INFORMATION TO USER
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLERS AND USERS
Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas.
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency)
energy, which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits. These instructions also meet Industry
Canada RSS-GEN 7.14.
The term “IC:” before the certification number signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Base Station Antenna minimum safe distance: 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle.
Base Station Antenna gain: This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of up to
2dBi. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
Antenna mounting: The antenna(s) used for the base transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may
be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer
for further instructions.
WARNING: Maintain a separation distance from the base station transmit antenna to a person(s) of at least 7.9 inches (20 cm)
at 100% duty cycle.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the
minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly
installed, externally mounted antenna.
Hereby, HM Electronics, Inc. declares that the DX100 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.
This product operates in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz frequency range. The use of this frequency range is not yet
harmonized between all countries. Some countries may restrict the use of a portion of this band or impose other
restriction relating to power level or use. You should contact your Spectrum authority to determine possible restrictions.
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
The DX100 provides private, secure communication. Each base station can have up to a total of fifteen BP200
Beltpacs, WH200 All-in-one Wireless Headsets and/or WS200 Wireless Speaker Stations “registered” to it. All
Beltpacs or all WH200 Headsets, or a combination of Beltpacs, Headsets and/or Speaker Stations can be used.
Four of the fifteen Beltpacs, Headsets and/or Speaker Stations can transmit at the same time.
Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations can be used either in the Push-To-Talk (PTT) or Hands-Free (HF) mode.
The base station operator can stop any Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station from transmitting.
The MB100 Base Station and WS200 Speaker Station can be operated using standard AC electricity, an external
DC power source or six AA batteries. A power supply, cable and a battery sled are included with the base station.
This is an example of a typical theatrical application. A variety of other uses for the DX100 are possible.

ENT SETUP
BATTERY CHARGER SETUP
IMPORTANT! – Before installing the system, connect the AC power supply to the AC40A Battery Charger
and plug it into an electrical outlet. Charge all the batteries while the other equipment is being installed.
Charging time is about 2.5 hours.
Connect AC Power Supply
• Attach the AC power supply cable connector to the screw connector on the battery charger.
• Plug the power cord connector into the AC power supply.
• Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The red lights on the charger will come on and go off, and then the yellow lights will come on and stay on.

Charge Batteries
Up to four batteries can be charged in the battery charger at
the same time. The battery status lights next to each
charging port are explained below. Up to six fully charged
batteries can be stored in the battery storage ports.
• Insert a battery in each of four charging ports until it
clicks in place.
• A yellow light next to each charging port stays on while
the port is empty. When a battery is in a charging port, a
flashing yellow light next to it indicates CHARGE
PENDING, which means the battery is too hot . Adjust
the room temperature or move the charger to a cooler
area. When a battery is in a charging port, a yellow light
on steady next to it means CHARGE FAILED.
If this happens, follow the instructions on the side of
battery charger.
• A red CHARGING light next to a battery port stays on
while a battery in the port is charging.
A green READY light next to a battery port goes on
when a battery in the port is fully charged.
Store fully charged batteries in storage ports.
NOTE: The storage ports neither charge nor maintain the
batteries. They simply provide a place to store the
charged batteries until they are needed.
Batteries should not be left in charge ports after being fully
charged. If a battery is left in a charge port for more than
three weeks, the yellow indicator may light up. In this case, it does not indicate a faulty battery.

BASE STATI
Locate the two base station antennas and the AC power adapter and power cord received with the base station,
and connect them to the base station as described below.
ON SETUP
Antenna and Power Setups
Step 1. Connect the two enclosed
antennas to the antenna
connectors on the top and right
side of the base stati on, sho wn to
the right. Position the antennas
at right angles to each other.
The illustration belo w shows one
possible arrangement. Turn the
sleeve on each of the antenna
connectors clockwise to tighten
the antennas securely in position.
Step 2. Note which of the following applies to you.
• If using the D

Close the battery compartment by pressing its cover down until both latches snap in place.
NOTE: Pressing down on the cover next to both of the latches at the same time
will assure its
proper closing.
• If using the DX100 with an external DC power source ⎯ We recommend that you purchase a
power co
w apter plug tip PN 273-1717. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc t the external
rd such as the Radio Shack 12VDC, 5A cigarette lighter power adapter, PN 270-1558
ith ad tions to connec
DC power source to the power connector on top of the DX100. Any power supply used with the
DX100 should be rated at least 12VDC, 500mA.
NOTE: Having a fully charged (or new) battery in its battery compartment when operating the DX100 with AC
or external DC power can prevent interruption of communication during a power outage, as the base
station will automatically switch to battery power.
If only one base station will be used, skip pages 8 – 11 and go on to page 12.
If more than one base station will be used, continue with all the instructions on the following pages.
