Features
USB Programmable
Using its USB port, a Base Station can be configured using a Windows PC.
Features may be customized and saved. Refer to the Sonetics Headset Software
for details.
Wireless DECT7 Communications
The Base Station features wireless DECT7, enabling conference call-like full
duplex communication. The Firecom wireless DECT7 Base Station will connect
with Firecom Wireless Headsets and Belt Packs. DECT7 networks have up to
1600ft line-of-sight range in Region 1 (US) and up to 800 meters in Region 2
(EU). DECT7 ensures interference free, digitally encrypted communications for
all parties.
Backwards Compatibility
The Firecom Wireless Base is backwards compatible with the Firecom first
generation wireless DECT and DECT6 headsets, with minimal loss in
functionality.
Wide Band Audio
The Wireless DECT7 communications are transmitted in a high definition wide
band audio format. This gives greater clarity of voice, and allows for integration
with voice activated control systems. It can be switched to narrow band audio
when necessary.
Dual Antenna Design
The Base Station has internal and external antennas for diversity switching to
lock onto the best signal. This allows the installer to place the Wireless Base
Station and antenna in different locations for system optimization in custom
installations.
Multi-Channel System
The Wireless Base Station can be configured for multiple channels. These can
be remotely selected by paired Wireless Headsets.
Broadcast Only Mode
The Headset may be paired into a listen only mode of operation, reducing
power consumption considerably. This also allows many more headsets to be
connected to a Wireless Base Station simultaneously. Pressing the Radio PTT
button allows the headset to momentarily talk on any available slot. A tone will
let the user know when they can talk. After talking, there will be a slight delay
when other users cannot be heard.

4. Mount the Wireless Base Station using the mounting feet.
5. Position antenna and use antenna mount to secure it. Alternatively, use a
remote antenna.
Option 3: Desk
1. Place on Desk.
2. Orient the external duck antenna vertically or use a remote antenna.
4 | P a g e
Antennas
An external antenna can provide a performance increase in some locations, and
affords greater installation flexibility.
To optimize performance:
1. Position the antenna at least 12 inches from any other antenna, metal,
electrical power, radio equipment, or obstructions.
2. Choose a location in the center of the vehicle’s roof (if mounting
outside).
WARNING: For FCC and other Radio Frequency regulatory compliance,
use only Sonetics approved wireless antennas.
Duck Antenna
Always position the Duck antenna at 90 degrees from the internal antenna. The
internal antenna is shown below.
The duck antenna needs to be supported when used in a vehicle or any
environment when the Wireless Base Station may be subjected to vibration.
5 | P a g e
Accessory Antennas
Sonetics has accessory antennas for temporary and permanent installation on
the exterior of a vehicle or building. To ensure the best system performance,
external antennas must not be mounted inside metal enclosures.
Magnet Mount Antenna
This antenna is designed for non-permanent installations on metallic surfaces.
1. Temporarily mark the center of the vehicle’s roof or trunk. Centering the
antenna on a flat metal area will improve ground plane and increase range.
2. Clean the marked area with rubbing alcohol or other non-corrosive cleaner
to prepare the surface. Let it dry completely.
3. Cut a round piece of felt the same size as the bottom of the magnet mount
and place it on your center mark. Set the magnetic antenna on top of the
felt to protect to the vehicle’s paint from scratches. Use of a felt patch will
slightly reduce the strength of the magnet. Make sure the coaxial cable is
pointed toward where it will enter the vehicle.
4. Open the hood or the trunk. Route the cable through a body panel gap to
get to the base station location.
5. Connect the cable to the antenna connector on your Wireless Base Station.
