Introduction The SMART Audio 240 system amplifies the teacher’s voice so that students who sit in the back of your classroom hear you as clearly as those who sit in the front. The audio system makes speaking to the class more comfortable because you don’t need to strain your voice to get your students’ attention.
There are transmitters on the microphones that transmit an infrared signal. To ensure optimal performance, don’t cover or block the infrared transmitters. There must be a clear line of sight between the microphones and the infrared sensor in order for the audio system to work properly. Microphone Chargers If you use the included rechargeable batteries, you can recharge the microphones by connecting a microphone charger when the battery indicator light changes from green to red.
