Programming: Stand Alone

The programming web page has options to pick an integration partner and to program the buttons on the paired Clearmike.
SELECT AN INTEGRATION PARTNER
The Standalone selection can be used for generic integrations if a building is equipped with an alert notification system.
The Alert Button can be programmed to control the contact closure on the rear panel of the C25, which external systems can use to perform a prescribed action, such as notifying the appropriate parties of a classroom alert.
Alternatively, the Alert Button can be programmed to activate a contact closure followed by a SIP call to control both functions with a single button press.
ALERT TIMEOUT VALUE
The Alert Timeout Value controls how long alerts are displayed in the Dashboard.
This is a Cascadia Web Console specific setting and does not control other thirdparty systems.
Value can be set between 0 and 3600 seconds.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

Clearmike Battery Replacement

BATTERY PART #L3.7V

1. Push down on the latch and carefully pull the battery pack away from the Clearmike.
2. Insert new battery pack as shown and make sure the latch is secure.
3. Place the Clearmike in a cradle charger to charge the battery pack.

Sharemike Battery Replacement
BATTERY PART #L3.7V

1. Push down on the latch and carefully pull the battery pack away from the Sharemike.
2. Insert new battery pack as shown and make sure the latch is secure.
3. Place the Sharemike in a cradle charger to charge the battery pack.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM: Low battery indication: 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.
SOLUTION: Battery Check

• Confirm batteries are charged each night. A solid red light on the battery status light indicates a low battery.
• Confirm proper batteries are used: Clearmike and Sharemike require the Lightspeed #L3.7V rechargeable battery pack.
• Make sure the microphones obtain a full charge. A full charge takes 5-6 hours.
• When charging the transmitter, the red charging light is solid. The green light will be solid when a full charge is reached.

PROBLEM: Microphone doesn’t indicate a “Ready” signal (solid white light)
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to ensure the system is ready to use.

• Power cycle the microphone using either the Power/Mute button or by placing in a charger and then removing it. Wait for up to 30 seconds for the white light to turn solid, indicating READY for operation.

PROBLEM: Low volume or feedback
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to eliminate low volume or feedback:

• If the volume is too high, feedback will occur. Adjust accordingly.
• Adjust the volume level on the Clearmike or move the microphone further from the audio system speakers.

PROBLEM: No sound from speaker and wireless components
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to produce sound from C25:

• Confirm that the white POWER light located on the front panel of the C25 is on.
• Confirm the microphone is powered on and linked to the C25. The Talk/Mute light will be white indicating the microphone is linked.
• Tap the Power/Mute button to confirm that microphone is not muted. The Talk/ Mute light on the front of the microphone will be solid blue indicating microphone is not muted.
• Check speaker connections on the C25. Make sure the cables are properly connected (see page 8 of this manual or the Installation Guide for more information).
• Slowly turn up the volume level while talking into the microphone.

If you still have questions after reviewing these instructions, call Lightspeed Technical Services at 800.732.8999, 5am–5pm, PST.
Customers outside the U.S. should contact their local reseller.

Tips for Optimum Audio Performance

• Speak in a natural voice. A normal conversational speech level will provide an adequate signal. It is not necessary to increase the intensity of your voice— the audio system provides adequate amplification (approximately 5–10 dB) above ambient room  noises.
• Avoid wearing jewelry that may rub or bump against the microphone.
• Mute the microphone during private conversations with a student, parent, or other classroom visitor. You can tell the mic is muted when the light turns white.
• Recharge microphones each night. When recharged nightly, operating time (actual usage) for the microphones will last through a typical school day.
