The Freedom 2 Infrared Amplification System is one of the best infrared sound
amplification systems available today. No
matter the application, the Freedom 2 Infrared
Amplification System is a welcome addition to
your classroom. At Lifeline, we know your
school will see the benefits of this system from
the first day you turn it on. Students will hear
the clarity and volume of the teacher’s voice.
Their ability to concentrate will increase.
This means on-task behavior will increase
as well. And that translates into a better
learning environment.
This manual has been designed to provide
clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up
the system for the first time, as well as for
troubleshooting potential problems. Simply
follow the directions and use the photographs
and diagrams as a guide.
An equipment checklist is provided noting
the pieces included in the Freedom 2 Infrared
Amplification System and any additional
equipment needed for set-up.
Each piece of equipment in the system is
detailed in a separate section. This is done
to familiarize both the set-up person and the
teacher with the components. This manual
also provides information to help users
understand how the pieces fit together to
complete the system.
At the end of the manual, there is a
section entitled “Troubleshooting.” This
section is designed to help solve the most
common system problems associated with
set-up and usage.

6. POWER LED
When the on/off switch is
in the “ON” position the
power LED should glow
red. If it does not glow red
this typically means a low
battery.
7. EMITTER
The emitter must be plugged into the IRB-10 trans-
mitter and either attached to the clothing via the
clip or worn around the neck with the lanyard.
8. EXT. MIC
The provided microphone cable and mic must be
plugged into the IRB-10 transmitter. Multiple dif-
ferent microphone options are available from
Lifeline Amplification Systems including collar and
headset mics.
9. CHARGING JACK
The charging jack is used to charge the battery.
The WH-1 charging cable, rechargeable batteries,
and battery charger are included in with your
Freedom 2 Infrared System.
TRANSMITTER
3
1. FREQUENCY SELECTION
The IRB-10 can be set to transmit on either one of
two preset frequencies. This is so that two different
teachers can teach in the same room (team teach-
ing). It is also so that you can use a lapel mic and
handheld mic in the same room. While it does not
matter which frequency is chosen, two wireless
systems (microphones) can NOT be on the same
frequency at the same time. To select the desired
frequency (channel) slide the switch (1) as shown
on the back of the battery door. All systems come
pre-set to channel 1 for ease of use.
2. POWER MODE SELECTION
The IRB-10 has two power modes- “LO” and “HI”.
These modes can be selected via a power switch (2)
inside the battery compartment. The system comes
factory pre-set to the “HI” position. The only reason
to turn the power mode switch to the low position is
if the range you need is less than 15 feet or you are
experiencing low battery problems.
3. MICROPHONE GAIN
The microphone gain (volume) can be adjustable if
you experience a lower volume level than desired.
The microphone gain control is found on the inside
of the battery compartment (3). A tool has been
provided(inside the battery compartment) to adjust
the gain if necessary. Adjustment of gain control
should only be necessary if you have already tried
to adjust the volume on the amplifier and you are
still experiencing low volume.
4. BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Two AA Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable
batteries have been included with your Freedom 2
Infrared System. These batteries should last
several hours per day for a period of at least one
year. The number one cause of battery problems is
overcharging a battery. Be sure to never charge
your battery over 72 hours. Always use Lifeline
Amplification Systems rechargeable batteries
for best results.
5. ON/OFF SWITCH
Turns the transmitter “ON” and “OFF”. If you are
not going to use the unit for more than 15 minutes,
turn the unit “OFF” to conserve battery life.

2. MIC IN, CHANNEL 1
This accepts the black, three-foot Lifeline cable
(included) from a source such as a wireless receiver.
3. VOLUME FOR MIC IN, CHANNEL 1
This controls the volume for everything plugged
into Mic In, Channel 1.
4. MIC IN, CHANNEL 2
This accepts the black, three-foot Lifeline cable
(included) from a source such as a wireless receiver.
5. VOLUME FOR MIC 2
This controls the volume for everything plugged
into Mic In, Channel 2.
IMPORTANT: This is also the volume control for
the phono/auxiliary input, located on the back of
the amplifier. The phono/auxiliary input will not
work if the Mic In, Channel 2 input jack has a
unit plugged into it.
6. TONE
This control changes the tone of all pieces that
may be plugged into the amplifier.
Adjust the tone control knob to make the teacher’s
amplified speech sound natural. The low numbered
settings add more bass (low frequencies). The higher
numbered settings add more treble (higher frequen-
cies) to the amplified signal, i.e. speech, music, etc.
REAR VIEW
7. PHONO/AUXILIARY INPUT
Standard RCA stereo patch cables connect a
turntable, CD player, tape deck, TV monitor, etc.,
to the phono/auxiliary input.
When a turntable is in use, the switch must be
set in the “Phono” position. For all other devices
plugged into the phono/auxiliary input (CD players,
TVs, tape decks, etc.), the switch must be set in the
“Auxiliary” position. NOTE: The phono/auxiliary
inputs will not function if Mic In, Channel 2
already has something plugged into it.
The volume control for items plugged into the
phono/auxiliary input is the Mic In, Channel 2
volume control.
8. SPEAKER TERMINALS
These ports are used to insert the speaker
cables into the amplifier.
9. FUSE
The fuse is located within the cap of the fuse
holder. If the fuse should fail, IT MUST BE
REPLACED WITH A FUSE OF THE SAME
TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO
PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY. If
the amplifier repeatedly blows fuses, contact
your Lifeline distributor.
10. AC POWER CORD
The power cord must be connected to a
120-volt standard electrical outlet.

1. Take an inventory of all the pieces supplied for
the Freedom 2 Infrared Amplification System.
This should include:
•1 Lifeline Amplifier
•1 Wireless Infrared Transmitter and Receiver
w/Lapel Microphone, Mic Clip and Mic Cable
•4 Lifeline Speakers with Mounting Brackets
•150 Feet of Speaker Cable (provided in bulk
for easy cutting to desired lengths)
•1 Three-foot Lifeline Patch Cable
•32 Heavy-Duty Mounting Snaps (if mounting
brackets are not used)
•2 AA Nickel Metal Hydride
Rechargeable Battery
•1 AA Battery Charger
•1 Charging Cable
•1 Neckloop
•1 Lanyard w/Emitter
•1 External Sensor
2. Look carefully at the room where the system will
be installed. Where will large group discussion take
place? Because the Freedom 2 Infrared
Amplification System is intended to amplify the
teacher’s voice for large group discussion, the
speakers should be positioned for maximum benefit
to students in that large group discussion area.
Speakers should be placed at students’ ear levels.
For best results, divide the large group discussion
area into four equal parts. Each of the four speakers
should be placed in the room in order to serve 1/4th
of that large group discussion area.
3. Place all four speakers in their optimal locations.
Do not permanently attach them at this time.
(Assembly of brackets are shown on pg. 9)
4. The amplifier and receiver must be placed in
a convenient location for daily use. Both the
amplifier and receiver will need to be plugged into
electricity. Remember infrared is line of sight. Place
the receiver in a location where nothing will block
the signal from the teacher.
5. Plug the amplifier and the wireless receiver’s
power supply into outlets next to each other. The
opposite end of the power supply (the end not
plugged into the outlet) must be plugged into the
receiver. The receiver can sit on top or next to the
amplifier. Be sure the mic/line switch on the back
of the receiver is set to in the line position. If you
are plugging into an outlet strip, be sure NO other
items beside the Soundfield Equipment is plugged
into the strip (Example: computer, TV, VCR, etc...).
6. The black three-foot Lifeline patch cable can
now be used to connect the amplifier and the
receiver. Plug the patch cable into the Mic In,
Channel 1 input on the amplifier, and into the
Output jack on the back of the receiver.
7. It’s easy for you to connect the speakers to the
Lifeline Amplifier. We offer two simple methods
that can be used. The daisy-chaining method and
the independent method. Both are diagrammed on
page 7. Look at the wiring diagrams for both meth-
ods and determine which is best for your classroom.
After the four speakers and the amplifier have been
placed in convenient locations, the speaker cable
can be strung and the speakers connected to the
amplifier. Read the Daisy Chaining and
Independent Connecting directions and
diagrams on the next page before cutting
or stripping any wire.
8. Take the 150’ of supplied speaker cable and start
with one speaker at a time. Run the cable from the
amplifier to Speaker 1, carefully placing the cord
where it can be concealed (along walls, under
chalkboards or furniture, etc.). Allow one extra foot
of cable (beyond original measurements) for the
speaker. The excess can always be cut away later.
9. Using a pair of wire strippers, begin stripping
about two inches (2’’) of the ends of the cut cables.
The wires themselves look the same when the
plastic coating is stripped away. For purposes of
connecting, the wires will be differentiated by their
plastic coatings. One wire is coated with plain
coating, and the other wire has a blue stripe
running through the coating.
10. After all ends have been stripped, connect
the speakers to the amplifier, using either the Daisy
Chaining Method or the Independent Connecting
Method:

Take the stripped end of the speaker cable nearest
the amplifier, and pull the wires apart about two
inches. Place the blue striped wire into the back of
the amplifier in the black, spring-loaded
terminal. Push down firmly on the bottom half of
this terminal to make an opening for the wire to
enter. Place the plain wire into the red, spring-
loaded terminal next to it, on the top row of termi-
nals. Both wires for Speaker 1 must be on the
top row of the amplifier.
Next, follow the cable from the amplifier (now
wired in) to Speaker 1. Repeat the splitting process
by pulling the wires apart two inches. Take the end
of the speaker cable for Speaker 2 and split it.
Twist the wires together (blue stripes with blue
stripes and plains with plains). Place the twisted
blue striped wires into the back of Speaker 1 in the
black, spring-loaded speaker port. Place the plain
wires into the back of Speaker 1 in the red, spring-
loaded speaker port.
Repeat the splitting and twisting process,
making sure the plain or striped pairs are always
twisted together the same way and are plugged
into the same (top) ports consistently.
Connect or chain the amplifier to Speaker 1 and
onto Speaker 2. Then, repeat the process, starting at
the amplifier, chaining Speaker 3 to Speaker 4.
+With Option 1, all plain and striped pairs must
be inserted into the top row of spring-loaded ports
on the amplifier.
OPTION 1 DAISY-CHAINING
Independently connecting the speakers to the black
and red terminals on the back of the Lifeline
Amplifier is a simple task as described above for
the daisy-chaining method. Take the stripped end
of the speaker cable nearest the amplifier, and pull
the wires apart about two inches. Place the blue
striped wire into the back of the amplifier in the
black, spring-loaded
terminal. Place the plain wire into the red,
spring-loaded terminal next to it, on the top row
of terminals.
Next, follow the cable for Speaker 1 from the
amplifier (now wired in) to the speaker itself.
Repeat the splitting process by pulling the wires
apart two inches. Place the blue striped wire into
the back of the speaker in the black, spring-loaded
terminal. Place the plain wire into the red, spring-
loaded terminal next to it.
Repeat this stripping process, inserting the cable
for Speaker 2 into the amplifier and then to
Speaker 2. Complete Speaker 3 and finally Speaker
4. Each speaker will be independently connected to
the amplifier. Make sure that the wires are always
inserted consistently into each of the black and
red ports. If the blue striped wire from the speaker
is placed into the black terminal in the amplifier,
the blue striped wires must be connected to the
black terminals on the speakers.

11. Place in the battery compartment the 2
rechargeable AA batteries that have been included
with the system. These AA batteries typically
need to be charged for at least 6 hours before
using them for the first time. Be sure the batteries
are installed properly (+ and - polarity). The proper
polarity is on the inside of the battery compartment.
Use only the rechargeable batteries supplied by
Lifeline Amplification Systems.
• The number one cause of battery failure is
overcharging the battery. Never leave a battery
charging over extended breaks (spring break,
Christmas vacation, etc.). Overcharging the battery
will cause battery life expectancy per day to be
less and the battery will not last as long
(meaning throughout the year).
12. Attach the emitter (1) to your clothing using the
clip on the back of the emitter (2) OR use the
lanyard with your emitter as shown (3). Either
way will work fine.
13. Using the mic clip attach the microphone
to either your clothing, the provided neckloop,
or attach to the lanyard (6). Be sure the microphone
is no more than 6 inches from your chin no matter
which method you use!
14. Adjust the controls to the proper settings:
a.) Receiver: 10 o’clock
b.) Amplifier: tone 2-5
c.) Mic In, Channel 1: 2-5
d.) Receiver Channel 1 Volume: 9-11 o’clock
Final adjustments should be made with the user’s
voice, not with the person’s voice that is setting up
the system.
15. Turn the amplifier on. The red light
should be “ON”.
16. Turn the receiver power on. This power switch
is on the front of the receiver.
17. Turn the transmitter (in the pocket or clipped
to a belt) power switch to “on”. An audible “pop”
may be heard through the speakers. This is normal.
18. The user can now broadcast. The volume of
the user’s voice, throughout the room, should be
the same as if he/she were speaking one-on-one
to a student from a distance of two feet. Sit
at a student’s desk to check and adjust volume
from their perspective. Always set the volume
with the user’s voice.
19. Sound should change no more that 2db
throughout the room. If sound is consistent and
you are not experiencing any problems, you can
mount the speakers using either the provided
mounting snaps or bracket mounting hardware.
(Diagram on page 9)
20. DROPOUTS
Infrared signals are line of sight between the
emitter and the receiver. If you are experiencing
dropouts you need to install the external sensor,
as many systems require it. This in included with
the Freedom 2 Infrared System.
Installation of the external sensor:
A) Plug one end of the external sensor (end with
the RCA plug) into the back of the receiver marked
Ext. Sensor Inputs number 1. (Shown as #9 on page 5)
B) Next follow the directions as listed.
21. Once the proper settings of the components
have been determined for the room, write them
down, both for the teacher and the school
audiologist. Check the settings each week to
make sure they are still accurate for the needs
of teacher and students.

Troubleshooting Guide
Check the transmitter. Is the power indicator light, on top of the
transmitter, red? If not then charge or change
the batteries.
Check the sensor lights on the receiver. The red light next to the channel # on the receiver
indicates the power is on. If this is not on then you
are not receiving a signal from the transmitter. Check
the batteries. Also check to make sure nothing is
blocking the signal from your transmitter to the receiver.
Check the amplifier. Is amplifier power light on and shining brightly?
If not, check to see if the amplifier is plugged into
the electrical power supply.
Check the black, three-foot patch cable. Is the black patch cable plugged between
the amplifier (Mic In—Channel 1) and the
output on the back of the receiver? Be sure both
ends are plugged in firmly.
Check the settings for each component. Are settings correct and done according to the
teacher’s voice? They should be:
a.) Receiver: 9-10 o’clock
b.) Amplifier tone: 2-5
c.) Mic In, Channel 1: 2-5
Is the emitter in line of sight to the receiver? Move closer to the receiver and see if this
changes. If it does then increase the power
(as explained on page 3).
Check the tone on the amplifier. Lower the tone setting. In some instances,
the tone setting could be as low as 1.
Check the placement of the speakers. Speakers should be placed at the ear level of
the students. If speakers need to be placed higher
than ear level and feedback occurs, experiment
with different speaker angles.
Check the volume settings. a.) Receiver: 9-10 o’clock
b.) Amplifier tone: 2-5
c.) Mic In, Channel 1: 2-5
Experiment with different settings until the
feedback disappears.
