    The synchronisation should be done by starting the systems in range of each others. If this function should always be accessible, the bases have to constantly be in range (for instance as fixed mounted bases). If the bases have been out of range of each others, it may take up to 20 minutes to get them synchronised again! • Press and hold UP [+] and DOWN [–] buttons simultaneously to transmit a short message. A double tone is confirming that the ALL-CALL is activated. The transmission period is limited, normally to max. 30 seconds. 4.4 LOCKED BUTTONS To avoid unwanted changes in the settings of functions, it is possible to lock all buttons, so that only the ON/OFF function is active. This can preferably be combined with the automatic talk mode function. (See also AUTOTALK above.)

  • Page 10: Power Supply

    6 POWER SUPPLY A main unit can generally be powered from a rechargeable battery pack DC2033. The external battery carrier DC2032, for 6 or 3 type AA batteries, can also be used to increase the usage time of the unit. Also, a main unit can be continuously power supplied in a power supply holder DC2068. 6.1 INTERNAL BATTERIES 6.1.1 BATTERY PACK The main units require a special Peltor battery pack DC2033. 6.1.2 CHANGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY PACK • Switch the unit off by pressing and holding the [M] button for approximately 2 seconds. A voice confirmation “POWER OFF” is given and the LED is turned off. Turn the clip aside and loosen the screw with a suitable tool (see figure 1). (n Warning: Do not use your nail! It may break.) Open the battery lid and replace the battery (see fig. 2). Push the battery pack down firmly to get the connecting plates in contact with the pins (see fig. 3). Hook the battery lid on to the bottom of the unit, close it, press down and tighten the screw again with the tool (see fig. 4). (n Warning: Do not use your nail! It may break.) n The message “BATTERY LOW” indicates that the energy in the battery is low and you should change or charge battery as soon as possible. n The message “BATTERY EMPTY” indicates that the energy in the battery is very close to empty and the unit will automatically switch off! 6.1.3 CHARGING AN INTERNAL BATTERY PACK A rechargeable NiMH-battery DC2033 has to be charged in a main unit with an appropriate Peltor charger/holder.

    6.3.1 AUTOMATIC RESTART OF A BASE UNIT With the Connector Sealing Plug DC2078 it is possible to have a base unit, which is placed in a power supply DC2068, automatically restarted after a power failure. Instead of a headset in the connector on top of the base unit, the “arm” of the connector sealing plug is pressing on the “MODE” button of the main unit, enabling automatic restart after shorter power outages. 6.4 MAINS ADAPTER There is also a separately sold mains adapter DC2061, with exchangeable European, UK and US type mains connectors, for the input of 100 - 240 Volt AC, 50/60 Hz. It may replace a faulty mains adapter for a charger/holder DC2064 or a power supply/holder DC2068. (It may also be used with a programming charger/holder DC2065, but which is only available for Authorized Peltor DECT-Com II Dealers.) 7 ANTENNAS 7.1 GENERAL ANTENNA A DECT-COM II main unit normally works with one of two antennas; one internal on the printed circuit board and one external antenna, mounted in a connector on top of the unit. The external antenna DC2041, which is delivered with all DECT-Com II main units, should normally be mounted on the main unit together with a plastic ring (see UNIT FUNCTION INDICATORS below). 7.1.1 UNIT FUNCTION INDICATORS A package DC2048 with 3 differently coloured plastic rings is enclosed in the box of each DECT-Com II main unit. The rings are meant to seal around the antenna connector, but also to indicate the function of the unit; for instance a red ring for a base unit, a green ring for a portable unit and a black ring for an “other” unit. 7.2 OMNIDIRECTIONAL VEHICLE ANTENNA If a base unit is placed inside a vehicle, the omnidirectional antenna DC2046, with magnetic foot, can replace the external antenna DC2041 to improve communication with portable units outside of the vehicle. Contact your Authorized Peltor DECT-Com II Dealer*) for the following options!
