ANTENNA INFORMATION
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
The BTR-300 is supplied with two (2) anten­nas. One 5/8-wave antenna for Transmit and one 5/8-wave antenna for Transmit and one 5/8-wave for Receive.
Assemble the 5/8-wave antenna by screwing the two sections together as shown in Figure
10. Both sections of the BTR-300 5/8-wave an­tennas must be used. Leaving off the top sec­tion will result in reduced range.
DO DON’T
To insure that the frequency of the antennas match the receiver and transmitter of the BTR-300, match the color dot on the antenna with the color dot on the BTR-300
Attach the antennas to the antenna input re­ceptacles unless the BTR is rack mounted. Tighten the connector securely.

ANTENNA PLACEMENT
Proper antenna placement probably has the most effect on you TELEX Wireless intercom System’s overall performance. The following suggestions will result in optimum perfor­mance.
Figure 14
Proper Dressing of the Antennas
Keep the distance between the base (BTR-300) and the belt pack (TR-300) anten­nas as short as possible. The greater the dis­tance, the weaker the signal. However, the portables should be a minimum distance of 10 feet from the base station and each other for best performance.
Make sure the “signal paths” between the BTR-300 and remotes are unobstructed. You should always be able to visibly locate the an­tennas for best performance.
ä
RadioCom
TR-300
Proper placement of the TR-300 can be criti­cal. The trailing antennas should “dangle” freely. “Wadding” the antennas up and placing them in a pocket, etc., will reduce system range.
It is suggested that the unit be worn on the belt or pocket with both antenna’s hung vertically for best operating range and performance.

DO NOT - mount the BTR-300 5/8-wave an­tennas next to metal such as beams, walls with metal studs, equipment racks, etc. This also applies to the antennas when assembled directly to the BTR-300. This will “detune” the receiving antenna which can result in noise or loss of RF signal at the BTR-300. See Figure 17.

PORTABLE TRANSCEIVERS
ENABLING AUDIO
Select the TR-300 portables that will be used with the BTR-300. Push in the portable enable switches that correspond to the TR-300 remotes that you will be using. The numbers of the portable stations (1, 2, 3, and 4), are the last digit of the product number on the back of the TR-300. The Portable Transmit On light will illuminate when the remote on that fre­quency is turned on. The indicators may also light in response to outside interference on that channel or to intermodulation arising from portables being used at too close a dis­tance to the base. To prevent these sources from creating undesirable noise, all unused channels should be disabled.
INTERCOM SWITCH
The intercom switch in the front of the unit will act as an enabling switch when the unit is being used with either a Telex Audiocom wired intercom or Clearcom wired intercom.
When using a RTS system wired intercom the switch will act as a channel selector switch for selecting of either channel 1 or channel 2.
AUXILIARY
The AUX Switch on the front of the BTR-300 will enable any auxiliary audio input (or 4 wire intercom) that is supplied to the unit.

SETTING SYSTEM GAIN LEVELS
ADJUSTING GAIN
The gain may need to be adjusted for various audio conditions. The overmodulation light will indicate when the gain is too high. If the light is illuminated when you are talking, the gain is too high and will need to be decreased. If the light does not flash at all, and the audio is low, the gain may need to be increased. An occasional flash of the overmodulation indica­tor is fine.
Using a plastic screwdriver (supplied), adjust the control clockwise to increase the gain or counterclockwise to decrease the gain. Note that the gain can also be adjusted by changing the spacing between the microphone and your mouth.
BTR-300 BASE STATION
The microphone overmodulation indicator light for the BTR-300 headset can be found on the right side of the front panel. The micro­phone gain control potentiometer is located to the left of the indicator light.
TR-300 PORTABLE
The overmodulation circuitry in the TR-300 uses the same light as the low battery cir­cuitry. If modulation is too high this light will illuminate when talking.
If the gain needs to be adjusted, remove the belt clip on the rear of the unit and pry out the small rubber plug to the right of the screw boss. This will reveal the microphone gain control potentiometer. Once adjusted, replace the rubber plug.

SYSTEM WALK-THRU
Now that you have successfully “set up” your RadioCom Wireless Intercom System and turned on any auxiliary equipment you are ready to test the overall performance by “Walking” the RadioCom system through the areas in which you will be using it.
If the audio volume at the auxiliary input, is too high, the Aux light will be illuminated when the person on the auxiliary is talking. Decrease the auxiliary gain until the auxiliary light does not illuminate while talking at nor­mal volume. Occasional flashing of the auxil­iary light is allowable. The auxiliary indicator has three states: OFF, HALF BRIGHT, and FULL BRIGHT. When the switch is ”OUT”, the indicator is OFF. When the switch is “IN” it becomes HALF BRIGHT, and when the in­put is overmodulated it becomes FULL BRIGHT.
The “system walk-thru” can detect problems of weak signal strength caused by:
· Poor antenna location
· Wrong antenna for receiver and/or trans-
mitter.
Before you begin your walk-thru check the following:
TR-300 Battery Check.
Set microphone gain in both the TR-300 and the BTR-300
Check that the push-to-talk switches are engaged in the Lock-to-talk position and the light is illuminated.
Portable units to be used are en­abled at the Base.
· RF “Trouble Spots”
· Operating distance beyond system capability.
· Old or used batteries in the TR-300
Under normal conditions the Portable Trans­mit On lights on the BTR-300 should always be lit when portables are transmitting. “Weak Signal” conditions will result in flashing of the Transmit light.
In 99% of all instances you will set up your RadioCom Wireless Intercom System, walk it through and achieve error-free performance. If in the rare instance your RadioCom System does not “pass” during your walk-thru evalu­ation, refer to the last section of this manual which deals with system troubleshooting.
-29-
TROUBLESHOOTING
Reread the sections of this manual to make sure you have completed system set-up prop­erly.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISTORTION - System’s audio quality
seems distorted at medium to high input levels.
HISS - System seems to produce a “hiss” which is undesirable.
LOW OUTPUT - System produces a low output level.
FEEDBACK - Moving around area of use produces “squeal” or “howl” in vari­ous location using ext. speakers.
DROPOUTS - When moving around the area of use there seems to be locations where the signal “swooshes” or com­pletely disappears.
If you are unable to solve the problem, con­tract the dealer from whom you purchased the system for assistance.
Reduce microphone gain by adjusting mi­crophone gain control.
Check the gain setting on all beltpacks and the base. They may be too low.
Check the gain setting on both the beltpacks and the base. They may be too low.
Reduce the gain settings on both the beltpacks and the base. They may be too high.
Make sure both antennas on the base are connected and follow the location sugges­tions. Change the location of the base unit and antennas or avoid the bad areas with the remote beltpacks.
INTERFERENCE - System picks up signals other than wireless Intercoms.
NO AUDIO from BASE or BELTPACK headsets.
Make sure the TR-300 beltpack is turned on - this will usually eliminate the interfer­ing signal. If not using a beltpack, make sure the corresponding enable switch at the base is disengaged.
If problems persist with the TR-300 beltpack on, you will probably need to have your system’s frequency changed to an­other channel.
Check Transmitter switch on base, use CONT or REMOTE position. Check push-to-talk function - is the switch ON?
