• Volume: Listen to channel radio traffic (smaller rotary button)
• Channel Selection: larger rotary button
• Channels 001- 010: normal talking to tourists in the group (with normal
power & communication range, energy saving)
• Channels 011- 020: same as 001-010, but with increased (10 x) power & range
(Note: increased battery current consumption)
• Receiver side: Display I - 9 at tourist radio corresponds to CH-001 bis CH-009
und CH-011 to CH-019 at tour guide radio. Display 0 at tourist radio
corresponds to CH-010 / CH-020 at tour guide radio.
• Check for free Channel: Tour guides should check and listen in their
environment for busy or free channels. Check is recommended before each use
of the system. If necessary, search for a free channel and tell the number to all
your group members.
• Busy LED: Green LED shows that channel is free and can be used, red LED
shows that the channel is already in use by another group.
• Key Lock: press medium key (Menu key) longer
Information for Tour Guests with hearing problems
It is possible to use 2 different base volume settings (normal and high) at ATR 100.
The factory default setting is to normal volume. Persons with hearing problems can use the high volume
setting. To change base setting to high, keep UP button pressed while switching the radio on. To
return to normal volume, keep DOWN button pressed during Power on. The systems keeps each
setting stored until next change.
Announcements to Tourist Group Members
Announcements via internal Microphone
Press Transmit button (PTT), talk into microphone (up to 20..30 cm distance is ok) und release button
after announcement. Other system’s typical disturbing squelch switching noise after releasing the PTT
button is eliminated by a special circuit. So it is not necessary to keep the transmit button longer
pressed than necessary. This saves battery energy and keeps the channel free when not used! During
transmit mode the LED will be red. In outdoor operation, you should consider to use the GHS 02
headset, if wind and environment noise should be too loud for the internal microphone.
Announcement with Headset Microphone
With Tour Guide headset GHS 02 inserted you
can either talk to your tourist group or you can
transmit a pre-recorded announcement from any
MP 3 player to the tourists. Plug the 4 pole plug
into the yellow marked Mic socket besides the
antenna. Press PTT button at headset control
unit to transmit. Only where necessary and
justified, you can also transmit longer time
continuously by shifting the transmit button into
the LOCK position (see photo). Do not forget to
release PTT button or to switch slide switch
back to PTT position after finishing the
announcement.
Transmission of pre-recorded Tourist
Information to the Group Members
Use the 3 pole plug for the MP 3 player. You can listen the recorded information via your headset. To
transmit this information, just press PTT button (or use lock slide switch). Simply adjust the MP 3 volume
at your player to obtain a convenient volume at your own headset. (We recommend to test for best
volume before use). You can also speak at the same time via your microphone to the tourist group! The
sound is automatically mixed.
Battery Charging
At every power-on procedure the tour guide can read the actual battery voltage in the display for a short
moment. (for example 3.8V means half charged, ~ 4 V is fully charged and ~3.4 V means nearly
discharged)
The charge socket DC IN is below the rubber cap on the right side. Here you can connect the supplied
USB charging cable. It is possible to re-charge the 1400 mAh Lithium Ion battery from any USB wall
adaptor or from any computer via USB socket. A totally discharged battery will need about 5-6 hours
charging time. Charging terminates automatically. During charging, you will see CHGING in the display.
We recommend to switch the radio off during charge, then you will see the LED red, until the battery will
be fully charged.
The wall adapters of ATR 100 and ATT 100 are the same type and can be used for each other radio.
Please respect the Safety Rules for the correct treatment of Lithium Ion batteries. Air transport rules may
regard such batteries as „exempted“ dangerous goods (IATA DGR 52) Please see and read the
summary of air transportation rules in the carrying bag window.
Most airlines may request to transport the replaceable and the spare battery of the ATT 100 in
your personal cabin luggage and not in the checked in luggage! Never open a Lithium battery,
never use not qualified chargers and never make any short circuit of the bottom contacts. Best is to
carry batteries in plastic bags or strong paper boxes.
Change Battery
You can unlock the battery door cover with a finger nail or
with the tip of a ball point pen as shown here:
Please take care that you use the correct positioning of the
battery. If you place the battery so, that you can read the
label, it will be automatically correct inserted.
Additional Radio Functions (not necessary for
Tour Guide use)
Use as Walkie Talkie between the Tour Guides
The ATT 100 represents additionally a standard 2-way radio in the UHF PMR 446 frequency range for
internal communications. Please take care that all radios used for the communication are switched to
the same channel number.
Additional Broadcast Radio Reception
You can receive FM broadcast stations with the ATT 100 as well (via internal speaker only).
Activation: Press 2 seconds on the FM button on the left side.
The radio receives now FM broadcast and shows a typical radio frequency e.g. 88.0 MHz.
With the outer rotary knob (channel selector) you can now select the radio stations.
The 2 way radio signals have still priority: As soon as a signal is received, or as soon as you press your
PTT button, the radio will return to your last used communication channel.
Additional Functions via Menu Button (middle key)
After pressing Menu, following Menu functions can be reached via rotary channel selector:
TX Code and TX Code
Shows the actually used CTCSS / DCS Codes – Modifications only via PC programming kit possible.
SQL
Shows the setting of the squelch level. Can be selected between 0 (open, you hear everything on the
channel, including background noise) und 4 (fully closed squelch) For use as Tour Guide we
recommend to select values not below 2.
BCLO
Busy Channel Lock Out – Transmit blocking at busy channel. Normally = off. In future regulatory
administrations intend to request channel survey before talking (“Listen before talk, LBT)
If BCLO is on, you cannot transmit as long as someone else is using the selected channel. Default
setting: BCLO OFF.
LIGHT
Background illumination on/off (automatically) or always on. Recommended setting: OFF.
SAVE
Battery saver circuit. Should be ON.
K TONE
Key tone on/off. Recommended: OFF
APO (Auto Power Off)
Automatic Power off, when radio is not used for some time. Recommended: OFF
TOT (Recommended : OFF)
Time-Out-Timer: maximum allowed transmit time. Disables transmitter after selected transmit time. To
continue transmitting, it is necessary to release 1 x the PTT button for a moment, before you can start a
new transmission period.
VOX (Recommended: OFF)
Automatic Voice control (handsfree). Selections: OFF-1,2,3,4. In position 4 the voice detection has the
highest sensitivity. We do not recommend to use VOX operation, because it is necessary to perform a
personal training process to learn a speech behaviour which avoids lost sillables or words at the
beginning of talking.
FM RET (Recommended: OFF)
Automatic restart of Broadcast radio after radio communications have been finished. Not recommended
to use by tour guides, because increased power consumption (no power save in silent periods)!
PC Programming (only for Service)
A programming kit can be connected to the radio and allows activation / deactivation of certain functions
as well as other channel frequencies within the range 400….470 MHz (national regulations may request
license application). Connection of PC programmer via MIC socket and Modem cable (optional
accessory item)
