How can I have Merlyn only respond to the teacher?
You can prevent Merlyn from responding to commands from everyone else in the room by turning off the Symphony Classroom’s microphone and using Push-to-Talk.
Press the mute button on your remote or Symphony Classroom unit
. A red light on top of the unit lets you know the system is muted. Merlyn will stop responding to commands and listening for the “Hey Merlyn” wake phrase.
Use the Push-to-Talk button on the remote to command Merlyn. Merlyn will only respond to whoever is speaking into the remote.
To turn the Symphony Classroom’s microphone back on, simply press the mute button again.
What can I ask Merlyn?
Refer to these commonly used voice commands.
Does Merlyn understand any other languages?
Currently, Merlyn only understands English.
How do I access my Symphony Classroom’s settings?
Press the Settings button on your remote or by saying “Hey Merlyn, open settings.”
What happens if my remote stops working?
First check the battery level by going to Settings and selecting the Remote option. If it is lower than 30%, try changing the batteries.
The remote may have lost connection and needs to be paired again. Say, “Hey Merlyn, pair my remote”. This will unpair any other remotes and pair yours again.
Contact your IT support to order a new remote if the previous suggestions have not worked.
Can Merlyn help me find my remote?
