OPERATING MODE
This device allows 2 president operating modes to be selected: CONLY and CFREE.
-CONLY: this mode deactivates all the delegate microphones when the president PRIORITY button has
been pressed.
-CFREE: this mode allows 5 seconds of president microphone priority starting when the PRIORITY button
is pressed. The delegate microphones can be activated after 5 seconds have passed providing that its
configuration allows it.
And 2 delegate operating modes: FIFO and LIMIT.
-FIFO: this mode deactivates the first delegate microphone to have been activated when an input request
is received from another delegate microphone providing that the number of active microphones is the
maximum permitted by the mode. This mode has 4 submodes to indicate the maximum number of
delegate microphones that can be active at the same time: 1MAX-FIFO, 2MAX-FIFO, 3MAX-FIFO and
4MAX-FIFO.
If the selected mode is the 2MAX-FIFO, when there are 2 active delegate microphones and a third wishes
to speak, the one which was activated first will automatically be deactivated.
-LIMIT: this mode will not let any other delegate microphone be activated when the maximum number
permitted by the mode has been reached until one of the active microphones has been deactivated. This
mode has 4 submodes to indicate the maximum number of delegate microphones that can be active at
the same time: 1MAX-LIMIT, 2MAX-LIMIT, 3MAX-LIMIT and 4MAX-LIMIT.
If the selected mode is the 2MAX-LIMIT, when there are 2 active delegate microphones and a third one
wishes to speak, this cannot do so until one of the previous ones has been deactivated.
Note: the active mode by default is CFREE-4MAX-FIFO.
CONFIGURATION OF THE MAIN UNIT
Once this unit has been switched on, the conference system configuration information display shows the
selected operating mode and the microphone transmission channels.
It is possible to modify these values by pressing the SET button to select the value you wish to modify, and
pressing the w/sbuttons to modify the value of each setting.
The microphone signal transmission channel can be selected manually, as described in the previous
paragraph, or automatically. For automatic selection you must press the SET button until the channel you
wish to configure flashes on the screen. Then, press and hold the SET button until the current value
disappears and shows two dots“ ·· ” in its place. Wait a few seconds while the system scans all the channels
in order to choose the most appropriate.

Advanced configuration
With the device switched off, press and hold the SET and POWER buttons simultaneously to enter the
advanced configuration mode. This mode allows modification of the values: ROOM, TEST, D1, D2 and D3.
When you have finished the configuration, press the POWER button.
-ROOM: this setting can have 16 different values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E or F). This value
must coincide in the main unit and in the microphones for its correct data communication. It is
recommended that this value is only modified when there are several systems in the same building
operating at the same time; thereby avoiding interference in the communication between the main unit and
the microphones.
-TE T: it is recommended not to modify this value.
-D1, D2 and D3: these settings allow the receiver delegate channels 1, 2 and 3 to be modified. This device
assigns the channels to the delegates depending on the last one active, which means, to activate a second
microphone revise the status of channel D1; by activating another microphone the D2 status will be
revised, etc. If the channel is damaged the system will block the channels after the damaged channel. In
order that the device ignores the damaged channel and uses the subsequent ones, this channel must be
deactivated using the D1, D2 and D3 settings. Use the 0 value to deactivate the channel and 1 to activate it.
Locking the configuration buttons
The configuration button can be locked by pressing SET and the w b���o�. To unlock these buttons, press
SET and the s button.
Player/recorder
This conference device player allows you to play any audio file whether it is from a mobile device via its
bluetooth receiver, a USB memory or from other devices connected by USB cable such as computers. it also
records on a USB memory stick the audio received from active microphones during a conference.
To navigate through the menus, use the buttons {y }and press button 12 to select the required option. A
long press of button 12 will return to the main menu and a long press of the MENU button will take you to
the recording mode.
The main menu of this player/recorder has 5 options:
- MUSIC: to play audio files contained in a USB memory stick.
- REC: to record a conference in a USB memory stick.
- BLUETOOTH: activates the bluetooth receiver to connect a mobile device and send audio wirelessly.
- USB AUDIO: to play audio files from a computer connected by USB cable.
- SYSTEM SETTINGS: allows adjustment of the backlighting and contrast of the information display,
change the language, display the version of firmware installed and reset the factory settings.
During playback of the audio tracks, by pressing the MENU button, we are able to configure the options
relative to the player. The options are as follows:
- REPEAT: allows different repeat modes: repeat all, repeat folder, repeat one or random.
- EQUALIZER: offers different equalizations: natural, pop, rock, jazz, classic, soft or DBB.
- FILE BROWSER: allows selection of folders or files contained in the USB memory.
- ENTER MAIN: to return to the main menu.
To record the audio from the active microphones, you only have to insert a USB memory stick and select the
REC option from the main menu. Then, press button 12 to start/pause recording.

COMMI IONING THE MICROPHONE
Insert the batteries in the wireless desktop microphones and switch them on by pressing and holding the red
button which is on the right side of the microphone base.
The display will show information such as: the battery status, the wireless connection status, the microphone
volume, the microphone status, the signal transmission channel, the ROOM to which it is connected and the
microphone identifier.
Both the ROOM as well as the identifier can be modified. The model CI-760P also allows the chimes
connected to priority to be activated/deactivated. To do so, with the microphone completely switched off,
you must press and hold the red power button and the MUTE button simultaneously. Then, you can press
the VOL-/VOL+ buttons to modify the value and MUTE to save it and move on to the next setting.
The LED microphone ring will remain lit while the microphone is activated.
TIP FOR OBTAINING BETTER RE ULT
- Use the batteries provided or replace them with similar ones.
- Remove obstacles between the receiver and the transmitter.
- The distance between the receiver and the transmitter must not be greater nor less than 3 m.
- The receiver antenna must not be near to metal surfaces.
- The microphone capsule must be positioned about 10 or 15 cm away from the mouth of the person who
is speaking.
- The output signal level must not be very high, otherwise it will distort the signal. However, on the other
hand, if the output signal is very low, the s/n ratio will be decreased and the noise will be increased. To
adjust the output level to a correct value, we must adjust the mixer level to a standard level, for example,
0 dB gain and adjust the conference system output so that when we speak through the microphone in
a loud voice, it does not produce distortion.
- Switch off the microphone after use and if it is not going to be used for a long period of time remove the
battery.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER Y TEM
This device allows integration with video systems. To communicate between the two devices it is necessary
to connect them with an ethernet cable, R 45 DATA connector.
