LED will turn off and the 2810E will go into shutdown mode to prevent damaging the communicator or rechargeable battery. It is advised that the 2810E-2001 be connected to an AC outlet as soon as possible once the BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR starts blinking. While there should be enough time to safely complete a normal diving operation, the exact amount of time is dependent on the age and condition of the sealed lead acid battery.

If both are used at the same time, the PANEL SPEAKER is active as a microphone. This allows another operation crew member to talk to the occupants using the PANEL SPEAKER even if the operator is away from the 2810E-2001 using the Remote Push-to-Talk Module in 2-Wire mode.
Full Duplex (4-Wire) mode. WARNING! The AUXILIARY AUDIO INPUT is not electrically isolated from the circuitry of the 2810E-2001. Any external equipment connected to the input should not be AC powered or connected to the AC mains indirectly through any equipment without the proper isolation. Failure to follow this warning may result in electrocution or death.

CHARGING THE BATTERY The Model 2810E-2001 is supplied with an internal sealed lead acid battery. To charge the battery, connect the AC power cord located on the back panel to an AC outlet. The internal battery charger is able to operate on 115 and 230 VAC lines without the user having to make any adjustments.
These spikes can exceed 1kV! Such spikes can be high enough to cause the input fuses on the 2810E-2001 internal battery charger to blow and, in extreme cases, actually damage the charger circuitry. Amron has designed this battery charger to isolate such faults to ensure that they will not cause a safety issue for the operator or chamber occupants.

MODEL 2810E-2001 USER MANUAL MAINTENANCE The following section describes the procedures for checking the operation of your 2810E-2001 chamber communicator, general maintenance procedures, and how to troubleshoot common problems. CHAMBER COMMUNICATOR CHECK PROCEDURES The following are a series of step-by-step procedures to perform a functional check of your 2810E-2001 communicator using only a headset.
Page 20
If that does not resolve the problem, then go to the troubleshooting section to determine the cause. Identify the microphone and headset leads. When using an Amron headset, the microphone is the red banana plug and the headset is the black banana plug.
Select a work area where the communicator and wires connecting to it are out of everyone's way so it does not get knocked over. The 2810E-2001 rechargeable battery should be recharged after use or as soon as possible when the BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR starts blinking.

Plug 2810E-2001 into AC power and allow battery to charge for 4 hours (depending of the age of the battery and the surrounding temperature). 5.2.2 RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The following sections outline the recommended scheduled maintenance for the 2810E-2001.
3.15 Amp, 250V, Fast Acting. Close the front panel; re-install the screws and re-test the communicator. If the communicator still appears dead, contact Amron per section 2.2 for further assistance. 5.3.3 LOW VOLUME Check the volume control settings and adjust if necessary.
Page 24
Amron per section 2.2 for further assistance. 5.3.7 FEEDBACK - FULL DUPLEX (4-WIRE) MODE There are two forms of feedback that can affect the 2810E-2001: acoustic feedback and cable crosstalk. Acoustic feedback occurs when an active microphone is close enough to pick up and amplify the signal from a speaker or earphone.
Page 25
Common sources are feedback between the operator's headset microphone and the PANEL SPEAKER of the 2810E-2001. If the operator wants to operate with the headset and leave the PANEL SPEAKER on, Amron recommends the operator move away from the 2810E-2001 by using the Amron Model 2822-28 Remote Walk-and-Talk Module.
