Important Safety Instructions
1

1. Avoid Abuse to the Power Supply
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug
the power supply from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
DO NOT disassemble the power supply.
Return the apparatus to FrontRow for
qualified service and repair if required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
DO NOT expose the power supply to rain,
snow, water, gas, oil, etc.
DO NOT operate the power supply if it
has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way; return
the apparatus to FrontRow for qualified
service and repair.
DO NOT block or cover the apparatus
and impede ventilation.
DO NOT expose batteries (battery pack
or batteries installed) to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, or the like or
excessive cold.
2. Proper Use of the Power Supply
and Wiring
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in
a risk of fire and electric shock. The cord
MUST be plugged into a grounded outlet.
Make sure it is properly wired, in good
electrical condition, and wire size is large
enough for AC ampere rating of the power
supply or charger. To reduce risk of damage
to plug and cord when disconnecting the
power supply or charger, ALWAYS pull on
plug - NEVER on cord.
Locate cord so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to
damage or stress. DO NOT lay extension
cord on charger. DO NOT operate the
power supply with damaged cord or plug -
replace them immediately.

Setup and Placement
Your Juno Tower will perform best when you place it:
• Even with either the front or rear edge of the main listening area (i.e. where students sit)
and
• With the speaker facing the center of the listening area (see Top View below).
Choose the location that allows connection to the teaching computer (4m USB cable provided)
and other audio sources (e.g. DVD player)

Listening Area
4.5 ft
(1.3m)
minimum
You can either mount the Juno Tower on a wall using a standard 100mm VESA mount
(recommended) or simply place it on a table using the stand provided. In any case, the bottom
edge of the Tower should be at least 4.5 feet (1.3m) from the floor.
If wall mounting, angle the tower down to point at the center of the listening area.
NOTE: For wall mounting instructions, please see the Juno Installation Guide available at
gofrontrow.com/guides-resources

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. (See pages 12, 13)
Volume Setting Guidance
Recommended:
Master Volume 18 - 20
Pendant Microphone Volume 5 - 6
Student Microphone Volume 4 - 5
System Integration Guidelines
Today’s modern classroom has a host of electronic devices used to support the instructional
environment. Many of these devices are connected together via a Personal Computer that typi-
cally acts as the control point for these devices. Projectors, Interactive White Boards, Document
Cameras, Paging Interfaces, etc, are all typically connected to a classroom PC. In addition to these
devices there are often other support devices used to make these connections.
Your new Juno Tower is another electronic device that can also be connected to your classroom
PC. But unlike the other electronic devices mentioned above, the Juno Tower contains a sensitive
Infrared radio receiver. To ensure that the Juno Tower is providing good performance, it is impor-
tant to follow good installation practices.
When the Juno Tower is connected to the classroom PC, it is now sharing a common ground ref-
erence with all the other devices connected to the PC. If one or more of the devices has a poor
or noisy ground reference, its poor performance can influence other devices connected to the
same reference and this includes your Juno Tower. To help ensure the best performance possible,
please refer to the installation guidelines below:
1. Connect the Juno Tower’s external power supply to a wall outlet. Do not use extension cords
and if a power strip is needed, ensure that it is of good quality.
2. Do not position the Juno Tower where sunlight can directly shine on the Tower. The Tower uses
infrared signals to link the transmitter to the receiver. Sunlight contains infrared energy and will
reduce the system’s performance.
3. Use good quality audio cables when connecting the Tower to the classroom PC.
4. The USB cable provided with your Tower System has been qualified by FrontRow. Use this cable
whenever possible. If another length of cable is needed, it must be certified for USB 2.0 or better.
5. Connect the USB cable directly to the classroom PC. Do not connect via an External USB Hub device.
6. Avoid running the USB and audio cables connecting your Juno Tower to the classroom PC with
other cables. Noise can be present on the other cables that can be transferred to the cables
connecting the Juno Tower to the classroom PC.
NOTE: Your Juno Tower has 2 ports for charging and programming FrontRow microphones. These
ports should not be used to connect other devices to your computer.
