safety solutions.

2. PageFirst

MUTES CLASSROOM AUDIO SYSTEM

When the PageFirst sensor clip is

connected to an external paging

source, all audio signal is muted to

ensure paging is heard clearly.

See page 17 for installation details

1. Input Priority

MUTES CLASSROOM AUDIO SYSTEM

When an audio source is connected to

the Input Priority jack, an audio signal

from that source will automatically

mute all other audio inputs to allow it

to be heard without interference. The

975 is shipped with a removable plug

inserted into the Input Priority jack to

ensure that the connection to an audio

source is intentional.

3. Relay Input

MUTES CLASSROOM AUDIO SYSTEM

When the 975 is connected to a fire

alarm, audio signals going through

the unit are muted when the fire alarm

is activated to minimize distractions

from the sound of the alarm.

4. Alert Notification

INITIATES ALERT WITH FLEXMIKE

If your building is equipped with an alert

notification system, simultaneously

holding down the volume up and

down buttons for three seconds on the

Flexmike activates the contact closure

function on the 975. External systems

sense this contact closure to perform

a prescribed action, notifying the

appropriate parties of a classroom alert.

See page 17 for details

SET-UP & OPERATION

Installing PageFirst Sensor

(optional)

This 975 can interface with an independent classroom paging system.

When a page is broadcast, all audio from the system is muted, ensuring

important school-wide messages are not missed. Please note that PageFirst

is not compatible with telephone or IP-based paging systems.

How it works:

1. PageFirst sensor clip is hung around a lead wire attached to the

classroom paging speaker.

2. The clip is hard-wired to the amplifier.

3. As a page is broadcast, the sensor clip detects the audio signal through

induction and immediately mutes the amplifier.

4. When the page is over, the audio from the amplifier returns to normal

volume level.

USING ALERT NOTIFICATION

If your building is equipped with an alert notification system, you can use

the Flexmike to send an alert. This activates the contact closure function on

the 975, which external systems use to perform a prescribed action, such as

notifying the appropriate parties of a classroom alert.

How it works:

1. To send an alert, simultaneously hold down the volume up and volume

down buttons on the Flexmike for three seconds.

1. Press the Audio Output Selector first, then turn the volume control on the

front panel all the way down (fully counterclockwise).

2. Determine the type of audio input jack on the ALD as manufacturers’

products dier in connector size and shape. Many require a 3.5 mm to

3.5 mm patch cable (part# MSC3535, not included).

3. Connect a patch cable from the ALD microphone jack or AUX input to

AUDIO OUT jack on the front of the 975.

4. With the 975 and ALD turned on, speak into the Flexmike and slowly adjust

the corresponding volume control on the 975 until the appropriate audio

level is obtained in the ALD.

5. It may be necessary to adjust the volume on the ALD to achieve

appropriate volume level.
