PAIRING MICROPHONES TO TOPCAT

Your system is shipped with microphones and base units pre-paired for quick and easy use. If you ever need to pair new components, follow this pairing process:

POINT MICROPHONES AT TOPCAT
From a powered off state, point the IR transmitter lens toward the base unit (for Sharemike, the transmitter lens is located on the back of the microphone).
PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds until the Mic 1 and Mic 2 lights start flashing, then release the button and let the pairing process finish.
CONFIRM STATUS
The status light on Topcat will light up indicating the pairing process is complete. The Mic 1 or Mic 2 light on the microphone will stay illuminated.

Topcat with optional Media Connector

DETERMINE LOCATION
Media Connector is designed to be connected to the primary media source in the classroom, usually the computer or display panel.
CONNECT TO POWER
Connect the USB cable power cord to a computer, or use the USB power adapter to plug into the wall outlet. Plug the USB cable into the USB input on the back of the Media Connector.
POWER ON
When powered on, the white LED on the front panel will glow.
Topcat does not need to be powered off at the end of day, but if desired, you may power down Topcat by powering down the Media Connector.

CONNECTING MEDIA CONNECTOR TO AUDIO

Audio can be connected using either a digital 2-way USB audio or analog audio.
USB Audio
If locating and connecting to computer USB, Media Connector will default to digital USB audio (3.5mm analog audio ports will be disabled). USB audio enbles a 2-way audio link to:
Send audio from the computer to Topcat to ensure all audio can be played through the Topcat speaker.
Send audio to the computer from Topcat to ensure the teacher’s Flexmike and any student microphones are clearly picked up by a video conferencing solution.
COMPUTER SETTINGS
Once connected, open computer sound setting to select “Lightspeed Audio” as the microphone and speaker.
Analog Audio
Plug your external audio equipment (e.g., video display) into one of the Audio input jacks.

Adjust the volume as needed by pressing the Audio Input selector and adjusting the level knob as needed.

PAIRING TOPCAT TO MEDIA CONNECTOR

Your system is shipped with microphones and base units pre-paired for quick and easy use. If you ever need to pair new components, follow this pairing process:

FLEXMIKE PAIRING MODE
