The LRT Microphone is a specialized device designed to be used exclusively with WatchGuard’s family of vehicle-based digital video recorder (DVR) products. This Guide’s purpose is to describe the proper connection, installation and use of the LRT Microphone. General Operation The LRT connects directly to all WatchGuard DVR products to supply one of the audio tracks during the video recording process. The LRT microphone is a system with two primary devices; the Transmitter and the Base. The user (for example, a police officer) will wear the Transmitter device on their body. This device should be attached to the user’s belt with one of the two available spring-loaded clips. Like the DVR, the LRT Base device mounts in a vehicle using one of several brackets and attaches to the DVR using a cable. The Base device also requires an antenna connection to provide the wireless radio link to the Transmitter device. This antenna is supplied as part of the LRT microphone system and mounts to the vehicle windshield using an adhesive. -4- WGD00091 Revision B Base Unit WGD00091 Revision B -5- Antenna Connection Connect the window mount antenna at this point. Only 900MHz antennas available from WatchGuard Video should be used. Wireless performance and audio quality will be affected if a non-approved antenna is used. Warning: The RP-SMA connector should be finger tightened only. No hand tools should be used when making the antenna connection. Red and Green Status LEDs The green LED on the Base will light when communicating with the Transmitter device. The LED will light solid green when the voice recording is enabled. The LED will flash when the Base is attempting to synchronize (bind) with the Transmitter. The red LED on the Base will light only when the transmitter is inserted into the base. The LED will light red when the battery is charging and green when the battery is fully charged. As the transmitter approaches full charge, this LED will slowly change in color from red to amber to green. DVR Cable Connection Connect the digital video recording system interface cable to this point. -6- WGD00091 Revision B SYSTEM CONTROLS AND FEATURES Transmitter Unit WGD00091 Revision B -7- TALK/MUTE Slide Switch This control is used to enable microphone voice recording and to mute the audio during a recording. When the transmitter power is turned on and the transmitter is synchronized with the base, slide this control down to begin voice recording. Once activated, the green Talk/Mute LED will light and remain solid. Pressing the button again will stop the recording function; the Talk/Mute LED will turn off. Behavior of the TALK button function can be overridden by the video system. Settings on the video system can, for example, force the recording function to remain on even though the transmitter TALK button is pressed. See the video system user manual for complete details. With transmitter voice recording enabled, the MUTE button can be pressed to suppress detection of the voice by both the internal and externally connected (lapel) microphones. Once pressed, the Talk/Mute LED will flash. The transmitter will continue to keep the recording enabled but there will be no voice audio present in the recording. Press the MUTE button again to re-enable the voice audio; the Talk/Mute LED will go back to a solid green LED. Mode Button The MODE button is used to select the notification mode. The default notification mode is a beep. Pressing this button will change the mode to vibrate. Pressing it again will change the mode to a beep and vibrate combination. Pressing it again will disable the notification mode. Pressing it again will select the default beep mode. The notification mode selection rotates in a sequence of Ring > Vibrate > Ring + Vibrate > Silent for each button press. The ability to change the notification mode is only available in standby mode. That is, only when the voice recording function is stopped. The mode selection is only retained while the transmitter power is ON. Once the transmitter power is turned OFF, the notification mode will be reset to Ring once power is turned back ON. LCD Backlight Control Button Press this button to turn on the LCD backlight. This will allow the LCD status icons to be more easily viewed in low light conditions. Covert Mode Covert mode disables all light and sound coming from the Transmitter unit. To enter covert mode, hold the mode button down for 3 seconds. Once in covert mode, the LCD backlight, green LED and red LED will be disabled. The LCD status icon will still show the current status of the system. The backlight status LCD icon will indicate the system is in covert mode. To exit covert mode and return to normal operation, depress the mode button for 3 seconds or, press the mode button twice. -8- WGD00091 Revision B External Microphone Jack Connect the accessory lapel microphone to this jack. Transmitter Power On/Off Use this switch to turn the transmitter unit power on and off. This switch must be in the ON position for the transmitter to synchronize with the base and for all transmitter-recording functions to operate properly. WGD00091 Revision B -9- SET UP AND OPERATION * Please turn off the power to the video system before connecting or disconnecting any microphone system cables. The following operational scenarios assume the wireless microphone system has been installed following the instructions found in the WatchGuard Video “Microphone Installation Instructions – WGD00011”. Synchronizing the Transmitter and Base 1. Ensure the DVR is installed properly and the RJ-45 signal cable is connected to the microphone base. 2. Turn on the DVR power. 3. Turn the microphone transmitter power switch to ON and place the transmitter in the recharge cradle of the base. The transmitter goes in the base with the WatchGuard logo facing out. 4. The base’s green TALK LED and the transmitter Talk/Mute LED will both light and flash during the synchronize operation. Once the synchronize operation is successful, the TALK LED on the base and the Talk/Mute LED on the transmitter will go dark. (If the green LEDs continue to flash, synchronization is not successful. See the troubleshooting section of this manual.) 5. The transmitter and base are now synchronized and will continue to be synchronized until another transmitter is linked to that base or the base is powered off. Normal Operation 1. With the transmitter synchronized to the base, remove it from the cradle, plug in the lapel microphone (if used) and mount the transmitter on your belt with one of the two available clips. 2. To start the recording, press the TALK button. The transmitter’s Talk/Mute LED will light a constant green. Voice recording is now enabled and all audio detected by the microphone will be saved with the DV-1 system video. 3. To end recording, press the TALK button, The Talk/Mute LED will turn off. 4. At the end of your shift turn the transmitter OFF by sliding the transmitter power switch to the OFF position. Replace the transmitter in the base charging cradle. - 10 - WGD00091 Revision B Out of Range If you use the transmitter too far away from the base during recording, the transmitter will alert you with the selected notification mode and the transmitter’s red Range/Batt LED will light. Move closer to the base and the link will be re-established. The Range/Batt LED will go out when link is back to normal operation. If you went out of range in Standby mode (voice recording off), re-enter normal range and operation will return to normal. If you will be out of range for a long period of time, turn the transmitter off. Low Battery Warning If the transmitter beeps and the Range/Batt LED flashes, return the transmitter to its base charging cradle to fully charge the transmitter. The base’s BATT LED indicator will light constant green when the unit is fully charged. WGD00091 Revision B - 11 - GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE Compatibility The transmitter and receiver base must be synchronized to work together by placing the transmitter into the charging cradle base while transmitter and base power are on. The base’s TALK and the transmitter’s Talk/Mute LED will flash until synchronization occurs. Any transmitter can be synchronized with any receiver base. Using Multiple Wireless Systems The system has multiple “channels” that are really different frequency hopping schemes. Each synchronized base and transmitter will automatically find a clear channel so up to 26 systems can work together in one location depending on other interference problems. Potential Sources of Interference There are many potential sources of interference for your wireless system. The microphone operates in the 900MHz frequency band and other devices in that band may interfere. The spread spectrum technique used in the microphone is very robust and should operate even in the presence of other 900MHz devices. - 12 - WGD00091 Revision B TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Operating Voltage Transmitter: 3.7VDC Base: 12VDC Frequency Operating Range LED Indicators Jacks Battery 900MHz (902.25 ~ 928.00 MHz) – 52 channels, digital spread spectrum, 16 million Auto-Security code combinations.
