Base Station Set-up
FIGURE 18.
Base Station – Rear Panel
Location
Locate the base station with the front and rear of the unit
accessible so that switches may be set and connections made.
Place the transmit and receive antenna’s on the base station.
Make sure the color band match the color dot near each antenna.
See “Antenna Placement” on page 22 for more information on
choosing a proper operating location.
Power Connection
Plug the supplied power cord into the unit. The base station has
an IEC power receptacle that accepts 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
The specific receptacle type is an IEC 60320/C14. The cord it
accepts is an IEC 60320/C13. These cords are common and
available through many retail hardware/electronic stores if the
cord is lost.
Transmit Switches
There are two switches located on the lower left side of the rear
panel. The upper switch sets the transmit power levels to high or
normal. The lower switch turns the transmitters on or off.
Transmit Power
Set the power level to normal if using the beltpacks at close
to m
edium distances (<200 feet, 161m, line-of-sight) from
the base station. Set the power level to high if using the
beltpacks at a distance (>200 feet, 161m, line-of-sight)
from the base station.
On/Off
Set the transmitter switch to on
for no
rmal use. In the off
position both base station transmitters are disabled. Setting
the switch to off will disable all the beltpacks from hearing
anyone else or even their own sidetone.
