    Step 2. Note which of the following applies to you.  If using the DX100 with AC power  Plug the connector at the end of the AC power supply cable into the power connector on top of the base station. Turn the sleeve on the cable connector clockwise to secure it to the base station.
  • Page 13 DX100 should be rated at least 12VDC, 500mA. NOTE: Having a fully charged (or new) battery when operating the DX100 with AC or external DC power can prevent interruption of communication during a power outage. This allows the base station to seamlessly switch to battery power.

  • Page 14: Interference Avoidance

    DMX systems or other HME Base Stations use the same frequency band. If these systems can be limited to one portion of the band, then the DX100 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band. To avoid this type of interference, select the upper part of the frequency range on one Base Station (or more), and the lower part of the frequency range on the other(s).

  • Page 15: Multiple Base Stations

    Multiple Base Stations This mode of operation can be used to expand the number of users communicating through multiple HME Base Stations operating in the same portion of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz frequency band. Primary and Secondary Base Station Settings One base station must be designated as “primary”...

  • Page 16: Base Station Initialization

    Base Station Initialization For multiple HME Base Stations to operate without interference, they must be properly initialized before performing any other setups. After initializing each base station, register each Beltpacs/Headsets to that base according to the procedures on pages 13 - NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization.
  • Page 17 Step 9. Press the RESET button on the primary base, and let it recover. Step 10. Turn on the primary Beltpacs/ Headsets, and let them link. Step 11. Press the RESET button on each secondary base station (one at a time), and let it initialize to the primary base (indicated by a single bar).

    BELTPAC / WH220 HEADSET SETUP AND REGISTRATION The first time you operate the DX100 system, you must register each Beltpac and/or WH220 Headset for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Beltpacs/ Headsets when their power is on.
  • Page 19 If registration is successfully completed:  A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …”  After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Beltpac for about 10 seconds.

  • Page 27: Section 4. Advanced Frequency Hopping

    SECTION 4. ADVANCED 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 28: Operation In Severe Environments

    Operation in Severe Environments During normal operation, the fact that the system is constantly changing the channel list in use is transparent to the user. It is possible, however, that in an environment with severe interference that the system may experience a slight degradation.

  • Page 29: Interference Mitigation

    Physical separation. If possible, equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum should be operating as far as physically possible from the HME base station. A Wi-Fi access point or router is a common piece of equipment that could interfere with the DX100 system, or vice versa. These two pieces of equipment in particular should not be located close together.

    Beltpac unit. See pages 18-21. 2400MHz cordless telephone interference — If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However, because the DX100 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely. If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem.
