If the system does not give cue signals when any of the handset buttons are
pressed, check the RF level indicator on the rear of the MicroCue main unit (see
figure 2). If this shows a signal is being received, this confirms the handset code
needs to be ‘learned’ by MicroCue 2 (see ‘Learning Handsets’ Section).
Handset Timeout. To ensure maximum battery life and to comply with
international Radio Frequency regulations, the handset will only transmit for a
maximum of 5 seconds if any button is pressed and held down.
Headphone Connection. Plug a set of stereo headphones into the cue tone
output socket on the rear of the main unit (see figure 2). Whilst pressing any cue
button on the handset repeatedly at 1 second intervals, adjust the volume of the
cue tones for a comfortable level, using a small flat screwdriver through the
aperture underneath the main unit.
The cue tone audio output mini jack socket connections are as follows (mono out
on stereo head phones):
Tip: Signal out
Ring: Ground
Sleeve: No-connection
Presenter Control Selector Mode. MicroCue 2 will start up in the default dual
Control mode (A and B illuminated). In this mode and with MicroCue 2 connected to
the computer via the USB port (see figure 2), the presenter can control their
PowerPoint presentations on 2 computers directly from the handset. Pressing the
front panel button will change to Operator Control mode (button not illuminated)
and MicroCue will only signal cues via the visual display on the main unit and the
cue tone audio output. Selecting the button again will enable USB “A,” another
press of the button will cycle to USB “B”. A further push will enable both USB
connectors together as at start up
NOTE: It is recommended that you always fully test Presenter
Control mode with the computer thoroughly during rehearsals!
‘Learning’ the Handset. MicroCue 2 uses coded transmission data to identify each
handset. This ensures that only those handsets programmed to each MicroCue 2
will be able to send cue signals, making it impossible for the system to receive
false cue commands. Up to 16 handsets can be programmed to each MicroCue 2
main unit if required.
To learn the handset coding, momentarily press the ‘Learn’ button on the
underside of the MicroCue 2 main unit using a suitable tool (e.g. a ball point pen or
similar). The LED will illuminate to confirm the system is ready to learn a new
handset. Press any button on the handset to send a cue signal to MicroCue
2 . The
LED will extinguish and the visual display on the front panel will confirm the cue
has been received.
