IVS Tips
| Make sure all the keypads are fully charged before you start a session. It is recommended that you charge the keypads during night. |
| Always transport the keypads without display with the charging contacts upwards. |
| Always check whether there is an other IVS system active in the same building. If so make sure different channels will be used. |
| Always Initialize 25 keypads at once, this way you will keep track of the initialization of the keypads. |
| After initialization, always save a list with keypads. You can use a list to restore the communication. |
| If you want to reset the keypads, you will have to place them in the charging case for 5 minutes, never use the option reset keypads. |
| Do not change the channel after initializing the keypads. |
| Do not put the keypads during a session in the charging case. If you want to collect the keypads, you can place them on a table. |
| Determine what you want to know from your audience. Make sure you audience can answers the questions correctly, if necessary send some preliminary information. |
| Prepare your presentation a couple of days ahead, check it the next day and have somebody else look at it. You will prevent “silly” mistakes and uncertainty. |
| Determine the questions you want to ask and set for each question a goal: What do you want to measure? Does the question reach its goal? Do all the questions reach the goal of the presentation? |
| Explain the functionality of the IVS and if desired the use of the keypads to your audience. |
| Ask a unimportant test question, your audience will get acquainted with the system. |
| Make sure your reference questions are relevant and effective ( What is your age? What is your line of business? What is your position? ) if you want to make crossings. |
| If you want to discuss the answers or crossings durings a presentation, only do so if you had the opportunity to interpret them in advance. |
| Walk through your presentation using “test voting”, this way you will make sure all the technical settings are correct. |
| Make sure the phrasing of a question is sort, clear and open for one explication. Split if necessary the question. |
