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.

'''Stand-mounted speakers''': Because these stands can be moved anywhere in the room, the speakers need to be in the front to be used most effectively. In some classrooms, you may need to reposition the speaker as part of the class session. | '''Stand-mounted speakers''': Because these stands can be moved anywhere in the room, the speakers need to be in the front to be used most effectively.

* Check to make sure the Digimaster speaker is powered on and has power. There is a power switch on the bottom and a barrel-shaped power connector which provides power to the speaker. When the speaker is powered on, a blue light will appear in a band underneath the word Phonak at the top of the speaker. If the light does not illuminate when you toggle the power switch to on, check to make sure the power connector is firmly in the socket. Then check the other end of the cable where it goes to the rectangular power brick. Make sure the power cable to the wall AC socket is pressed firmly into the power brick, and lastly, verify that the AC power cable is plugged into a working AC socket. | |||
* On the Roger Touchscreen mic, bring the mic within 4 inches of a powered-up Digimaster speaker and tap the Connect icon on the touch screen. When the mic successfully connects, a message to that effect will appear on the touch screen.[[File:ConnectIcon.jpg|none|thumb]]<br /> | |||
