Congratulations on your purchase
of the 880iR Classroom Amplifica-
tion System! This simple, yet power-
ful technology provides crystal-clear
sound throughout the classroom,
allowing every child to hear every
word every time.
As the teacher speaks into the
LightMic pendant-style transmitter,
his or her voice is transmitted to the
880iR and then amplified through the
loudspeaker(s). The standard system
includes the 880iR infrared receiver/
amplifier, LT-71 LightMic™ transmit-
ter, SR-70 infrared sensor and speaker
package.
The 880iR is a two-channel receiver
amplifier that allows the use of up
to two microphones simultaneously
and up to four additional audio input
sources (such as TV, VCR, DVD, CD,
MP3, etc.). In addition, LightSPEED
offers various speaker options that
are included with your system to pro-
vide optimal sound in rooms of
all shapes and sizes.
The LT-71 LightMic is a wireless, pen-
dant-style transmitter. This two-chan-
nel, rechargeable unit is clipped to a
lavaliere cord and worn around the
neck for teacher use, or it can be used
like a standard handheld microphone
for the students to pass around when
speaking.

Fine-tuning the Graphic Equalizer:
1. Verify that the EQ is set to match the recommended setting for the specific
speakers installed in the classroom (settings included with the speaker install guide).
2. Walk around room (near speakers) and listen for squealing or feedback.
3. Lower the 2K5 and/or 4K sliders if a high-pitched squealing is present.
4. Lower the 400 or 700 sliders if a low-pitched ring is present.
5. Reduce volume if feedback is still present.

1. Lift the ceiling tile nearest the
grid rail in your desired sensor
location. Guide one side of the
C-clip over one edge of the grid
rail. Providing firm support to the
back of the grid rail with one hand
(to prevent bending), firmly and
carefully snap the second side of
the C-clip over the edge of the rail.
2. Uncoil sensor wire. Connect one
end of the sensor cable to the plug
on the sensor. Loosely secure wire
overhead and route it back to the
880iR.
3. Connect the other end of the
sensor cable into one of the sensor
inputs on the back of the 880iR.
IR SENSOR INSTALLATION
1. Screw the plastic mounting
strip to a place high on the
wall or in the middle of the solid
ceiling. Mount the strip horizon-
tally as shown above.
2. Firmly snap the C-clip on the back
of the IR sensor onto the plastic
mounting strip with the sensor
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
plug on the sensor. Route the
wire back to the 880iR,
securing it along the way.
4. Connect the other end of the

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Battery Check
• Confirm batteries are charged
each night.
• Make sure the LT-71 is turned off
while charging so that it will attain
a full charge. Full charge will last
eight hours.
• Make sure the charge cord is
connected to the cradle charger.
• Inspect the battery contacts. Clean
and adjust if necessary.
Hearing Static
• Ensure sensor is in optimum
location (refer to sensor placement
in manual). A single sensor will
cover a 1600 sq. ft. enclosed
classroom.
• Ensure that no other LT71/HM70 is
operating on the same channel.
• If an external microphone is in use,
try another LightMic that is known
to be working (if available) to isolate
the problem. If static persists with
“known good” microphone, the
LT-71 input jack has damage and
will need service.
Low Volume or Feedback
• Ensure microphone is positioned
appropriately, just below the collar
bone. If a headset microphone is in
use, the end of the mic boom
should be positioned at the corner
of the mouth.
• Check volume level on the ampli-
fier. If the volume is too high, feed-
back WILL occur. Adjust accordingly.
No Sound From Speaker
• Turn the 880iR on. Confirm that
the POWER light located on the
front panel switch is on.
• Confirm signal is being received
at the amplifier. The IR signal
light will be lit (red) indicating a
signal is being received.
• Confirm microphone is function-
ing. Next to the IR signal light is
the AF signal light. This light will
flicker (green) as audio is picked
up by the microphone indicating
activity.
• Ensure speaker switch on the
amplifier is in the “ON” position
for each speaker that is connect-
ed to the amplifier. Check con-
nections on both the amplifier
and speaker.
• Confirm that the speaker wires
are connected correctly to the
back of the 880iR (refer to
speaker install guide) and make
sure that the speaker switch for
that output jack is in the ON
position.
If you review these instructions and still have questions, write down the serial
number and model number of your system and call LightSPEED Technical Services
at 800.732.89p9, 6:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. PST.
Note: Most problems are directly related to low battery power. Please run
through the “Battery Check” items first. For remaining troubleshooting,
use known good, fully-charged batteries.

The 880iR can be left on, but must
be connected to AC power in order
to charge the microphone.
2. Connect the loose end of the
charging cable into the jack labeled
CHARGER on the side of the HM-70.
Connect the larger end of the
charging cable to one of the
CHARGERS jacks on the back of the
880iR. The HM-70’s rechargeable
batteries are factory installed.
3. The power indicator light next to
the power switch glows green when
the cable is connected and charg-
ing correctly. The light goes out
when fully charged. Batteries
will charge in 8 to 12 hours. A fully
charged battery will run for up to 8
hours of continuous operation.
4. The HM-70 can remain charging
for up to 10 days. Overcharging
will shorten battery life.
The HM-70 does not use a cradle for charging.

7. SPEAKER ZONING: These switches
turn the corresponding speaker
(connected to the same numbered
jack on the back of the unit) on
or off.
• Speaker Zoning: By “zoning” or separating the classroom into different areas
where audio may or may not be desired, the teacher has greater flexibility
controllng the dispersion of sound throughout the room. Zoning is especially
useful in large or odd-shaped classrooms
• Speaker Volume Control: An area of the classroom might contain a noise
emitter such as an HVAC system. In this case, it may be necessary to turn up
the volume of the affected speaker to overcome the noise in that area. When
this situation arises, the 880iR allows the user to fine tune the output level.

2. Determine the size and type of audio input
jack on the device as many manufacturers’
products differ in connector size and
shape. The LightSPEED LES-370 Personal
FM System requires a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm
patch cable (part# CA-MMC3535, not included).
5. With the 880iR and ALD turned on, speak into the
LightMic and slowly adjust the corresponding “ADJ”
volume control until the appropriate audio level is
attained in the ALD’s receiver headphones.
1. Turn the ALD (Assistive Listening Device) volume control on
the back panel all the way down (fully counterclockwise).
3. Connect a patch cable from the ALD’s microphone
jack or AUX input to the 3.5 mm audio jack labeled
“ALD OUT” on the back of the 850iR.
4. Adjust the volume control on the ALD’s receiver
to maximum output. NOTE! This is to set the
maximum allowable signal from the 850iR.

PageFirst: Emergency Page Priority
This optional feature interfaces with an independent classroom paging system. When the page is
broadcast, the system is muted, ensuring important and even emergency school-wide messages
are never missed.
How it works:
1. PageFirst sensor clip is hung around the lead wires attached to the in-room paging speaker.
2. The clip is hard-wired to the LightSPEED 880iR.
3. As a page is broadcast, the sensor clip detects the audio signal though induction and
immediately mutes the 880iR.
4. When the page is over, the audio to the 880iR returns to normal.
(For full installation instructions refer to the install sheet included with the optional PageFirst sensor.)

charging cradle comes standard with
the 880iR for daily charging of
the LightMic. If desired, the LightMic
can also be charged directly from
the cable by plugging it into this
charging jack. 3. With both the 880iR and audio source power on, adjust the
corresponding volume control on the front panel until the
desired level is achieved. NOTE! Be careful to not overdrive the
volume to the loudspeaker(s), as this can cause potential damage.

PageFirst: Emergency Page Priority
This optional feature interfaces with an independent classroom paging system. When the page is
broadcast, the system is muted, ensuring important and even emergency school-wide messages
are never missed.
How it works:
1. PageFirst sensor clip is hung around the lead wires attached to the in-room paging speaker.
2. The clip is hard-wired to the LightSPEED 880iR.
3. As a page is broadcast, the sensor clip detects the audio signal though induction and
immediately mutes the 880iR.
4. When the page is over, the audio to the 880iR returns to normal.
(For full installation instructions refer to the install sheet included with the optional PageFirst sensor.)

3. Grip the barrel of the HM-70 in the
center section just below the power
switch. Avoid gripping the HM-70
around the bottom, covering the
infrared emitters circling the base.
This could interrupt signal trans
mission from the microphone to
the receiver.
4. Speak directly into the microphone
at a normal level. Slowly increase
the B VOLUME until you can just
hear your voice.
5. Slide the switch to the OFF position
to turn off the HM-70. (Make sure the
power indicator light is off.)
The Channel A/B switch is located
inside the battery compartment.
The switch is set to Channel B at
the factory.
1. Slide the power switch on the side
of the HM-70 all the way up. The
power indicator LED will glow red
and stay on.
2. The center position of the power
switch is MUTE. When in this mode,
the HM-70 is transmitting a signal,
but no audio can be heard through
the system. This is useful if you
wish to temporarily turn audio off
during a private conversation.

of the input sources will mute. When the teacher quits talking or the LightMic is turned off, the
audio returns.
This feature allows the teacher’s voice to be heard over the other audio being played
through the 880iR. The three position switch has the following functionality:
