Page 3: Fcc Notice
The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) places an obligation on producers (manufacturers, distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. 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. -
Page 4: Introduction

Page 11: Base Station
BASE STATION Antenna and AC Power Connections 90° angle Screw both antennas onto the connectors on the back of the base station. Tighten at 90° angle. Antenna connectors Set up base station where no objects are blocking the line-of-sight from base station to the beltpacs. If base station can not be set up with no objects in line-of-sight between it and the beltpacs, install the antennas away from the base station. -
Page 12: Optional Battery Operation Of Base Station
Optional Battery Operation of Base Station NOTE: Always plug base station into AC power when it is available. Turn base station off when it is not being used, to conserve battery power. Typical base station battery life when used continuously is as follows: Energizer Lithium 6 hours BAT850 Rechargeable Battery... -
Page 13: Spectrum Friendly™ Interference Avoidance
Spectrum Friendly™ Interference Avoidance Interference such as popping sounds may occur when frequencies of a WiFi system, a wireless DMX lighting system or another HME system is in use. This interference may be avoided if these systems can be limited to one portion of the 2.4GHz to 2.48GHz frequency band, and your base station is set... -
Page 14: Multiple Base Stations
Multiple Base Stations Up to 20 crewmembers can communicate in the dual-channel mode, 5 per base station, by interconnecting base stations as described below. Audio Connection Connect base stations with the provided interconnect cable, from the BASE OUT connector on one to the BASE IN connector on the other. BASE OUT BASE IN connector... -
Page 15: Multiple Base Station Initialization
Multiple Base Station Initialization Multiple base stations must be “initialized” according to the following instructions, so their frequencies will not cause interference. After initializing each base station, register each beltpac that will be used with that base station (See page 15). Primary/Secondary Base Station Setting Set the BASE switch on each base station as described below, and then configure each base station through the initialization procedure that follows. - Page 16 Repeat steps 1 – 5 to initialize up to three secondary base stations. NOTE: When multiple HME base stations are to be used in the Spectrum Friendly™ mode, the primary base station should always be set to the required band first.

Page 17: Base Station Microphone Gain Adjustment
Base Station Microphone Gain Adjustment The microphone gain adjustment allows you to adjust the level of your voice as it is transmitted from the headsets plugged into the base station, to the rest of the system. Microphone gain must be adjusted for each base station headset. Use a headset that is plugged into the right side of a base station, and locate the MIC GAIN adjustment that is recessed in a hole on the right side of the base station. -
Page 18: Beltpacs
BELTPACS Beltpac Registration NOTE: Registration of all-in-one headsets is the same as the beltpac registration described below, except for step 2. If you have more than one base station, you must register each beltpac and/or all-in-one headset to the base station it will be used with. Turn the base station power on, and beltpac power off. -
Page 19: Beltpac Or All-In-One Headset Adjustments
Beltpac or All-In-One Headset Adjustments Sidetone Adjustment (Beltpac only, not on all-in-one headset) When you speak into the microphone, you can hear sidetone (your own voice) in the beltpac headset. Sidetone can be adjusted as follows: Be sure the beltpac power is on. While holding down the “O”... -
Page 20: Optional Remote Antenna Installation
OPTIONAL REMOTE ANTENNA INSTALLATION If it is not possible to avoid obstructions that may block signals between the base station and the beltpacs and/or all-in-one headsets, it may be necessary to locate the antennas away from the base station. Remote antenna kits with either 6 foot (1.83 meter) or 30 foot (9.14 meter) cables can be used to mount the antennas wherever necessary to alleviate this problem. -
Page 21: Optional Auxiliary Equipment Connection
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT CONNECTION Equipment requiring 4-Wire audio interfacing, such as audio/video recorders or hardwired intercoms, can be connected to the 10-pin connector and plugged into the rear panel of the base station. Equipment requiring relay closure, such as a router or mobile radio, can be connected to the 8-pin connector and plugged into rear panel of the base station. -

Page 30: Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are the battery charger and base station power supplies interchangeable? Yes. What is the maximum recommended number of base stations that can be linked together with interconnect cables? Four. Does linking the base stations automatically prevent them from interfering with each other? No, all bases that are linked together must be initialized or set to the high or low portion of the frequency band to prevent them from interfering with each other’s frequencies. -
