Wearing the Microphone

The transmitter may clip toyour belt or waist band of yourpants or you may put it in yourpocket. (No keys or coins inpockets.)

Clip the microphone to yourshirt around the middle of yourchest. (Not to the left or right)

Limitations of using theMicrophone

The microphone can only pick up what it hears:if you have a bad case of laryngitis it will not help.

Project your voice as if speaking to the first five or six

rows of students.

If you clip the mic to one side of your shirt, but then turnyour head away from the mic while you write on theboard, it will not work.

Because of the location of the speakers in some rooms(Example STM125) feed back may be a problem if thevolume is turned up too loud.

keys or other metal it may drain the battery.
