Operation And System Test - Firecom 4100 Operation Manual

OPERATION AND SYSTEM TEST

Once the unit has been charged and the headsets connected, you are ready for operation. Put headsets on and
adjust for good performance and a comfortable fit as indicated in your headset manual. Follow the steps below for
clear hands-free communication between all persons wearing a headset.
Step 1. Power On
The 4100 Portable Intercom System is battery powered. To operate, activate the power switch located on the front
panel (figure 2). The power light indicator on the front panel should illuminate. If the low battery light illuminates, the
battery will need to be charged. See Charging the Battery in this manual. The intercom will automatically turn off
when the case is closed.
Note: The unit must be fully charged before first use. See Charging the Battery in this manual.
Step 2. Volume Controls
Portable Intercom headsets come with individual volume controls for each user. In addition, there are volume
controls for each entrant team and the attendant on the main unit (see figure 2). To adjust the volume, turn the
control knob clockwise to increase volume and counter clockwise to decrease.
Step 3. Identification Area
An erasable identification area is provided for each of the (4) entrants, seen in figure 2. A grease marking pencil is
used for writing in these spaces and can be found on the interior lid of the intercom case (see figure 1). Examples
of notes include entrant's name and time of entry.
Note: Use a clean dry rag or mild soap and water to erase identification areas.
Step 4. Alarm Buttons
Each Firecom Portable Intercom headset comes with an alarm button. If a headset is plugged into one of the (4)
entrant headset ports and the headset alarm button is depressed, a warning light will illuminate on the front panel
indicating which entrant has activated their alarm and an audible buzzer will sound (reference figure 2). The alarm
is cancelled by depressing the alarm reset button on the front panel.
Note: The accessory and attendant ports do not have alarm function capabilities.
Step 5. Mute Button
The mute button should be checked at the start of operation. When the mute button is depressed, the standby
team will not be heard by other participants or on their own headsets. However, the standby team will hear
communications between all other participants. The mute button will illuminate when activated. To deactivate the
mute feature, depress the mute button (see figure 2).
