ALL PROBLEMS: Most Problems are

related to low battery power.

SOLUTION: Battery Check
• Confirm batteries are charged

each night.

• Confirm proper batteries are

used. The REDMIKE requires
the Lightspeed BA-NH2A27
rechargeable sensing battery for
proper charging. The REDMIKE
Share uses the BA-NH2APK
rechargeable battery pack. The
LT-71 requires two BA-NH1 AA
rechargeable batteries.

• Make sure the microphones are

turned off while charging so a full
charge is attained. Full charge will
last eight hours.

• Inspect the battery contacts. Clean

and adjust if necessary.

PROBLEM: Hearing Static
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to

eliminate 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 REDMIKE/LT-

71/REDMIKE Share is operating on
the same channel.

• If the optional iR media connection

is in use, set the microphone to
Channel A.

PROBLEM: Low Volume or Feedback
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to

eliminate low volume or feedback.

• Ensure microphone is positioned

appropriately, just below the collar
bone.

• Check volume level on the

amplifier. If the volume is too
high, feedback will occur. Adjust
accordingly.

• Adjust the volume level on the

back of the optional REDMIKE VC.

PROBLEM: No Sound From Speaker
SOLUTION: Follow these steps to

produce sound from speakers.

• Turn the CAT 860 on. Confirm that

the POWER light located on the
front panel switch is on.

• Confirm signal is being received at

the CAT 860. The IR signal light will
be RED indicating a signal is being
received.

• Confirm that REDMIKE is turned

on. There will be a BLUE LED on
the microphone to indicate it is
powered on.

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.

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 800.732.8999, 5 a.m. – 5 p.m., PST.
