Cradle/Docking Station Features; Multi-Vehicle Operation - Pyramid WM-1000 Product Manual

3.1 Cradle/Docking Station Features

WB-1000 is a dedicated base and charger that interfaces seamlessly to most popular mobile radios.
When the WM-1000 transmits, the WB-1000 receives the transmission and in real time keys the Mobile
Radio retransmitting the conversation back to the radio network (dispatch). When the mobile receives a
transmission, the WB-1000 base retransmits back to the WM-1000, extending the range of the wireless
microphone equal to your mobile two way radio.
Important: To configure (Pair) a WM-1000 to any WB-1000, insert the desired WM-1000 into the WB-
1000 and press the "PAIR" button on the WB-1000 to program the WM-1000 for this Base unit.

3.2 Multi-Vehicle Operation

When the WB-1000 is first activated, it listens on the channel for beacons from other WB-1000 units
that maybe be in the area. If no beacon is heard, it will assume the priority status and be ready to
repeat Base-to-portable (BTP) or Portable-to-Base (PTB) traffic within 6 seconds. If there is another unit
already on scene, the arriving WB-1000 unit will go into a 'standby monitor' mode where it keeps track
in a table of all WB-1000 units on the scene.
Each WB-1000 sends a beacon at a 4 second interval. This beacon is used to communicate with the
other WB-1000 units and provide status update for which unit is in priority to non-prioirty units. This
method of determining the priority unit is referred to as ESP II .
