Voice Amplifier Set-Up
Zyteq’s voice amplifier, the Zavox Reo is reliable and effective if set-up and maintained correctly. There are
four microphone options are available; the headset, lapel, unilateral earpiece and transdermal (throat)
microphone. Usually the most suitable microphone is selected for individual ongoing use.
The key to successful use of the voice amplifiers is fitting, positioning and settings.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure a positive experience in voice amplification.
1.
Start with the voice amplifier turned OFF.
2.
Position the amplifier on the person; usually the amplifiers are worn around the waist, or around the
neck, or they may be positioned on the arm of a chair or attached to a wheelchair.
3.
To
PREVENT FEEDBACK:
the amplifier and microphone need to be positioned a distance from each
other, and are best facing away from each other. Feedback may also be caused if the volume setting is
too high.
4.
Position the microphone support (headset / earpiece, neck band/lapel clip) on the user. The
microphone should be positioned 1 to 3 cms from the mouth. A microphone positioned on the lapel is
too far away from the mount, particularly if the user has low volume speech. A lapel microphone will
need to be hand-held close to the mouth for effective positioning.
5.
Ensure you push the microphone connection into the microphone jack on the voice amplifier firmly to
connect it securely. Crackling noises or a lack of amplification may be a sign that the microphone is not
connected properly.
6.
Once the amplifier and microphone are in place on the person, the unit can be turned ON and the
volume increased to the appropriate setting
7.
ZAVOX REO – automatically returns the volume to ZERO, each time the unit is turned OFF. So start
speaking e.g. counting to 10 while pressing the + button to increase the volume to the desired setting.
8.
The voice amplifier should be turned OFF when not in use to preserve battery life.
If
FEEDBACK

-
turn the volume down
-
position the microphone closer to the mouth
-
turn the amplifier away from the microphone

increase the distance between the microphone and amplifier
