The Wireless 6000 is a wireless audio system primarily for use at quick-service restaurants. An optional vehicle detector board can also be used with the system. As you unpack the Wireless 6000, check the packing list for each item to verify receipt of all components and equipment listed.
Nine level controls are used to set VAA level, Vehicle tone level, audio source levels at the grill speaker, outbound audio source levels at the outside speaker and the inbound level from the speaker post microphone. Figure 2. Wireless 6000 Base Station...

Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons. a. Power On/Off • Power On – Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message in the earpiece will say “power on,”...
4. COMMUNICATOR Registration Prior to operation of the Wireless 6000 system, each Communicator must be registered for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Communicators when their power is on, differentiating between them and interfering transmissions from other electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies.
5. Battery Removal and Replacement Battery-release latch ® Figure 6. COMMUNICATOR battery-release latch TO CHANGE BATTERIES: When a battery is becoming weak, a voice in the earpiece will say “Change battery.” When this happens, take the Communicator out of its pouch and remove its battery by carefully sliding the battery-release latch in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 6.
1.2.3 Battery Charger IMPORTANT: Before installing the system, connect the AC adapter to the battery ® charger and plug it into an AC electrical outlet. Place all the COMMUNICATOR batteries into it for charging while the system is being installed. 1.
3. Battery Charging • Insert battery in one of four charging ports until it clicks in place. • Battery charging time is approximately 2 hours. • Yellow light next to each battery port stays on while port is empty. When battery is in port, yellow light flashing next to battery port indicates CHARGE PENDING, which means the temperature where the charger is located is out of the battery’s operating range (32 -104...
If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However, because the Wireless 6000 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely. If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem. If not, move the phone as...
AC electrical outlet and place all COMMUNICATOR batteries into it for charging while the other equipment is being installed. Approximately 3 hours is required for installation of the Wireless 6000. Before installing the system, coordinate the time of installation with the store owner/manager to minimize disruption of business.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 2.3.1 Base Station Installation Discuss the location of the base station with the store owner or manager. It should be mounted with the bottom of the cabinet no more than 5 feet (1.52 meters) above the floor, away from grease and large metal objects. It must be near enough to an available AC electrical outlet to reach the outlet with the 10 foot (3 meter) AC power adapter cord.
Never run high-voltage cables in the same conduit with audio or loop cables. The recommended HME cable contains four color-coded, insulated wires and a bare shield (drain) wire. This cable can be used to connect any Wireless 6000 component to the base station.
2.3.3 Outside Speaker and Microphone Installation and Cable Connections This section describes standard, full-duplex installations, using the standard microphone and the SP2500LP Low-Profile Speaker. Specific installation requirements may vary. Refer to the wiring diagrams on pages 25 — 28 for cable connections. Although the standard microphone and SP2500LP will provide optimum performance, in some cases the DM1 Microphone may be used.
• Open the speaker post and remove any existing equipment, foam or debris. If there is an existing microphone, remove it and disconnect the microphone cable from it. • Splice the wires of the microphone cable (new or existing) from the audio system to the wires of the cable extending from the microphone unit, according to the audio system...
Keep in mind that the SP2500LP must be mounted at least 2 feet (610 mm) from the microphone, center-to-center. • Hold the rear panel of the SP2500LP flat against the surface of the speaker post or menu board, at the desired mounting location, as shown in Figure 16.
2.3.5 Optional HME Vehicle Detector Board (VDB) Installation To install an HME VDB in the base station, follow the instructions below. • Open the base station by pushing the latches on the front cover and VERY CAREFULLY guiding the cover downward.
2.3.6 External Message Repeater Installation If an external message repeater is used, it must be wired in series with the outside speaker. It also requires a vehicle-present signal. Connect the message repeater vehicle-present input to the isolated vehicle detector output on the Audio Circuit Board. NOTE: No output detect will be generated if the base station power is removed.
Refer to page 22 for “Red Message Control” and “Green Message Control” switch functions and message recording instructions. If a System 30 Timer is installed with the Wireless 6000, the timer alert output can be used to trigger tones in the headset or a message to be played by the message repeater.
NOISE REDUCTION ADJUSTMENT When the ClearSound feature of the Wireless 6000 is turned on, it provides four levels of noise reduction. It can be adjusted for the best balance of noise reduction and voice quality possible, considering the store’s environment.
The COM6000BP can be operated in Hands-Free (HF), Auto-Hands-Free (AHF) or Push-To-Talk (PTT) modes. If your store does not have HF capability, the Wireless 6000 should be operated according to section III. A. 3. below in single-lane stores, or section III. B. 3. (page 9) in dual-lane stores.
3.3.2 Dual-Lane Operation (two base stations operating two speaker posts) 1. Hands-Free (HF) Mode: ! With the power off, press and hold the volume-up and B buttons while pressing and releasing the PWR button to turn the power on in the HF mode. The Communicator will remember this setting. ! As a customer enters a drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep for Lane 1, double beep for Lane 2) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board if that lane is selected.
