BATTERIES
Turn the
microphone
ON using the
ON/OFF switch
on the side of
the LightMic
and speak
normally. Set
the channel
switch to A.
Plug the
LightMic
back into
the charging
cable to
recharge at
the end of
the day.
A CH B OFF ON
Speak in a natural voice. A normal conversational speech
level will provide an adequate signal. It is not necessary to
increase the intensity of your voice—the audio system provides
adequate amplication (approximately 5 – 10 dB) above
ambient room noises.
Avoid wearing jewelry that may rub or bump against
the microphone.
Turn the LightMic off during private conversations with a
student, parent, or other classroom visitor. You can also cover
the LED lens on top of the LightMic to block the signal.
Recharge batteries each night. When recharged nightly,
operating time (actual usage) for the transmitters will last
through a typical school day.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations on your purchase of the FP 100 Infrared Wireless
Microphone System! This simple, yet powerful technology adds the
benets of Classroom Audio to an existing amplier and speakers. This
system will seamlessly integrate into a sophisticated A/V control system.
With its small footprint, the FP 100 can mount in any discrete location—
whether it is an audio visual cabinet or below-ceiling tray.
The FP 100 is a compact, two-channel receiver that allows the use of up to
two wireless microphones simultaneously in the classroom. A standard IR
sensor provides high quality reception in rooms up to 1600 square feet. By
connecting additional 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 microphone that is
clipped to a lavaliere cord and worn around the neck for teacher use, or
it can be used as a standard handheld microphone for students to pass
around when speaking.

from the microphone is detected.
5. DC POWER INPUT: Plug the 24V
power supply into this jack.
6. CH. A AUDIO OUTPUT: This
balanced audio output can be
connected to a microphone or line
input on a mixer/amplier to
amplify the audio signal from the
CH. A transmitter.
7. CH. B / MIXED AUDIO OUTPUT:
This balanced audio output sends
the audio from the microphone set
to CH. B. Both CH. A and CH. B
