AC50 Battery Charger Setup

The AC50 is the charger for All-in-One headsets.

Before installing the system, connect the AC power supply to the 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

To connect the AC power supply to the battery charger:

¾ Connect the AC power supply cable connector to the power connection

on the battery charger.

¾ Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet.

The red lights on the charger will briey display, and then the yellow lights will

appear and remain on.

Charging the Batteries

Up to four batteries can be charged in the battery charger at one time. The battery status lights next to each charging port indicate the battery status. Up to four 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.

¾ A yellow light next to a Charging port indicates that the port is EMPTY.

¾ A red light next indicates that the battery port is CHARGING.

¾ A green light indicates that the battery is READY.

¾ A steady yellow light indicates that the CHARGE

FAILED. If a charge fails, refer to the instructions on the side of battery charger.

¾ A ashing yellow light next indicates CHARGE

PENDING, which means the inserted battery is too hot. Adjust the room temperature or move the charger to a cooler area.

¾ Store fully charged batteries in storage ports.

IMPORTANT: Batteries should not be left in charge ports after being fully charged. A battery left in a charging port for more than three weeks may display the yellow indicator light, but it does not indicate a faulty battery.

Interference Avoidance

Interference, which may be heard in a headset as popping sounds, may occur whenever other equipment such as WI-FI systems, wireless DMX systems, other HME Base Stations are using the same frequency band. If these systems can be limited to one portion of the band, then the DX121 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band. To avoid this type of interference, set up the base stations for “split-band” operation by selecting 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). Here’s how:

1. Turn on the Base Station power. An “8” will appear on the STATUS display for a few seconds.

2. Once the “8” disappears and the STATUS display is blank, press and hold the CLR/BND button.

3. While holding the CLR/BND button, press and hold the REG button and wait until a L, H or A appears, and then release both buttons.

4. Press the CLR/BND button to cycle through and select a frequency band: L = Low end, H = High end and A = All.

5. Wait until “c” appears on the display.

NOTE: Base stations are shipped in the A (default) position.

Multiple Base Station Setup

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” while the others are 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.

1. Label the Base Stations as Primary, 1, 2 and 3.

2. Start with every Base Station and beltpac/headset powered off.

3. Locate the PRI SEC switch on the rear panel of the Base Station.

4. Set the PRI SEC switch to the PRI position on the primary Base Station.

5. Set the PRI SEC switch to the SEC position on each secondary Base Station.

6. If a Base Station has been set for interference avoidance, it should be used as the primary Base Station. The secondary Base Stations will automatically be set to the same band when they are initialized.

Base Station Initialization

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 beltpac or headset that will be used with that base according to the procedures on pages 12 – 15.

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

(See Interference Avoidance on page 9.)

1. Turn the primary Base Station power on. Register any beltpacs or headsets to be used with the primary Base Station (See

pages 12 – 15). Turn each beltpac or headset off after registering it.

2. Power on one secondary Base Station. The STATUS display will show a double bar, indicating the secondary base is ready to be initialized.

3. Press the REG button on the primary base. The STATUS display will show a small “o”.

4. To assign a number to a secondary Base Station and then initialize it, repeatedly press the REG button on the secondary base to cycle through the numbers 1, 2, and 3. When the desired number appears, stop pressing and wait.

5. While the secondary base initializes to the displayed number, the STATUS display will continue showing the secondary

number selected. When initialization of the secondary Base Station is nished, one bar is displayed that indicates that the

secondary has initialized to the primary.

6. Press the REG button on the primary. The STATUS display will go blank.

7. Register beltpacs or headsets to the secondary (See pages 12 – 15). After registration, turn off the secondary base and all Beltpac and headsets.

8. Repeat these steps for each remaining secondary base. Use a different number for each. Only the primary base and the secondary base you are working with should have power on during initialization. All other equipment should be off.

9. After all secondary bases are initialized with beltpacs and headsets registered, power up all bases.

10. Press RESET on the primary base, and let it recover. Turn on the primary beltpacs or headsets to allow them to link.

11. Press RESET on each secondary base (one at a time), and let it initialize to the primary (indicated by a single bar).

12. Turn on the beltpacs or headsets associated with the secondary bases. Complete one group at a time until they have all linked, then move on the next group. At this point all bases and beltpacs or headsets should be powered up and linked, ready for use.

13. Proceed with normal system conguration, setting functions and levels as required.

Replacing a Secondary Base

Use the procedure above to initialize the new secondary with the same number as the old secondary. After initialization you will have to register any Beltpacs/Headsets associated with the old secondary to the new secondary.

Replacing a Primary Base

Follow the above procedure completely. Before initialization of the secondary bases, clear the previous secondary initialization as follows:

For each secondary, press the CLR/BND button and the RESET button simultaneously. Continue holding the CLR/BND button while releasing the RESET button until the clear code (“c”) appears on the STATUS display. Any beltpacs or headsets associated with the old primary will have to be registered to the new primary after secondary base initialization. Also, all beltpacs and headsets associated with secondary Base Stations must be registered again.

Primary Base is Shut Down or Powered Off for More than 30 Seconds

All secondary bases will drop their beltpac and headset connections and begin searching for the primary. If the primary is not found in 30 seconds, the secondary will automatically revert to primary-mode operation and reconnect the beltpacs or headsets.

At this point, the secondary STATUS displays will show three bars. If the primary powered on, it will be necessary to press

RESET on all secondary bases to allow them to nd and initialize to the primary again. It’s important to have all bases

connected to the same AC circuit to prevent this situation when the system is shut down after hours and powered up again the next day.

Three bars

NOTE: You cannot register beltpacs and headsets to a base that is set to primary mode, and then switch the base mode to

secondary for initialization. Once in secondary mode, the base cannot recognize the beltpacs and headsets registered during primary operation. For secondary bases, the beltpacs and headsets must always be registered after secondary base initialization, with the primary base remaining active and the secondary base displaying one bar.

Beltpac / All-In-One Headset Setup and Registration

The rst time you operate the DX121 system, you must register each BP200 Beltpac and/or WH220 All-In-One Headset for use with a specic Base Station. The Base Station will then recognize all registered beltpacs and headsets when their power is on and

differentiate between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies. If a beltpac or headset is added, replaced or repaired later, the new one must be registered and the replaced one remains in memory. A maximum of 4 beltpacs and headsets can be registered to a single Base Station at one time. If the maximum number of 4 is exceeded, you must clear all current registrations and re-register all active beltpacs and headsets.

NOTE: The following two pages are for Beltpac setup and registration. All-In-One Headset setup and registration instructions are on pages 14 and 15.

Set Up Beltpacs

Before registering them, set up all Beltpacs as follows:

1. Insert a fully charged battery in the Beltpac, with the metal contacts on the end of the

battery inserted rst. Press it in until it snaps.

2. Place the Beltpac in the pouch.

3. Plug the headset cable connector into the Beltpac.

Step 1

Beltpacs must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the Base Station during registration. Before you begin, be certain the Base Station power is on and each Beltpac to be registered is turned off. Registered Beltpacs can be on or off.

NOTE: If you are setting up multiple Base Stations, the following steps must be repeated for Beltpacs being registered to each Base Station.

1. Place the headset of the Beltpac being registered on your head.

Step 3

Step 2

2. Press the REG button on the front panel of the Base Station (#6 on Base Station front panel illustration).

● The STATUS display (#4 on Base Station front panel illustration) will show a

● Wait! There may be a short delay.

If registration is successfully completed:

¾ A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …”

¾ After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Beltpac for about 10

seconds.

NOTE: ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 through 3.

¾ The power light on the Beltpac, next to the IC button, will remain on steady green.

¾ Repeat Steps 1 to 3 at the bottom of page 12 for each Beltpac to be registered.

If registration failed:

¾ A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, …” Both power lights on the

Beltpac will be blinking red, and there may be a delay of up to 90 seconds before you hear “Registration failed” and the STATUS display (#4) goes blank.

¾ Press RESET (#7) on the Base Station. To press RESET, insert a small paper clip or similar object into the RESET hole

at the lower-left corner of the Base Station front panel. When the STATUS display (#4) becomes blank, press the REG button (#6) and register the Beltpac again. If registration fails again, call your dealer for assistance.

If you try to register more than 4 devices (combination of beltpacs or headsets) to a Base Station:

¾ An “F” (for registration “Full”) will appear on the STATUS display (#4) on the Base Station and you will hear “Registration

failed” in the Headset.

¾ Clear all current registrations by pressing the CLR/BND button (#5) and RESET (#7) simultaneously. To press RESET,

insert a small paper clip or similar object into the RESET hole at the lower-left corner of the Base Station front panel. Continue holding the CLR/BND button after you release RESET, until the clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the STATUS display.

SECTION 4. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are unable to correct any of the problems described below, contact your dealer for assistance.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Power light on Base Station does not come on. Be certain power cords are properly connected to Base

Station, power supply and electrical outlet.

Beltpac or headset power lights do not turn green, and “out of range” is heard.

When trying to register, it keeps saying registration failed.

Others cannot hear me when I talk. If you are using a Beltpac or local headset, be certain the

People on the 4-Wire intercom cannot hear me or I cannot hear them.

People on the RTS/ClearCom systems cannot hear me or I cannot hear them.

2400MHz cordless telephone interference — If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However, because the DX121 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely. If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem. If not, move the phone as far as practical from the Base Station, or use another type phone.

Be certain your Base Station power is on. Turn Beltpac or headset and Base Station power on and off. You may be too far from the Base Station. The range varies with each location’s layout.

Check to be sure that the STATUS window only goes blank, and does not show a registration number. Follow the instructions on clearing the registrations as found on page 13 or 15, and repeat the registration procedure.

headset connector is correctly plugged in to the Beltpac or Base Station.

Be certain the cables are securely connected and the 4-Wire intercom is on.

Be certain the cables are securely connected and the 2-wire intercom is on.

In the event of an electrical power outage — such as from a lightning storm or power generator failure, if you experience problems with your HME equipment after the electricity comes on again, unplug the AC power supplies from their electrical outlets and wait 15 seconds, then plug them back in.

SECTION 5. DX SERIES LED AID

Powering on any DX base station will produce on the LED display the number “8” for approximately 3 seconds.

Blank display indicates the base is ready for operation.

You can register belt packs under this condition.

Single horizontal bar indicates the base is in secondary mode and registering to a base has been initiated and successfully linked with a primary base. You can register beltpacs in this mode.

Two horizontal bars indicate that the base is in secondary mode and ready to be synced with a primary base. You cannot register beltpacs in this mode you must sync to a primary base rst.

Three horizontal bars indicate the base is in secondary mode and has been linked with a primary base but the primary base is no longer available to the secondary. It takes a few seconds for the secondary to recognize that the primary is not available and revert to a primary state. However, you can register belt packs under this condition.

Syncing Secondary to Primary Bases Feature

To sync the bases, perform the following steps:

¾ Press the REG or REGISTER BELT-PAC* button on the primary base and then press the REG or REGISTER BELT-PAC*

button on the secondary base to begin the sync process.

¾ As you repeatedly press the REG or REGISTER BELT-PAC* button on the secondary you will see the numbers 1, 2,

and 3 cycle through on the display. The numbers indicate the three available quadrants. Note: The primary is in the 0 quadrant by default.

¾ To select a quadrant, simply release the button at a desired number and wait. If successful, you will briey see a blank

display followed by a single horizontal bar in the secondary LED display. For additional secondary bases, assign each base to its own quadrant. Refer to the appropriate equipment manual for primary to secondary conversion.

After the bases are synced when the secondary is powered up the number “8” will appear followed by one of the numbers below on the secondary base LED display:

The number “1” indicates the quadrant the secondary has been placed in.

The number “2” indicates the quadrant the secondary has been placed in.

The number “3” indicates the quadrant the secondary has been placed in.

NOTE

* Button has the same

function but with a

different description on the

equipment due to vintage.

The lower case “c” will appear when the registry on the base station is cleared. To clear the registry power down the base. Hold down the CLR/BND or RESET REGISTRATION* button rst and then power the base on when you see the “8” on the LED display release the CLR/BND or RESET REGISTRATION*. If done successfully you will see a small "c" on the LED display.

NOTE: The display indicates that the registry of a base station has been cleared of all beltpacs and secondary base stations that were registered to the base station.

Another method to clear the registry would be to start by holding down the CLR/BND or RESET REGISTRATION* button rst and then pressing the RESET button until you hear a small click and then release the CLR/BND or RESET REGISTRATION* button. If done successfully you will see a small "c" on the LED display. We recommend you use a

very small paper clip.

The lower case “o” will appear when the REG or REGISTER BELT-PAC* button is pressed and indicates that the base is ready to register a beltpac.

When registering beltpacs on DX bases that can carry 15 beltpacs please note that the numeric count displayed on the LED will

be in hexadecimal. This means that the LED will represent the rst 10 beltpacs as 0 to 9. Beltpac 11 will be represented by the

letter A, beltpac 12 will be represented by the letter B and on up to beltpac 15 as E. Please see below.
