Congratulations on the purchase of your new FrontRow To Go™active learning
system!
You may have heard the term ‘sound field’ used to describe technology that improves
classroom acoustics. Your FrontRow system fits under this category, but we call it
an ‘active learning system’ because the benefits affect much more than just sound.
Active learning systems can help engage students, improve attentiveness to the
teacher, build learning success, reduce the achievement gap, foster control and
orderliness, improve test scores, and reduce vocal strain and fatigue for teachers.
Numerous studies show that classrooms using active learning enjoy better student
comprehension, increased student participation, better grades and fewer behavioral
referrals.
Read this manual carefully to become familiar with your system and to get the most
out of its many features and options.

IMPORTANT!
Be sure to charge your FrontRow ToGo speaker and transmitter units overnight – for
a minimum of 12 hours – before turning the power on and/or using them for the first
time. Failing to do so may reduce battery capacity.
Basic setup tips
First – Identify a front corner of the room – the location from where the teacher
normally teaches.
Second – Take a good look around, paying
close attention to power outlet and other
electronic equipment locations. Ideally, the
speaker should be placed at a 5 ft./1.5m
distance from other electronic equipment,
such as computers or radios.
Third – Determine whether to mount the
speaker on the wall as shown (diagram 1), or
place it on a sturdy surface using the table
stand (diagram 2). In either case, the speaker
