81To use the Elite Omni-Directional Tabletop Microphone:1. Remove the microphone from the Charger Base. The microphone willautomatically turn on. Based on settings in the Base DSP, the microphonewill start either un-muted or muted, indicated by green or red blinkinglights, respectively.2. Omni Tabletop microphones can be centered on the table within 2 to 6 feet(0.6 to 2m) away from people speaking and do not need to be pointing anyparticular direction because they pick up sound from all directions. It isalways better to place a microphone as close to the people speaking aspossible, while avoiding placing the microphone where it might be blockedby equipment or paperwork. Do not place microphones too close to anaudio or video conference speaker to avoid echoes. Make sure that themicrophone’s rubber feet are sitting atop a flat surface.3. With the microphone in position on the table, see picture above for anexample, mute or un-mute the microphone by touching any of the fourmute areas (confirm by flashing green or flashing red LEDs, respectively). Inpush-to-talk mode, touch a mute area and keep the finger there to unmutethe microphone. Removing the finger from a touch area will mute themicrophone.4. To turn the microphone off, return it to the Charger Tray or touch and holdany of the Mute areas for about 10 seconds until the LEDs turn solid red,then remove the finger from the touch area. The microphone can also beturned off from the local web UI or the room control interface. In push totalk mode the microphone cannot be shut down using the mute areas.If the microphones are placed too far away from the Remote Antenna(depending on the RF power setting this can be 300 feet, 90 meters, or fartherfrom the Remote Antenna) the connection will be dropped (LEDs flash red-yellow-green-yellow) and the microphone will mute. After 15 seconds themicrophone will beep, and will continue beeping every 30 seconds to indicatingthat it is out of range.Move the microphone closer to the Remote Antenna and the connection willautomatically be re-established to its original state, and the beeping will cease.Otherwise, the microphone will continue beeping until it turns off after about15 minutes.
