Electrical Interference; Preparation For Installation; Tools Required - HME Wireless 6000 Installation Instructions Manual

2.1.2

Electrical Interference

The effect of electrical faults in appliances and other electrical equipment can make operation
of a wireless system ineffective in communicating with customers. The most common
symptoms are static, hum, crackling, buzzing and zip sounds in the headset when the system
is active. Interference caused by electrical faults in lighting systems might not be noticed
immediately, since most lighting systems are controlled by a timer or light-sensing device.
Faulty Wiring or Components:
Faulty components or electrical wiring in menu boards or speaker posts can cause symptoms
identical to those caused by AM interference. Remove power to the menu board or speaker
post at the circuit breaker until proper repair of the electrical system can be made.
Improper Earth Grounds:
Improper earth grounds throughout the building can result in random buzzing and zips in
the headset when operating in either channel A or B. Placing a surge protector between the
base station AC adapter and the AC electrical outlet will eliminate the problem in most cases.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: If you haven't already done so, before proceeding with the installation,
plug the battery charger into an 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.
Be certain the site has been properly prepared as follows.

Some type of compatible vehicle detector loop or other vehicle detector system must
already have been installed in the drive-thru lane(s).
