1 System Overview The Clear-Com® HME DX210 is a 2-channel Digital Wireless Intercom System that supports up to 15 COMMUNICATOR®s per base station, either Belt Packs or All-In-One Headsets, or a combination of the two. Using the DX210 in the 2-channel mode, any 3 of the 15 Communicators can transmit at the same time. In the single-channel mode, any 4 Communicators can transmit at the same time. This number can be increased by adding up to 3 additional base stations.

2 System Setup This chapter describes how to set up and configure the DX210. Typical equipment connections to the rear panel of the base station 2.1 Battery Charging 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. 2.1.
2.1.2 Charge Batteries Up to four batteries can be charged in the battery charger at the same time. The battery status lights next to each charging port are explained below. Up to six 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. ● A yellow light next to each charging port stays on while the port is empty.
2.2 Basic Base Station Setup This section describes setup and equipment connections for an individual base station. ● Connect the two enclosed antennas to the antenna connectors (#38 and #52) on the rear panel of the base station, and turn the sleeves clockwise on the antenna connectors to tighten them securely in place. Position the antennas at 90° angles from each other.
2.3 COMMUNICATOR® Setup and Registration The first time you operate the DX210 system, you must register each Communicator (Belt Pack and/or All-In-One Headset) for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Communicators when their power is on, and will know the difference between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies. If a Communicator is added or replaced later, the new one must be registered and the old one remains in memory.
2.3.2 Register COMMUNICATOR®s The Communicator must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station to enable registration. 1. Be sure each Communicator you are going to register is turned off and the base station power is on before you begin. Communicators that are already registered can be on or off. 2. Put the headset on your head. 3. Press the REG button on the front panel of the base station. The STATUS display will show a small “o” for open.
If you try to register more than 15 Communicators: ● An F will appear on the STATUS display on the base station and you will hear “Registration failed” in the headset. ● Clear all current registrations by pressing the CLR/BND button and the RESET button at the same time. To press the RESET button, insert a pen or similar pointed object into the RESET hole at the lower-left corner of the base station front panel.
2.4 Interfacing with 2-Wire or 4-Wire Intercoms 40 41 42 43 Base station rear panel 2-Wire Intercom Interface: The following 2-wire setup is for Channel 1 (IC1). If applicable, repeat for Channel 2 (IC2). ● If using a 2-wire intercom with the DX210, plug it into the base station 2-W connector at #41 or #42, depending on whether a male or female connection is required.
IC1 and IC2 Intercom Controls and Indicator Lights: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Base station front panel The IC1 portion of this area of the panel is for Intercom Channel 1, and the IC2 portion is for Intercom Channel 2. Their operation is identical. ● The SELECT button is used to select 2-Wire or 4-Wire or both. ● The 2-W indicator light will come on red (muted) if wired intercom power is not detected at the 2-W connector on the rear panel of the base station.
The AUXILIARY SELECT button (#25) is used to select IC1 or IC2 or both as the destination for AUX IN audio. The IC1 and/or IC2 INPUT ASSIGN lights (#24) come on green to indicate the selection as the destination for AUX IN audio. If neither is selected, AUX IN audio will not be routed to the COMMUNICATOR®s. The AUX IN light must be lit for the INPUT ASSIGN SELECT function to work. ● If only AUX IN is used, press the AUX IN/OUT SELECT 25 button (#28) until the IN light (#27) goes on.
3 System Operation This chapter describes how to operate the Base Station and COMMUNICATOR® (Belt Pack or All-In-One Headset). 3.1 Base Station Operation COMMUNICATOR® Registration Power Switch AUX IN Assign and AUX In/Out Controls Audio Channel and Auto-Null Controls Local Headset Connnector & Controls 3.1.1 Digital Radio Controls and Indicator Lights ● The CLR/BND button, RESET button, STATUS indicator and REG button are used when registering Communicators.
3.2 COMMUNICATOR® Operation Belt Pack control buttons have a snap action. They will activate when pressed firmly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the Belt Pack buttons. All-In-One Headset buttons are touch sensitive. 3.2.1 Power On/Off ● Power On – Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message in the earpiece will say “power on,” and the red power lights near the corners of the IC1 and IC2 buttons will go on.
3.2.5 Adjusting Microphone Gain Some users talk louder/softer than others. To allow for this, microphone gain adjustment is provided. ● To increase microphone gain – While holding down the IC2 button, press the volume-up ▲ button as many times as necessary to reach the desired level. The microphone gain increase can be monitored through side tone, or preferably by someone else using a Communicator or at the base station.
4 Troubleshooting ● Red light on base station power switch does not come on. Be sure the power cords are properly connected to base station, power supply and electrical outlet. ● Belt Pack power lights do not turn green and “out of range” is heard in the headset. Be sure your base station power is on. Turn the Belt Pack and base station power on and off. You may be too far from the base station. The range varies with each location’s layout. ● When trying to register, it keeps saying registration failed.

Appendix B: Multiple Base Station Daisy-Chaining Two or more DX210 base stations can be “daisy-chained” together with cables connected to the 2-W connectors on the rear panels of each base station, following Clear-Com® / RTS® standards, or two base stations (not more) can be “daisy-chained” together with cables connected to the 4-W or AUX connectors. NOTE 1: DX210 does not provide 2-wire line power, therefore, 2-wire power bypass must be used.
Appendix C: Jumper Settings The base station has internal jumpers that are used to set ISO broadcast restrict, power detect by-pass, and 2-wire channel termination.
Appendix D: Multiple Base Station Registration For multiple base stations to operate in close proximity without interference, they must all be properly registered before performing any other setups. After registering each base station, register each COMMUNICATOR® that will be used with that base according instructions in section 2.3.2, page 8. NOTE: If using split-band operation, select the appropriate band prior to base station registration.
● Repeat these steps for each remaining secondary base station. Use a different number for each. Only the primary base station and the secondary base station you are currently working with should have power on during registration. All other equipment should be off. ● After all secondary base stations are registered and COMMUNICATOR®s are registered, power up all base stations. Press reset on the primary base station and let it recover. Turn on the primary Communicators and let them link.
Appendix E: Interference Avoidance through Spectrum Friendly Interference, which may be heard in a headset as popping sounds, may occur whenever other equipment such as Wi-Fi systems or wireless DMX systems, etc. use the same frequency band. Some systems can be limited to one portion of the band. If so, the DX210 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz band. To avoid this type of interference, select the upper or lower part of the frequency range.
Spectrum Friendly All DX Series wireless intercom systems now feature Spectrum Friendly™ technology for interference-free operation in the increasingly crowded 2.4GHz frequency band. This new technology enables broadcast and theatrical production crews to avoid emerging frequency conflicts by designating the 2.4GHz operating frequency range: low-, high-, or full-band.
