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.

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.

• 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.

Interf e

er nce Avoidance

Interference, ur whenever other equipment such as WI-FI systems, wireless DMX systems, other HME Base Stations, etc. use the same frequency band. If these systems can be limited to one portion of the band, then the DX100 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band. To avoid this type of interference, select the upper part of the frequency range on one Base Station (or more), and the lower part of the frequency range on the other(s) as follows:

Multiple Base Stations

This mode of operation can be used to expand the number of users communicating through multiple HME Base Stations operating in the same portion of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz frequency band.

Primary and Secondary Base Station Settings

One base station must be designated as “primary” and all others must be designated as “secondary”. You can have only one primary and up to 3 secondary base stations. Secondary base stations are assigned numbers 1, 2, or 3.

• Label the base stations as “Primary,” “1,” “2” and “3.”

• Start with every base station and Beltpac/Headset power off.

Set DIP Switches

Open each secondary base station and set DIP switch #4 to the ON position as follows.

• Using a T9 torque wrench, remove the six screws from the front panel of each secondary base station. Lift the front panel carefully and set it face down.

Be careful not to pull any wires loose.

• Locate the DIP switch on the transceiver circuit board inside the front panel of each secondary base station. Set DIP switch #4 to the ON position. Leave #s 1 and 3 in the OFF position.

Base Station Initializatio

For multiple HME Base Stations to operate without interference, they must be properly initialized before performing any other setups. After initializing each base station, register each Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Station to that base according to the procedures on pages 12 - 19.

NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization. If a different frequency

band needs to be selected to avoid interference, the primary base station must band before base station initialization is started. (See Interference Avoidance on page 8.)
