Operation
Once a BTR-240 or BTR-24 is running, the TR-
240 may be switched on at anytime. The TR-
240 has key features that can be set during boot
and after the unit has booted. These settings
include the following:
• Mode of Operation
• Local Headset Configuration

Setting the Beltpack Mode
The TR-240 has three different and selectable
modes of operation: "wireless" mode, "wired"
mode, and "master wireless" mode. The normal
mode is "wireless".
A TR-240 beltpack is configured to boot in one
of these modes by holding a specific button
sequence while the unit is booting.
NOTE: Once the TR-240 mode is set, it will
continue to boot in that mode until different
mode is selected on startup.

"Wireless" (Normal) Mode
In this configuration, a base station or access
point provides wireless coverage over the area
in which the beltpacks will be used.
1. Ensure that a BTR-240 base station or
BTR-24 access point is configured and
running the in the desired coverage area
of use.
2. Turn on the TR-240. The battery light
will turn green immediately indicating
power.
3. To place the TR-240 in "wireless" mode,
if not already set, press and hold the
<Talk> button as the beltpack boots.

transmitter is disabled.
1.3
"Master Wireless" Mode
A beltpack can be configured to act as a base
station and eliminate the need to have an actual
BTR-240 base station or BTR-24 access point.
This "master" beltpack may still be used for
audio just as a normal beltpack. In "master
wireless" mode, the wired Ethernet port is
disabled.
