Purpose
This procedure explains how to set up Vocollect's recommended model of remote listening
system, the Maxon 49-HX Communicator, in order to train a new operator.
Before You Begin
You will need the following items:
Two Maxon 49-HX Communicator kits (one to transmit and one to receive). Each
communicator kit contains the following items:
Maxon Hands-Free Communicator--Model 49-HX
Headset
14" cable with a 6-pin DIN connector on one end and a 1/8" plug on the other
1/8" shorting plug
Six AA batteries
Holster
The operator's Talkman® terminal with a headset and belt.
Procedure
To configure a remote listening system for training, you must set up two different types of
communicators:
Setting up the transmitting communicator
Setting up the receiving communicator
Setting Up the Transmitting Communicator
The transmitting communicator is set up as a dedicated transmitter and it is connected to
the operator's terminal. To set up this communicator, perform the following steps:
1. Put three AA batteries into transmitting communicator.
2. Remove the communicator's headset. It is not used.
3. Set the Intercom/Transmit (marked INT/TX) switch to TX.
4. Turn VOX off on the communicator. Do this by holding the communicator so that
the label reading Maxon 49-HX Communicator is facing you and the VOX dial is on
the left, then rolling the dial toward PTT (Push to Talk) until it clicks.
5. Set the channel using the channel selector (marked CH) on the transmitting
communicator.
6. Set the transmitting communicator's volume to its lowest setting, using the volume
dial (marked VOL).
7. Insert the separate 1/8" plug into the remote jack (marked REM) on the
transmitting communicator. This serves the same function as holding down the
PUSH TO TALK button continuously, so that the operator does not have to do this
manually (see image 1).
