The WEEE Directive covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION The DX100 provides private, secure communication. Each base station can register up to a total of fifteen BP200 Beltpacs and/or WH220 All-in-one Wireless Headsets. Any combination of Beltpacs and/or Headsets may be registered. Four of the fifteen Beltpacs and/or Headsets can transmit simultaneously. Beltpacs/Headsets can be used either in the Push-To-Talk (PTT) or Hands-Free (HF) mode.
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION The following equipment is standard with the DX100 Wireless Intercom System. As you unpack the equipment, check the enclosed shipping documents to be sure you received all items listed. Base Station Battery Sled Base Station Antennas (2 per Base Station) MB100 Base Station BAT41 Battery AC40...
SECTION 2. EQUIPMENT SETUP AC40 BATTERY CHARGER SETUP The AC40 is the charger for Beltpac batteries. IMPORTANT! – Before installing the system, connect the AC power supply to the AC40 Battery Charger and plug it into an electrical outlet. Charge all the batteries for the Beltpacs while the other equipment is being installed.
AC50 BATTERY CHARGER SETUP Before installing the system, connect the AC power supply to the battery charger and plug it into an electrical outlet. Charge all the batteries while the other equipment is being installed. Charging time is about 2.5 hours. Connect AC Power Supply To connect the AC power supply to the battery charger: Connect the AC power supply cable connector to the power...
BASE STATION SETUP Locate the two base station antennas, as well as the AC power adapter and power cord received with the base station. Connect them to the base station as described below. Antenna and Power Setups Step 1. Connect the two enclosed antennas to the antenna connectors on the top and right side of the base station (displayed to the right).

Insert six AA batteries into the battery sled (as illustrated inside the sled), and install the sled in the battery compartment as displayed below. An HME BAT850 Rechargeable NiMH Battery may be used instead.
Multiple Base Stations This mode of operation can be used to expand the number of users communicating through multiple HME Base Stations operating in the same portion of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz frequency band. Primary and Secondary Base Station Settings One base station must be designated as “primary”...
Base Station Initialization For multiple HME Base Stations to operate without interference, they must be properly initialized before performing any other setups. After initializing each base station, register each Beltpacs/Headsets to that base according to the procedures on pages 12 - NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization.

Step 9. Press the RESET button on the primary base, and let it recover. Step 10. Turn on the primary Beltpacs/ Headsets, and let them link. Step 11. Press the RESET button on each secondary base station (one at a time), and let it initialize to the primary base (indicated by a single bar).
BELTPAC / WH220 HEADSET SETUP AND REGISTRATION The first time you operate the DX100 system, you must register each Beltpac and/or WH220 Headset for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Beltpacs/ Headsets when their power is on.
Page 18
If registration is successfully completed: A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …” After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Beltpac for about 10 seconds.
Set Up WH220 Headsets Before registering, insert a fully charged battery in each WH220 Headset with the metal contacts on the end of the battery inserted first. Press it in until it snaps. Power On/Off To turn power on Press and release the power button on the inside of the Headset housing.

If the registration is successfully completed: A voice message in the Headset will say “Power on, Headset #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …” After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Headset for about 10 seconds.
When this happens, replace the batteries in the base station immediately with ones that are new or fully charged (as instructed on page NOTE: Battery life varies with the type of batteries used. With the HME BAT850 (NimH) Battery, up to 10 hours can be expected.
BELTPAC OPERATION Power The Beltpac control buttons have a snap action. They will activate when lights pressed firmly. Use your fingertips, not fingernails, to press the buttons. Power On/Off Power On — Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message in the earpiece will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #”, and the red power lights at the corners of the IC and ISO buttons will turn on.

Volume Up/Down Volume Up Adjustment — Each time you press and release the volume-up button, you will hear a higher pitch beep in the earpiece as the volume increases one step. If you press and hold the volume-up button, you will hear beeps of ascending pitch as the volume steps up to maximum.
WH220 HEADSET OPERATION The Headset control buttons will activate when pressed lightly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons. Power Power On/Off light Power On — Press and release the power button on the inside of the Headset housing. A voice message in the earpiece will say “Power on, Headset #, Version #”...

APPENDIX A: EU BASE STATION ADAPTIVE FREQUENCY HOPPING Hereby, HM Electronics, Inc., declares that DX100 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Radio Equipment Directive (RED). In AFH mode, DX100 complies with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) harmonized European standard EN 300 238. Customers, Distributors or Installers operating in a CE regulated country that switch off or disable AFH will render the product non-compliant with the directive and will be considered a manufacturer of the product.
Physical separation. If possible, equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum should be operating as far as physically possible from the HME base station. A Wi-Fi access point or router is a common piece of equipment that could interfere with the DX100 system, or vice versa. These two pieces of equipment in particular should not be located close together.
