Turn the power switch to ‘on’ and make sure the microphone equipment is on, by clicking the two switches to the right of the AV equipment system, also located in the middle of the system. A green light should appear next to these two switches. To regulate the volume of the microphones, each microphone has a corresponding sound box with a volume control dial up at the top of the AV equipment structure.
