Congratulations on your purchase
of the 800iX Infrared Wireless
Microphone System! This simple, yet
powerful technology provides the
abilitytoaddthebenetsofinfrared
microphone technology to existing
ampliersortoLightSPEED’spopular
880iR and 850iR systems to create
up to a four-channel solution for
the classroom.
The 800iX is a two-channel receiver
that allows the use of up to two
additional microphones simultaneous-
ly. A standard IR sensor can provide
high quality reception in rooms up to
1600 square feet. By connecting addi-
tional infrared sensors to the receiver,
the coverage area can be expanded
to provide optimal reception in varying
roomsizesandcongurations.
The LT-71 LightMic is a two-channel,
rechargeable transmitter that is
clipped to a lavaliere cord and worn
around the neck for teacher use, or
it can be used as a standard hand-
held microphone for students to pass
around when speaking.

2. Firmly snap the C-clip on the back
of the IR sensor onto the plastic

plug hanging down (if a wall
mount) or toward the receiver
location (if ceiling mount).
3. Uncoil the sensor wire. Screw one
end of the sensor cable to the
