Digi-Wave 400 Series Quick Start Guide
Terminology
Some basic terminology is necessary to set up the Digi-Wave
system correctly.
Groups are used in every mode. A group is a selection of
people communicating with one another. There may be up to
four groups in one area.
Channels are used in Interpretation mode. Users configure
their device to listen to a certain channel based on what they
need to hear, such as a specific language.
Addresses are unique numbers given to each DLT 400
transceiver in a set up. DLR receivers do not have addresses.
Addresses are automatically assigned but manual assignment
may be necessary. Each address is unique; addresses
between 0 and 1023 can be selected. Each of the 1024
addresses is available per group.
Speaking Priority
Certain speakers can override others. There are 3 levels of
priority.
Master 1 has first priority, and also sets up a majority of the
settings for the Digi-Wave system.
Master 2 has second priority when speaking, but does not
declare any settings for the Digi-Wave system, only for their
personal device. This is not available in Interpretation
mode.
Guest units have third priority, and can only declare settings
for their device.

Modes
Tour mode is best suited when one or two people are leading
a large group. The group can be configured to only listen to the
leader(s) of the group, or the configuration can allow up to 6
people with a transmitter to speak.
Intercom mode is appropriate when a group of people all need to
talk and hear one another.
Hearing Assistance mode is appropriate when the using the
device to amplify spoken communication between users. The
Tone Control in Hearing Assistance mode is naturally elevated,
allowing the user to hear more clearly. Users with transmitters can
be allowed to speak, or only the Master can be allowed to speak.
Interpretation mode is best suited when dealing with multiple,
simultaneous audio feeds, such as multiple languages.
In Interpretation Mode, Broadcast Type helps determine which
channel the DLT transmitter will broadcast on.
• Floor will broadcast on channel 0. This is intended to be the
main audio for the event that is being interpreted.
• Interpreter will broadcast on channel 1-14 depending on what
is available. Each channel is able to be used by a dedicated
interpreter. In Standard Mode, the user can hear the Floor on
channel 0, and interpret on channels 1-14.
· Bilingual Mode and Relay Mode allows the interpreter to
quickly switch between channels when multiple interpretation
languages are involved. See full manual for details.
• Repeater is used to extend the range of the Digi-Wave 400
system by up to 50%. It will broadcast on one channel that
needs to be extended.
