FCC NOTICE

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.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by HM Electronics, Inc. could void the users authority to operate this 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. The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only 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. 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 DX121 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.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) places an obligation on producers (manufacturers, distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. The WEEE Directive covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.

Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union

The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this product was put on the market after August 13, 2005 and must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the user’s waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. The separate collection and recycling of waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local authority, your household waste disposal service or the seller from whom you purchased the product.

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

The DX121 is a 2.4 GHz Wireless Intercom System. The Base Station will connect to a dynamic microphone headset jack or a 4-Wire connector of a hardwired intercom station, and also provides battery-charging capability for one battery. The system typically uses BP200 Beltpacs, but can also be used with the WH200 All-in-One Headset and/or WS200 Wireless Speaker Station COMMUNICATOR system, you can leave your console or intercom station while using a Communicator.

• Each Base Station supports one Communicator in full duplex, hands-free operation.

• Each Base Station supports up to four registered Communicators.

• Compatible with RTS and ClearCom/Production Intercom wired intercom headset or 4-Wire capabl e equipment.

NOTE: Use only with headset connectors capable of supporting dynamic microphone headsets.

• In the default mode, the ISO button activates relay-controlled contacts. For alternate operating mode, see Relay Operation, page 22.

• The IC button activates audio to the 4-Wire and headset Input/Output connector(s).

• The ISO and IC buttons activate audio to other registered Communicators.

• The Base Station can charge a BAT41 battery in less than 3 hours.

• In case of power outage, the Base Station will operate temporarily from a battery in the charging port, for

approximately 30 minutes.
