CONNECT YOUR SYSTEM
Using the diagram, connect your system. Diagram shows a typical installation. Alternative USB port on back of the base can be used.
CHARGE YOUR REMOTE
Charge the remote and spare battery for a minimum of 1 hour by placing them in the base. The base LED flashes when charging and remains on when fully charged. Allow 4 hours for full charge.
ADJUST THE VOLUME CONTROLS
Default volume settings
Position 4 is the default setting for Talk and Listen coarse-adjust switches
on the bottom of the base and correct for most applications.
Adjust Talk volume
Talk-course adjust switch position corresponds to your console’s microphone
input for (1) dynamic-, (2 & 3) electret-, or (4) carbon-mic applications.
- Adjust the Talk switch to the next lowest or highest position until your caller can hear you clearly.
- Press Talk Volume + or – buttons on the top of base to fine-tune your talk volume.
Adjust Listen volume
- Adjust the Listen switch to the next lowest or highest position until you can hear the caller clearly.
- Toggle the rocker switch on the remote to fine-tune your listen volume.
Prevent echoes
Excessively high audio levels can result in distortion and or/echo. Adjust
your equipment’s volume controls as described below.
- Turn off or completely decrease your equipment’s sidetone control (if present).
- Set the console receiver and microphone volumes to mid-range.
ADJUST THE HEADSET MICROPHONE
For the best sound position boom so that the microphone is two finger-widths from the corner of your mouth.
KEY UP RADIO
Press the Push To Talk (PPT) button on the remote to key up your radio; the
Talk LED on the base turns green.
MANAGE BATTERIES
Swap battery every 4 hours
A fully-charged battery powers your remote for 8 hours, however, we recommend
swapping batteries every 4 hours.
IMPORTANT
Swapping batteries every 4 hours maximizes the battery life and ensures
communications are not interrupted by low batteries.
Low battery warning
Recharge your battery if you hear a single beep every 10 seconds.
Turn off audio link when charging or not in use
If left to charge with the link up, a new charging cycle begins about 3 hours
after first charge. Using the remote at this time could result in reduced talk
time.
Battery storage
Remove battery pack from remote when storing to prevent the battery from
depleting.
Replace batteries
Monitor the performance of your batteries for gradually decreasing talk times
and replace as needed.
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries of all types gradually age and lose their ability to
give and receive charge.
STAY WITHIN RANGE OF YOUR BASE
A triple beep warns you if your remote is out of range and has lost its audio
link with the base.
