Important safety instructions
Danger due to high volumes
These devices are capable of producing sound pressure exceeding
85
dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the maximum
permissible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect
your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis
according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or
longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the
duration must be shortened in order to prevent hearing damage. The
following are sure signs that you have been subjected to excessive noise
for too long a time:
• You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.
• You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no
longer hear high notes.
Safety instructions for the Lithium-Ion battery pack
If abused or misused, the WiCOS BA battery pack may leak. In extreme
cases, it may even present
• a heat hazard,
•a fire hazard,
• an explosion hazard,
• a smoke or gas hazard.

WiCOS – the wireless conference system
WiCOS – the wireless conference system
WiCOS stands for Wireless Conference System – the new generation of
mobile and wireless conference equipment from Sennheiser. The WiCOS
conference system utilizes all advantages of digital communications
technology:
• Ease of use due to automatic configuration of the system
• Easy installation and straight-forward operation
• Conference units with up to 20 hrs operating time
• Decentralized, clear sound reproduction
• Conference units are extremely easy to operate
• Voting function
• Dynamic frequency management for intermodulation-free operation
• 2 usable frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Easy integration of the wireless WiCOS system into the wired SDC 8200
digital conference system from Sennheiser
• Ideal for both small seminars with only a few participants and large
conferences with any number of participants
Areas of application
The WiCOS conference system offers you reliable, wireless conferencing on
the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands. The system architecture allows for
different conference configurations:

WiCOS – the wireless conference system
Stand-alone operation – wireless conferencing
For stand-alone operation, you only require the WiCOS system
components. You can use different conference modes and, in addition to
running discussions, you can also conduct voting sessions.
The delegate and chairman units are wirelessly connected to the access
point, which acts as the central unit and controls the conference system.
The battery pack-powered conference units are wireless and can be placed
as you wish.
The access point has an integrated web server for configuring and
monitoring the WiCOS conference system. In order to control these
functions, a computer with network connection and a web browser is
needed.

Integrated operation (slave mode operation) – with the wired SDC 8200
conference and interpretation system
The WiCOS wireless conference system can be integrated into the wired
SDC 8200 conference and interpretation system. This allows you to expand
the conference system and/or easily bridge relatively long distances. In
slave mode operation, you can use the WiCOS system for simultaneous
interpretation and add professional accessories such as room
microphones, camera functions or the software control of the SDC 8200
conference and interpretation system.
For slave mode operation, you require the SDC 8200 conference and
interpretation system with the SDC 8200 CU-M or SDC 8200 CU central
unit. One or several access points can be connected to the central unit. As
in stand-alone operation, the access point controls the wireless
communication between the conference units. The conference system is
configured via the SDC 8200 CU-M or SDC 8200 CU central unit. In
integrated operation, all conference units of the wireless WiCOS system
behave like conference units of the SDC 8200 system.
To use language distribution, you also require SDC 8200 interpreter units.
The WiCOS DV and WiCOS CV conference units allow you to select between
up to 16 interpretation channels.
Setup for integrated operation
(slave mode operation)
The technology used
The radio technology of the WiCOS conference system is based on the
transmission standard for radio networks IEEE 802.11 a/g which is
widespread in computer technology. This radio standard offers the largest
possible operational reliability and transmission quality. The radio
protocols are optimized for conferencing, thus avoiding intermodulations
with existing radio networks. The dynamic frequency management of the
WiCOS conference system automatically detects occupied frequency
bands and changes to a free frequency band with no interruptions, even
during operation.

Setting up the access point
CAUTION! Danger of intermodulation!
If you set up the individual components of the conference
system too close to one another, intermodulation can occur.
왘 Observe a minimum distance of 1.5 m between the access
point and the conference units.
왘 Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm between the
conference units.
왘 If possible, set up the devices so that there is a “free line of sight”
between the conference units and the access point.
To obtain the optimum transmission range:
왘 Place the access point as centrally and as high as possible.

CAUTION! Risk of staining of furniture surfaces!
Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish,
polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they
come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough
testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the
possibility of staining.
왘 Do not place the access point on delicate surfaces.
왘 Place the access point on a flat, horizontal surface.
왘 Switch the access point on (see page 29).
