Important Safety and Usage Information CAUTION: As would be the case with any audio device, such as headphones or a headset, that carries amplified sound to the ears, misuse of such a device or use at excessive volume levels may cause hearing impairment or loss of hearing.
INTRODUCTION The 6700HD Wireless Drive-thru Audio System is designed to deliver a clear drive-thru conversation. The Push-to-Talk feature is a basic headset operation that allows customer communication by holding a headset button to talk and listen. The headset button is released to disconnect (see below).
STANDARD EQUIPMENT These instructions are for installation of standard SYS6700HD equipment and most commonly used optional equipment. Specific instructions may also be enclosed with optional equipment. IMPORTANT! If you haven’t already done so, before proceeding with the installation, set up the battery charger and plug it into an AC electrical outlet, and charge all the batteries in it while other equipment is being installed.
BATTERY CHARGER SETUP Power Adapter Plug the cord from the provided +5VDC power adapter into the top of the battery charger as shown in Figure 1, and then plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Be certain to use the power adapter that was packaged with the battery charger.
In the event of an electrical power outage — If you experience problems with your HME equipment after the electricity returns, unplug the equipment and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
CE Base Station Adaptive Frequency Hopping Background The HME SYS6700 wireless system utilizes 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.

4.3.2 Aux Sync Multi-Base Synchronization Configuration The purpose of Multi-base synchronization is to allow Ø multiple Bases at the same location to operate without interfering with one another. It does this by synchronizing and separating the frequency hopping sequences used by the Bases.

Synchronize Bases 1. On the Master Base select Menu. Ø 2. Select Register Headsets. × 3. Select Register Multi. NOTE: Unlike registering headsets, the Master Base will not display visual feedback that Aux Bases have been successfully registered. The Master Base will stay in Multi-registration mode for just 5 minutes.
CAUTION: If you do not use HME audio cable, be sure the speaker/microphone wires you use are a twisted pair. For full-duplex installations, the speakers and microphones must use separate cables or audio feedback will occur.
Register Headsets to Base Stations Register one headset at a time (at least one) to each base station, one at a time. With the labels provided, label the headset with its registered base number. Up to 15 headsets can be registered to a base station. Replacement headsets must be registered before they can be used.
Page 20
It is best NOT to use this option during store business hours. If you experience difficulties registering headsets: In the USA, call HME Technical Support at 1-800-848-4468. Outside the USA, call your local HME representative for assistance. Sections...
Base Station Installation Bases must be mounted and installed at least 6 feet from one another. Discuss the location of the base stations with the store owner or manager. They should be mounted less than 10 feet from an available electrical outlet and away from grease and large metal objects. Also, they should be mounted near eye level, so the display screens will be easily visible and the control buttons will be accessible.
