The Roger Touchscreen Mics hang from a wall-mounted hook adjacent to the Phonak speaker for easy access. Please put the mic back on the hook when you are finished using it and make sure to wipe it down with low-moisture sanitizing wipes before and after each use. Make sure not to get excess cleaning solution into the microphone ports (see the overview video above for the locations.) Do not spray a cleaning solution directly on the mic - spray a small amount on a cloth beforehand. Because you are not speaking into the Touchscreen microphone directly as you would into a typical handheld vocal mic, clean the touchscreen mic when you know it will be used by another teacher later, or if you are unsure if it has been used before | The Roger Touchscreen Mics hang from a wall-mounted hook adjacent to the Phonak speaker for easy access.

In most classrooms, the speakers have been wall-mounted. In some rooms, however, speakers will be ''mounted on stands''. It is important that the speakers are adjusted so they point towards the students in the classroom. Unfortunately, the speakers do not have the ability to be 'locked in place' to provide the optimal positioning. Please check each time you intend to use the Phonak system that the Digimaster speaker is pointed towards the students and not towards a wall or away from the students. | In most classrooms, the speakers have been wall-mounted.
