WHAT IS PROLINK 500™?
ProLink is a digital wireless, full duplex intercom system that is easy to configure and
easy to operate. You can operate the MASTER belt pack with up to three REMOTE
belt packs which are identified on the side label as R1, R2 or R3. You may also have
an option of unlimited number of “Listen Only” beltpacks.The transmitter and receiver
operate in the license free 902-928 MHz range without the need for a base station.
SYSTEM RANGE
The RF signal will travel through many solid objects. However, the more solid
objects between the belt packs, the more the range will be reduced. When the belt
packs are transmitting, the Transmit LED will flash red. If the signal drops out, the
LED will glow solid red on REMOTE belt packs only. If the belt packs are too far
apart, the REMOTE belt packs need to move closer to the MASTER belt pack.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
ProLink 500 belt packs include three “AA” rechargeable batteries and AC gang charger.
Fully charged batteries yield approximately five hours of continuous use. Alkaline batteries
can be used. Connecting the AC charger to a belt pack with alkaline batteries installed
could seriously damage the system.
INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Remove battery door
2. Install three “AA” NiMH batteries
3. Replace battery compartment door
CHARGE BATTERIES
1. Connect gang charger (included) into charging port on the bottom of the belt packs
2. Plug gang charger into AC outlet for minimun
of five hours
LED ON = battery charging
LED OFF = battery charged
