Wireless microphones

OIT will set up and configure the wireless microphones to work with your conferencing unit. All units and wireless microphones are paired together and cannot be used in other conference rooms.

Please do not attempt to move the wireless microphones. If you need assistance, please contact the IT Service Desk.

Using your microphone(s)

To start using the microphones, simply remove them from the charging station and place them at your desired location.

NOTE: Pressing Mute on any device connected to the conference phone will mute the entire system. For example, if you have two wireless microphones connected to the same base, pressing Mute on one microphone will mute both microphones and the base.

Charging your microphone(s)

Please make sure you return the microphones to the charging station when not in use.

  • When the units are fully charged, the green light will be on

  • When the microphone needs to be charged, the red light will be on.
