Place the trans mit and re ceive an ten nas on the base sta tion.
Make sure the an tenna’s color band match the color dot near
each an tenna. See “An tenna In for ma tion” sec tion for more in --
for ma tion on choos ing a proper op er at ing lo ca tion.
Power Con nec tion
Plug the sup plied power cord into the unit. The base sta tion has
an IEC power re cep ta cle that ac cepts 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60
Hz. The spe cific re cep ta cle type is an IEC 60320/C14. The cord
it ac cepts is an IEC 60320/C13. These cords are com mon and
avail able through many re tail hard ware/elec tronic stores if the
cord is lost.
Trans mit Switches
There are two switches lo cated on the lower left side of the rear
panel. The up per switch sets the trans mit power lev els to high
or nor mal. The lower switch turns the trans mit ters on or off.
Trans mit Power
Set the power level to nor mal if us ing the beltpacks at
close to me dium dis tances (<200 feet, 161m,
line-of-sight) from the base sta tion. Set the power level to
high if us ing the beltpacks at a dis tance (>200 feet, 161m,
line-of-sight) from the base sta tion.
On/Off
Set the trans mit ter switch to on for nor mal use. In the off
po si tion both base sta tion trans mit ters are dis abled. Set --
ting the switch to off will dis able all the beltpacks from
hear ing any one else or even their own sidetone.

In ter nal Trans mit Switches
In ter nal to the BTR-800 are two trans mit switches which en --
able a user to turn on or off the two trans mit ters in di vid u ally.
See Fig ure 19 for the lo ca tion. The top cover of the base sta --
tion must be re moved for ac cess. The switch clos est to the
front panel con trols trans mit ter 1 (au dio chan nel A). The
switch be hind that is trans mit ter 2 (au dio chan nel B). The de --
fault switch po si tion is to the left if you are fac ing the front of
the base sta tion. This is the “ON” po si tion for the trans mit ters.
In the nor mal use of the BTR-800, there is no need to ac cess
these switches. They are used to test the trans mit ters in di vid u --
ally at the fac tory.

Dual Lis ten Func tion al ity
The base sta tions's main au dio board has the op tion of plac ing
ad di tional parts to en able dual lis ten. Dual lis ten al lows the
mix ing of the in ter com chan nels. The mix ing will oc cur lo --
cally, within the base sta tion, and is only heard on that base
sta tion's beltpacks. The user will have the abil ity to en able/dis --
able the mix of I/C A into I/C B or vise versa. If you have
TR-825 beltpacks, there is no need to in stall this base op tion.
The level of the mix can be controlled at the TR-825 via the
two vol ume con trols.
They will also have the abil ity to con trol the level of the mix
(-4 dB to -24 dB down from main chan nel). Re moving two
sur face mount re sis tors and in stall ing two SPDT switches and

Fre quency Plan Over view
The BTR/TR-8XX has 36 fac tory de fined fre quency groups
and 12 user-programmable fre quency groups. A Group de --
fines the two base sta tion trans mit fre quen cies and thus the
two re ceive fre quen cies on all the beltpacks. A Chan nel de --
fines a base sta tion re ceive fre quency and thus a beltpack
trans mit frequency. A base sta tion re ceive chan nel that does
not have a fre quency set for it will have a dash to the right of
it on the Group/Chan nel se lect screen. De tails on set ting fre --
quen cies may be found in the “BTR-800 Menu Struc ture” and
“TR-8XX Menu Struc ture” in struc tions in this sec tion.
Fac tory-Defined Groups
The 36 fac tory-defined groups were care fully cho sen to avoid
cer tain intermod prod ucts and var i ous other pos si ble sources
of in ter fer ence. The Groups are set and can not be changed.
There is a lim ited num ber of chan nels which can be chosen
from within these groups.
The first 24 factory-defined groups (01A – 12B) are “pair”
groups that can be used for sin gle (up to 4 beltpacks) and dual
(up to 8 beltpacks) BTR-800 sys tems. They are ar ranged
01A, 01B, 02A, 02B…011B, 012A, 012B. A “pair” group,
like 1A and 1B, have dif fer ent base sta tion transmit fre quen --
cies, how ever, they both have the same eight base station re --
ceive chan nels from which to choose. Each chan nel rep re sents
a unique fre quency. For ex am ple, one BTR-800 could be set
on Group 02A and chan nels 01, 02, 03 and 04. The other
BTR-800 could be set on Group 02B chan nels 05, 06, 07 and
08. As long as the chan nels are dif fer ent, everything should
be fine.
The next 12 groups (13 – 24) are sin gle groups that primarily
are used for sin gle (up to 4 beltpacks) BTR-800 sys tems. The
num ber of chan nels from which to choose from in these
groups will vary from group to group.
User-Programmable Groups
The 12 user-programmable groups are ini tially empty. The
trans mit and re ceive fre quen cies are fully editable within these
groups. In fact, fac tory-defined groups may be cop ied to
user-programmable groups and then ed ited if de sired. See the
“BTR-800 Menu Struc ture” and “TR-8XX Menu Struc ture”
in struc tions in this sec tion for de tails on how to copy and edit
fre quen cies.
Sys tem Quick Start
Fol low the list be low to quickly get a base sta tion and
beltpack(s) op er at ing. When com pleted the user should have a
base sta tion and 1 to 4 beltpacks up and run ning with full op er --
a tional abil ity. The base sta tion will be on Group 01A with its
four re ceiv ers on chan nels 01, 02, 03 and 04. Each beltpack
will be on Group 01A with a unique trans mit chan nel num ber
match ing one of the base sta tion re ceive chan nels.
1. Plug-in the base sta tion via the sup plied power cord and
con nect the an ten nas. The color dots on the base should
match the color rings on the an ten nas.
2. Base sta tion rear panel switches: Trans mit power set to
High and on.
3. En sure base sta tion rear panel IC switch matches at tached
wired in ter com sys tem. If used stand alone or con nected to
a 4-wire sys tem then IC switch po si tion is Not Ap pli ca ble.
4. Press [MENU] as pow er ing-up the base sta tion. This will
place it on group 01A and set the re ceives on chan nels: 01,
02, 03, and 04.
5. Place the front panel IC A and IC B “IN” and “OUT” level
con trols in the 12:00 o’clock po si tion. Check that front
panel IC A and B is in 2-wire for AudioCom (Telex), RTS
-TW and ClearCom wired sys tems, and 4-wire for RTS
Ma trix and stand-alone op er a tion.
6. Place bat ter ies in the beltpacks.
7. Re move the rear switch cover on the beltpacks. Set the
beltpack rear panel slide switch to push-to-talk (PT
TALK).
8. Press [MENU] as pow er ing-up each beltpack. This will
place the beltpack on group 01A with the chan nel 01
flash ing.
9. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] ar row but tons to change the
chan nel to match a channel on the base sta tion. Then press
[SET]. If leav ing on chan nel, just press [MENU]. Each
beltpack should have a unique chan nel num ber.
10. The group/chan nel on the beltpack should now match the
group and a re ceive chan nel on the base sta tion. Noth ing
should be flash ing on the beltpack screens.
11. Plug head sets into the beltpacks and set the mi cro phone
gain so the BAT/OM LED will flash at the be gin ning of

Now that you have suc cess fully “set-up” your Telex Wire less
Inter com Sys tem and turned on any aux il iary equip ment, you
are ready to test the over all per for mance by “Walking” the
Telex sys tem through the ar eas in which you will be us ing it.
Be fore you be gin your walk-thru, check the fol low ing:
rBeltpack Bat tery Check.
rSet mi cro phone gain in both the beltpack(s) and the
base sta tion.
rThe base sta tion and beltpack(s) are on the same group
and the beltpack(s) are on their own unique trans port
chan nels that match the base sta tion re ceive chan nels
rCheck that the talk but ton is en gaged. The talk LED
will be il lu mi nated.
rIn ter com Level “IN” and “OUT” are set to an ap pro -

•Poor an tenna lo ca tion
•Wrong an tenna for re ceiver and/ or trans mit ter
•RF “Trou ble Spots”
•Op er ating dis tance be yond sys tem ca pa bil ity.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISTORTION - System’s audio quality seems distorted
at medium to high input levels.
Reduce microphone gain by adjusting microphone gain
control.
HISS - System seems to produce a “hiss” which is
undesirable.
Check the gain setting on all beltpacks and the base. They
may be too low or too high. Check to make sure you are
still well within range of the base station.
LOW OUTPUT - System produces a low output level. Check the gain setting on both the beltpacks and the base.
They may be too low.
FEEDBACK - Moving around area of use produces
“squeal” or “howl” in various locations using ext.
speakers.
Reduce the gain settings on both the beltpacks and the
base. They may be too high.
DROPOUTS - When moving around the area of use there
seems to be locations where the signal “swooshes” or
completely disappears.
Make sure both antennas on the base and beltpack are
connected and follow the location suggestions. Change the
location of the base unit and antennas or avoid the bad
areas with the remote beltpacks.
INTERFERENCE - System picks up signals other than
wireless intercoms.
Make sure that all the Telex beltpack(s) are on. If there are
any unused receivers at the base, turn the audio off from
those receivers by deselecting the appropriate “Portable
Station Connect” button.
If problems persist with the beltpack on, you will probably
need to change the group. Make sure the base and
beltpack match after any Group/Channel change.
NO AUDIO from BASE or BELTPACK headsets.
Check Transmitter switch on base and beltpack. Check
talk LED to make sure it is on. Make sure beltpack
batteries are OK.

Tech Tips
Fre quency In ter ac tion
Un for tu nately, ra dio fre quency (RF) chan nels can not be ran --
domly se lected for use in ra dio de vices. They must be se lected
to avoid known fre quen cies in use, FCC re stric tions on the lo --
ca tion of de vices, and even in ter fer ence be tween your own RF
de vices. The fac tory de fined fre quen cies (Groups 01A-24) se --
lected by Telex for this RadioCom™ sys tem are cho sen to
min i mize pos si ble in ter fer ence.
Mi cro phone Gain Ad just ment
The mi cro phone gain con trols on the base sta tion and beltpack
are set to mid-levels by the fac tory. In most cases this set ting
will work fine and only on loud speech will the
overmodulation (OM) in di ca tor light. How ever, in en vi ron --
ments where the back ground noise is loud or the user has a
strong/quiet voice, the gain con trol will need to be ad justed. In
Fig ure 33 the gain is set cor rectly. The user’s root-mean-square
(RMS) sound level is well be low the OM thresh old and only
on peaks does his or her voice flash the OM in di ca tor light.
Fig ure 34 dis plays the same gain set ting as in Fig ure 33 but
brought into a high noise en vi ron ment. The user’s voice now
lights the OM in di ca tor all the time he or she speaks due to the
higher noise plus the user speak ing louder. The re sult on the
sys tem is dis tor tion on louder speech. The mi cro phone gain
must be re duced. The same ap plies to a user with a pow er ful
voice. If some one sets the sys tem mic gain to their voice and
user has a much stron ger voice, then the gain will need to be
re duced, even if the back ground noise is the same.
Al ways re mem ber to set the mi cro phone gain based on the sit --
u a tion and lo ca tion in which the equip ment will be used. If the
equip ment is used on the field dur ing a foot ball game, set the
gain based upon a loud sta dium, NOT the quiet sta dium 2
hours be fore a game. If a pro duc tion stu dio user has a quiet
voice, set the gain to their voice and NOT the stage hand’s
loud voice who helped set up the sys tem.
