TIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE

Determining optimum placement of the pods

• Pods should be placed in the approximate center of the group

• They can be placed on the center of a table or on the ﬂoor where the

students are sitting.

• The microphone is designed to pick up students in a 360 degree radius, so

it also operates best when in the middle of a group.

Managing equipment and charging

• Leave all components in the on position.

- When you place them on the charger, they will charge as normal.

- When you remove them from the charger to start the day, they will be

fully charged and ready for operation.

• Assign students to manage the charging of the group speakers.

- Have one assigned student remove it from the charger to start the day

and place it back on the charger at the end of the day.

• If using the LS Remote App, always leave the remote control on the charger

to ensure it maintains its link with the Access ampliﬁer and iOS device.

Determining proper volume levels

• This system is not designed to make the teachers voice louder, but to

distribute it appropriately so it is heard clearly by the selected group of

students or the whole class.

• The pods are designed to be used independently, so turning the volume up

too loud can result in bleed-over to another group.

• Typical volume levels at a group speaker are about half of the maximum

setting – approximately 12:00 on the dial.

• It should be loud enough that students in the desired group hear you as

though you were speaking directly to them at a distance of 3 feet.

• The classroom speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, but

clear throughout the whole room. Typically 12:00 on the Access ampliﬁer

‘Microphone Volume’ control is appropriate.

CHARGING PODS #9-12

Charging:

• Connect the included charging cable(s) to any of the USB CHARGING

OUTPUT ports on the back of Activate Station.

• Connect the other end of the cable to the Micro USB port on the pod.

• The red charge light on the Pod will light to indicate charging has begun.

• When fully charged, the light will turn green.

If your system was equipped with more than 8 pods, those additional pods will

need to be charged using the provide USB cable from the back of the Activate

Station.
