WIRELESS MICROPHONES

The iris LiveView captures teacher and student audio using 

two HD wireless microphones. To capture audio, remove 

the microphones from the charging 

compartment. 

Charging Time

The two wireless 

microphones can 

be charged by 

docking them 

into the wireless 

microphone 

compartment on 

the base of the 

iris LiveView camera. The mics can be used 

for 6 to 8 hours on a full charge. Recharging a 

fully depleted mic will take about 4 hours.

Microphone Placement

The teacher mic (usually mic 1) should be worn on a lanyard or 

clipped to a shirt and should be no more than 8 inches from the 

teacher’s chin. The student mic can be deployed in the middle or 

perimeter of the room to capture student audio. Ideal placement 

of the student mic will depend on your needs. However, as a 

general rule, the closer the microphone is to your subjects, the 

clearer the audio will be.  Placing the student mic in the center of 

your student group will likely yield the best results.

Two-way Audio (real-time coaching)

Use the earpiece provided by thereNow, or another compatible 

earpiece (2.5mm), by plugging it into the bottom of the teacher 

mic.  This will allow the remote observer to speak directly to the 

teacher.

Microphone Pairing Instructions

The wireless mics are paired to the camera upon shipment from 

thereNow. Should they become unpaired with the iris LiveView 

camera, please follow the instructions below to re-pair. 

Note: If mics flash green and yellow, continually, the batteries are 

low and should be charged before repairing. If mics continually 

flash red, yellow, green (in sequence) they are not paired and the 

instructions below should be followed. If mics flash green they are 

working and do not require re-pairing.

To repair the microphones with the iris LiveView camera:

1.  Turn MIC off. To turn MIC off, hold down button on MIC until 

MIC light turns solid red then let go. MIC light should now be 

off. If MIC light is still on, repeat this step until the MIC light is 

completely off. 

2.  Use pairing buttons on top (or side) of camera base to pair 

MIC. Hold down corresponding MIC pairing button (1 or 2) 

until light turns solid red, then let go. 

3.  Hold down button on MIC until the MIC light turns solid red 

then let go. MIC light will start flashing red, yellow, green.

4.  Wait about 30 seconds while the MIC pairs with it’s 

corresponding channel. When the pairing is complete, the 

MIC light and pairing light on the camera should be flashing 

green together. This means that the MIC is paired and on. If 

MIC light is ever flashing red, the MIC is muted. Push the MIC 

button to un-mute.

5.  Repeat steps for second MIC if needed.

Note: Two-way audio will only work through  the MIC 1 channel. 

Accordingly, the teacher should typically use MIC 1.
