DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System
Using the Discussion Units

Attach the Touch-Button Overlay

Attach the touch-button overlay to each unit for basic microphone control. The discussion units use soft buttons
that change functionality when programmed to different unit types. Button overlays are supplied with the discus-
sion unit or with the central unit.
Warning: Overlays are not reusable. If a unit needs to be reconfigured, carefully remove the overlay and apply an-
other one.
1. Choose an overlay for the unit.
2. Remove the protective paper from the back.
3. Place the overlay in the recess on the front of the unit.

Securing the Microphone

To lock the microphone into place, use the supplied hex key and turn counterclockwise.
DIS GM: Simply insert the microphone into the XLR socket. Adjust the gooseneck for proper position.
Shure MX4xxRLP: Attach the AC 5901 XLR/Microflex adapter to the microphone. Insert the adapter into the XLR
socket of the flushmount unit.

Program the User Type

DDS 5900 discussion units are programmable, changing the function of the control buttons to support different
user types. The three types are chairman, delegate, or interpreter, each requiring unique control functionality. The
setting is stored in the unit, and persists after a power cycle.
Note: Flushmount units are not programmable as interpreter stations. Use the portable DC 5980 P unit for simulta-
neous interpretation.
Flushmount Units
To program the flushmount DC 5900 F discussion unit as a chairman or delegate, simply attach the button overlay.
The overlay automatically programs the unit with the correct button functionality.
Reboot the system once all the overlays are attached to establish the configurations with the CU.
