Figure 9. CRS-PMIC Pendant Mic/Charger CRS-PMIC PENDANT MIC/CHARGER FEATURES The CRS-PMIC Pendant Microphone can be used as a wireless microphone itself or as an IR Transmitter when used with the Lapel or Headset Mics. 26. MIC INPUT – One, 3.5mm mini jack connects to the mini plug on either the CRS Lapel Mic or Headset Mic. When either is connected to this jack, it overrides the Pendant Microphone, so only the Lapel Mic or Headset Mic will be active. 27. CLIP – Clips the Pendant Mic

Figure 12. Typical Classroom Application INSTALLATION CRS-CASE The CRS-CASE can be wall or shelf mounted. It should be located in a central location that allows the IR Sensors to be equally spread in the classroom for optimum visibility to the microphones. Consideration should also be given to locating the CRS-CASE in close proximity to any audio source that will be connected to the Line In, such as a CD/DVD Player, Projector, Computer, VCR, Cable, Satellite, etc. It should be

Wall Mount The CRS-CASE has two screw keyholes on the Bottom Panel that allow it to be secured to a wall or cabinet. (Figure 2) Whenever possible, the screws for the keyholes should be secured to a wood panel instead of drywall to avoid having the screws work loose over time after repeated use of the CRS. If use of a wood panel is not possible or desirable, use screw anchors to secure the mounting screws to the drywall. There is an additional, smaller screw hole in the CRS-CASE Storage Sp

Figure 14. Typical CRS System Connections CONNECTIONS The CRS-101 System requires only a few simple connections and sets up in minutes. The only required connections are the IR Sensors, Speakers and Power Cord. Connecting an optional audio source such as a CD/DVD Player, VCR, Computer, Projector, Cable, Satellite, etc is also simple using standard RCA- RCA audio patch cables. IR Sensors 1. Connect the CRS-IRS IR Sensor mini plugs to any two of the three IR Sensor Inputs on the CRS-

Line In 1. Connect the left and right line level audio outputs of an audio source to the L and R Inputs on the CRS-CASE using a stereo RCA-RCA patch cable with gold ends. NOTE: Though the CRS has Left and Right Inputs, the Speaker Outputs are mono, so BOTH channels will be output from BOTH speakers. 2. Feed the audio patch cable through the Wire Access in the CRS-CASE Cabinet to allow connection with the door closed. TV/DVD 1. Connect the left and right line level outputs of a TV/Proje

OPERATION 1. IF TURNING THE SYSTEM ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, turn the VOL Knobs all the way down (full counterclockwise). 2. With all system connections confirmed, press the Power Switch to turn the system ON. 3. If using the Lapel or Headset Mic, connect to the Pendant as shown in Figure 16. Be sure the Pendant is pointing toward the IR Sensors so the IR Pulses from the Pendant will be ‘seen’ by the IR Sensors. 4. Turn the Hand Held Microphone (or Pendant) ON. 5. Set the MAIN VOL Knob on t
