Page 13: Communicator
COMMUNICATOR Setup and Registration ® The first time you operate the DX410 system, you must register each Communicator (Belt Pack and/or All-In-One Headset) for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Communicators when their power is on and will differentiate between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies. - Page 14 All-In-One Headsets Changing Batteries When a battery weakens, a prompt in the headset will say “Change battery”. Remove the battery from the headset by pressing the blue battery-release latch. Battery-release latch Insert a fully charged battery in each Headset, with the battery’s (blue button) metal contacts inserted first.
- Page 15 ® Register COMMUNICATOR The Communicator must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station to enable registration. Be certain all headsets to be registered are turned OFF, and the base station power is ON. Place the headset on your head. Press the REG button on the front panel of the base station.
- Page 16 ® COMMUNICATOR Settings If you want to set up a Communicator with any of the special settings shown below, press and hold the specified button combinations during or after power up. These settings will remain in memory when the Communicators are turned off and on again.

Page 23: Eu Base Station Adaptive Frequency Hopping
EU BASE STATION ADAPTIVE FREQUENCY HOPPING Background The Clear-Com DX wireless intercom systems utilize a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio in order to provide robust communications. This system operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band. With the proliferation of other devices over the past few years in the same 2.4 GHz band, instances where these devices and systems can interfere with each other has greatly increased. - Page 24 Wi-Fi transmission at a fixed location. NOTE: If the Clear-Com system does not have AFH, then the base station should be set to operate in the region of the 2.4 GHz band where the Wi-Fi access point is not operating. For example, if the Wi-Fi access point is set to Wi-Fi channel 1, the base station should be set to operate in the ‘High’...
- Page 25 Spectral efficiency. Wi-Fi systems employ a standard sometimes referred to as 802.11. The number “11” is simply the number given to the standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (the IEEE). Modern Wi-Fi routers will allow operation employing the 802.11n mode. This mode will allow higher data rates, but it also may consume twice the number of radio channels.

Plug into 2-W power supply. If the lack of powered 2-W system is intentional (such as when using a Clear-Com MT1, or when daisy-chaining multiple base stations), open the base station cover and set JP1 (A) and/or JP2 (B) to 2-W LEDs remain red. -

Page 33: Appendix D: Interference Avoidance Through Spectrum Friendly
APPENDIX D: INTERFERENCE AVOIDANCE THROUGH SPECTRUM FRIENDLY Interference, which may be heard in a headset as popping sounds, may occur whenever other equipment such as Wi-Fi systems or wireless DMX systems use the same frequency band. Some systems can be limited to one portion of the band. If so, the DX410 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band. -

Wait until “c” appears on the display. NOTE: A “c” will only appear on the STATUS display if you are setting the frequency band the first time, or you are changing the setting. If you stop at L, H or A that was already set, an “8” will appear for a few seconds and the STATUS display will become blank. -
