Quick Start Guide – Ovation™ (DECT System)
Getting to Know Your Sound System
Make note of the location of the speakers in your classroom. Ensure that you have unpacked and charged your battery-powered microphones. Keep this guide handy for future reference.
STEP 1. CHARGING THE MICROPHONES
Microphone Logo Light:
- Blinking Green: = Charging
- Solid Green = Charged
- Charging takes approx. 6-8 hrs.
- Battery typically lasts 8-9 hrs.
- Do not force mics into the cradle. Ensure microphones are aligned in the same direction facing the front as shown above.
- OC-20 is not for TeachLogic Infrared microphones, only Ovation.
OC-20 Charging Base Lights
Light: Solid Blue = Power ON- Mic Dock Lights: Solid Blue = Power Supplied to Mic
- Note: Mic Dock lights and charging power will turn off after 16 hours.
WHEN REPLACING BATTERIES IN THE HANDHELD MIC, ONLY USE RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERIES from TeachLogic!
STEP 2. SETTING UP THE MICROPHONES
1. Power the amp ON by pressing the power button. The power button LED will illuminate solid blue when powered ON.
2. Set the MIC A and MIC B volume controls to the 12 o’clock position.
3. Pendant Mic: Connect the lanyard to the metal clip and place around neck. Adjust lanyard so the top of the mic sits on your collar bone. Set the gain switch on the side:
- If room is noisy: set at “Normal”
- If room is quiet: set at “Quieter”
4. Turn “ON” the Pendant Mic via the front button; tap once to turn on. Press and hold front button and side switch for 3 sec. to put in pairing mode. Mic LED will fast blink green when in paring mode.

6. Once connected, have another person move around the room while you are talking to verify the volume level is sufficient in each student seating location.
7. Have the other person give you a thumbs up or down and adjust the amplifier volume level accordingly until you reach the ideal level.
8. While talking, walk around the room to ensure Volume is not set so high as to produce feedback (howling) anywhere.
9. Handheld Mic: Repeat this process using the MIC B channel to set the ideal volume level. Turn “ON” the handheld mic by tapping the power button once. To enter pairing mode, press and hold the Push to Talk (PTT) button and Power button at the same time for 3 seconds. When in pairing mode, mic will begin to fast blink green. Continue from Step 5 above.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. System is turned on but there is no LED indicator light
- Check if system has been unplugged.
- Verify that electrical outlet is generating power.
2. System has power (LED indicator blue) but no sound
- Make sure microphone is on and connected (Solid Blue).
- Ensure the mic pairing button light is illuminated solid green.
3. Voice is distorted or sound drops
- Ensure amp and antenna are placed waist height or above and antenna is not blocked by any metal or thick objects.
- Avoid covering mic with hands.
4. Receiver does not “wake up” from standby
- Volume of external device may be too low when played.
- Microphone not on or not paired.
5. Knobs on front of amp do not change the volume of inputs
- Check back of amp to ensure the RS-232 switch is in the “OFF” position unless using external RS-232 controller.
