DR5-900 Wireless Intercom System
SETUP
-
Connect a headset to the BeltPack. The BeltPack headset connection supports dual mini and single mini headsets. Dual mini connectors can be inserted in either direction. Single mini connectors can be inserted in either port of the headset connection.
-
Power on. Press and hold the Power button for three (3) seconds, until the screen turns on.
-
Select a Group. Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds, until the “GRP” symbol is blinking on the LCD. Then, use the Volume +/− buttons to select a group number from 0–51. Shortpress Mode to save your selection and proceed to ID setting.
Important: Radios must have the same group number to communicate. -
Select an ID. When “ID” begins to blink on the LCD, use the Volume +/− buttons to select a unique ID number. Press and hold Mode to save your selection and exit the menu.
a. BeltPack IDs range from 00–04.
b. One BeltPack must always use the “00” ID and serve as the master BeltPack for proper system function. “MR” designates the master BeltPack on its LCD.
c. Listen-only BeltPacks must use the “L” ID. You may duplicate ID “L” on multiple BeltPacks if setting up listenonly users. (See “Receiving Mode Selection” on page 6 for more information about that process.)
d. Shared Talk BeltPacks must use the “Sh” ID. You may duplicate ID “Sh” on multiple BeltPacks if setting up shared users. The “Sh” ID cannot be used at the same time as the last full-duplex ID (“04”).
OPERATION
-
Talk – Use the Talk button to enable or disable talk for the device. “TK” appears on the LCD when enabled.
» For full-duplex users, use a single, short press to toggle talk on and off.
» For Shared Talk users (“Sh”), press and hold while talking to enable it for the device. (Only one Shared Talk user can talk at a time.) -
Volume Up and Down – Use the + and − buttons to control the volume. “VOL” and a numerical value from 00–09 appear on the LCD when volume is adjusted.
-
LED Modes –
» Left-hand Talk/State LED is blue and double blinks when logged in and single blinks when logged out.
» Right-hand Charging LED is red when battery is low and also red when charging in progress. LED turns off when charging is complete.
Multiple DR5 Systems
Each separate DR5-900 system should use the same Group for all BeltPacks in
that system. CrewPlex recommends that systems operating in proximity to one
another set their Groups to be at least ten (10) values apart. For example,
if one system is using Group 03, another system nearby should use Group 13.
Battery
- Battery life: Approx. 8 hours
- Charge time from empty: Approx. 3.5 hours
- Charging LED on BeltPack will illuminate red while charging and will turn off when charging complete.
- BeltPack may be used while charging, but doing so may lengthen charge time.

To access the menu, press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. Once you have finished your changes, press and hold Mode to save your selection and exit the menu.
