Battery cover release latches (Push latches in direction of arrows and flip lid up.) Insert six AA batteries into the battery sled, in the positions shown inside the sled, and install the sled in the battery compartment as shown below. An HME BAT850 Rechargeable NiMH Battery may be used instead.
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, etc. use the same frequency band. If these systems can be limited to one portion of the band, then the DX100 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band.
Multiple Base Stations 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” and all others must be 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.
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 Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Station to that base according to the procedures on pages 12 - 19. NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization.
RESET button • Press the RESET button on the primary base and let it recover. • Turn on the primary Beltpacs/ Headsets/Speaker Stations and let them link. • Press the RESET button on each secondary base station one at a time and let it initialize to the primary base, as indicated by a single bar. • Turn on the Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations associated with the secondary base stations. Do one group at a time until they have all linked. Then do the next group.
BELTPAC / WH200 HEADSET / SPEAKER STATION SETUP AND REGISTRATION The first time you operate the DX100 system, you must register each Beltpac, WH200 Headset and/or Speaker Station for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Beltpacs/ Headsets/Speaker Stations when their power is on, and will know the difference between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies.
If registration is successfully completed: • • A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …” After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Beltpac for about 10 seconds. NOTE: ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E. • The power light on the Beltpac, next to the IC button, will remain on steady green.
Set Up WH200 Headsets Before registering them, insert a fully charged battery in each WH200 Headset, with the metal contacts on the end of the battery inserted first. Press it in until it snaps. Power On/Off • To turn power on • Press and release the power button on the inside of the Headset housing. A voice message in the earpiece will say “Headset #” and the power light on the opposite side of the earpiece will go on. To turn power off Press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds.
If the registration is successfully completed: • • A voice message in the Headset will say “Power on, Headset #, Version #, Begin registration, Registration complete, …” After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Headset for about 10 seconds. NOTE: ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E. • • The power light on the Headset will remain on steady green.
Set Up Speaker Station The WS200 Speaker Station can be used together with Beltpacs and WH200 All-in-one Headsets. It provides wireless communication through its built-in microphone and speaker, or a plug-in headset. A remote speaker can also be connected to the unit. The Speaker Station can be used on a table top or mounted on the wall. It can be operated with standard AC power, 12-14VDC or with six AA batteries or an optional rechargeable battery.
