Juno can be a powerful teaching tool in any classroom. Numerous studies report tremendous benefits from the use of FrontRow audio systems, including doubled reading growth, greater student achievement, easier classroom
management, and heightened teacher energy. The clarity of sound with FrontRow systems also makes it easier for students
learning English to distinguish the different sounds of the language.

Your Juno Tower is equipped with a powerful Adapto™feedback suppression engine that helps avoid harsh squealing noise that would normally
occur when a microphone gets too close to a speaker. Nevertheless, try to use volume settings for daily use that give good audibility without
constantly activating the feedback suppression engine.
The chart below shows the volume settings for the Pendant and Pass-Around microphones that are adequate for a typical classroom environment
(600 - 900ft2/56 - 84m2). If more volume is required for a large or noisy room, you may notice the Adapto engine activating and at a high volume or short
distance, the engine may not be able to maintain a pleasant audio quality. If feedback occurs, move away from the Tower, remain behind it while talking,
or lower either the master volume or the volume for the microphone that is causing the feedback.
Volume Setting Guidance
Recommended:
Master Volume 18 - 20
Pendant Microphone Volume 5 - 6
Student Microphone Volume 4 - 5

Troubleshooting
The Battery Indicator on the Pendant or Pass-Around Microphone is
flashing green/red
• Make sure the unit is not excessively hot or cold.
• Remove microphone from charger for 5 minutes and then try again.
• The battery needs to be replaced
The Push-to-Talk function is not working on the Pass-Around
Microphone
• Verify you are pressing on the lower section of the switch.
• Verify the battery is charged.
No signal reception (display indicates inactive channel)
• Check that the microphone is on.
• Check that the microphone is not muted (ITM-02 only).
• Verify that you are not blocking either the emitters on the microphone
or the sensor at the top of the Juno Tower.
• If reception is interrupted when facing a certain direction, install an
additional sensor in that area of the room (see Installer Guide) or
adjust VoiceChoice settings.
• If using more than one microphone, verify that they are not on the
same channel.
Tower will not 'wake up' from standby mode
• Volume level on auxiliary audio device is set too low.
• Make sure microphone is on and working correctly.
When I turn the Tower on, all I get is a white screen on the LCD
• Turn the power off, wait 60 seconds and turn it back on.
Tower won’t turn on (LCD does not turn on)
• Verify that the power supply is plugged into both the receiver and a
working wall outlet.
• Verify the Tower power switch is on.
• Test with another power supply.
’Dead spots’ or
microphone crackling/noise
• Verify that you are not blocking either the emitters on the microphone
or the sensor at the top of the Juno Tower
.
• If reception is interrupted or noisy when facing a certain direction,
install an additional sensor in that area of the room (see Installer Guide)
or adjust VoiceChoice settings.
• If using more than one microphone, verify that they are not on the
same channel.
• There may be "noisy" electrical wiring. Install an AC line filter
(see Installer Guide).
Feedback (squealing)
• Lower the Microphone Volume control(s) on the Tower.
• Position the microphone closer to mouth.
• Verify that the Music Audio In option is not checked in the Microphone
Volume screen.
Weak or no output from speaker(s)
• Increase t he Master, Device or Microphone Volume control(s) on
the Tower.
• Position the microphone closer to mouth.

Charging light won't come on
• Check that the charger is connected to a working power outlet.
When playing audio from an audio device such as an iPhone™or other
MP3 player, I can hear background noise through the speakers
• Your device may be emitting a low level hum that is amplified by
the Juno Tower. Use a filtering cable such as a ground loop isolation
transformer cable to eliminate or reduce the noise.
My voice commands are not being recognized
• Make sure there is not excessive background noise while issuing
command
• Make sure the microphone is not being moved around, brushing
on clothing, buttons or jewelry.
• Make sure you are following the correct sequence when issuing
command.
