COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REQUIREMENT 15.407(C)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is passed down
through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the
RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only
ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it
then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on
only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other
words, this device automatically discontinues transmission in case of either
absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE WARNING
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines. This equipment should be installed and operated keeping the

SAFE ALERTS PAIRED VS NOT PAIRED
PAIRED MODE
(MICROPHONE CONNECTED TO A RECEIVER)
When a Teacher Microphone is linked to the receiver and the E2 buttons are
pressed simultaneously for 3 seconds or more the Teacher Microphone
immediately sends an alert message to the receiver.
(MIC1/Power/MIC2 indicator: lights red.) The microphone continues to transmit
audio before, during, and after the alert message is sent. (If the microphone
is moved to the Audio Mute Area* or the wireless connection breaks location,
the status changes from a linked alert to a non-pair alert.) Audio mute area:
Refer to Command List [SAA].
Even when the Teacher Microphone is off, an alert can be sent by pressing the
E2 buttons on the microphone. If the microphone is able to connect to its
linked receiver, it will be in a linked alert state. (If the microphone can
not connect to its linked receiver, it will be in a non-pair state.)
NON-PAIRED MODE
(MICROPHONE ISN’T CONNECTED TO A RECEIVER)
If the Microphone is not linked to the receiver and the E2 buttons are pressed
for 2 seconds or more:
- The microphone uses the ALL command to search for nearby receivers.
- The five closest receivers will return a signal to the microphone, helping software plot the E2 alert’s location on.
- The Microphone will repeat #2 every 30 seconds until the microphone is turned off. (MIC1/Power/MIC2 indicator: there is no change.)
The microphone in non-linked mode never transmits audio.
Alerts from the Alert Notification button will only be sent alert information.
FUNCTIONS
MICROPHONE OVERRIDE FUNCTION

format is categorized into three patterns as follows:
WHEN THERE IS NO PARAMETER:
“$” as a starting character, command, the control code, “CR” and “LF”, as the
termination character. WHEN THERE IS A SINGLE PARAMETER:
“$” as a starting character, command, colon, 1st parameter, the control code,
“CR” and “LF”, as the termination character.
WHEN THERE ARE TWO PARAMETERS:
“$” as a starting character, command, colon, 1st parameter, colon, 2nd param.
- All of $, CR, LF: (colon) are fixed single byte, and the command part is fixed 3 bytes.
- The length of the parameter part is basically single byte. As an exception, only the 2nd parameter is 2 bytes for the volume setting command.
- If a command containing a failure in the command part or format is transmitted to this unit, $ER1[CR][LF] is returned from this unit.
- If a command containing a failure in the parameter part is transmitted to this unit, $ER2[CR][LF] is returned from this unit.
- When a timeout error occurs on the receiving timer (30 seconds) between each byte, $ER3[CR] [LF] is returned.
REMINDER
When commands are successively transmitted, keep 300ms or more between
successive commands that are transmitted to this unit.
Examples of sequence
- Examples are shown below. Refer to the next page or later for further information on commend.
- For a setting command (a command starting with S): an echo is returned.
- For a query command (a command starting with Q): the command with a parameter added is returned.
- For a change notification command {a command starting with C): if a change targeting this unit @ detected, a command is issued.

- Parameter of ALM command.
- When want to MUTE automatically as soon as possible in the place where a teacher left the classroom, do MUTE automatically in voice call areas; can set it. [about: 5M/10M/15M/20M] Please consult your dealer it will be set by serial communication command.
During SAA muting: microphone LED on the receiver will be off.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM | CAUSE/SOLUTION |
---|---|
No reception | Does the Power LED light? Check the connection between the |
receiver and the amplifier. Check the power of the amplifier is turned on.
Is the power of the microphone turned on (Is a battery loaded)? Turn on the
power of the microphone (load a battery) to put it into the transmissible
state.
No sound generated| Does the reception LED indicator for MIC1 or MIC2 light?
If the microphone is not normally receivable, the reception LED indicator does
not light.
The audio output of LINE IN is not provided. Is audio output of the device
connected to LINE IN ready to be provided?
No audio output of the microphone or LINE IN is provided. Isn’t the page mute
signal input provided to this unit? If the page mute signal input is provided,
the audio output from this unit is muted. The 3 LEDs of this unit light yellow
while the page mute function is activated.
Is the volume setting equipped in this unit set to the lowest level? The
volume of the microphones MIC1 and MIC2 and LINE IN equipped in this unit can
be adjusted by K-STD14 and through external communication control.
The volume of the mixing output fluctuates. When the microphone override
function is active, an audio input to the microphone (MIC1 or MIC2) attenuates
the audio level provided to LINE IN.
Audio interrupted| Is the feedback blocker activated? Adjust the speaker
output to the lower level so as to avoid the feedback.
LINK indicator (red)| It has been unable to register with the WAP. Please ask
an administrator.
LINK indicator (red)| System Error: Please ask an administrator.
LINK indicator (yellow)| Receiver Trouble: Please ask an administrator.
RCV repeats the reboot| RCV and WAP connection might be off: Please contact
your administrator.
