3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 9 installation tips Before you set your system up, take a good look around your room. Where are the outlets located? Where are the computers and other electronic equipment? Where can you put your speaker so it's easy for you to reach, but out of the way of students and main traffic areas? Though each classroom is different, there are some general guidelines for speaker placement: The speaker should be at the front of the classroom at least 6 feet/1.
3850 Radium216ug wnew FCC label 4/5/04 4:51 PM Page 10 basic system guidelines To help ensure that you get the most from this system, we have put together a list of suggested guidelines. Charge transmitter batteries every night. Our rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride batteries last approximately 12 hours between charges, but should be recharged every night so they are ready to go in the morning. Plan on buying new NiMH batteries after 12 months of use.
