Installation Notice

Your FrontRow Symbio system is a precision wireless audio instrument designed to improve students' ability to perceive the teacher's voice.

We strongly recommend having your system set up by a professional installer who is familar with FrontRow systems (contact your representative for referrals to installers in your area).

If you choose to install your FrontRow Symbio system yourself, take great care to follow the instructions in the Symbio Installation Guide found at www.gofrontrow.com/support/ product-guides . Achieving the best performance from your system is only possible by properly selecting and positioning sensors. Improper installation can result in poor performance.

Basic System Guidelines

To help ensure that you get the most from this system, follow these basic guidelines:

Microphones:

Proper pendant microphone placement will allow you to comfortably wear your microphone all day and ensure the best sound quality.

Speak at a normal level when using your pendant microphone; the system is projecting your voice for you.

Use a student microphone (sold separately) to create a more dynamic learning environment by amplifying a student's voice when they are reading or presenting.

Do not use two microphones on the same channel.

Your FrontRow Symbio receiver is designed to accept audio from two microphones simultaneously, but they must be on separate channels.

Batteries:

Install batteries in your equipment now, then charge overnight before initial use.

Charge microphone batteries every night. Our Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries last the entire school day between charges, but should be charged every night so they are ready to go in the morning.

Replace microphone rechargeable batteries after 12 months of use to avoid poor performance and possible equipment damage. Only use special "silver sleeve", auto-sensing batteries supplied by FrontRow.

Avoid battery corrosion.

Charge then remove batteries if your transmitter will not be used for several weeks.

Alkaline batteries may be used if you forgot to charge your transmitter the night before. NEVER attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. To ensure proper charging, always be sure that only "silver sleeve", auto-sensing batteries are installed.

The crossed-out dustbin indicates that waste electrical and electronic equipment may not be disposed of with unsorted household waste and that it must be collected separately.

In developing and manufacturing your Phonic

Ear product, we used high-quality materials and components that can be reused. Thus, when disposing of your waste electrical and electronic equipment, you must use a collection system designated for this purpose, regardless of whether you dispose of your waste at your local waste site or it is collected from your home. Please contact your local authority for further information.
