firmly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons.
a. Power On/Off
• Power On – Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message in
the earpiece will say “power on,” and the beltpac number and software version,
and the red power lights next to the A1 and A2 buttons on the beltpac will go on.
After a short time, one light will go off and the other will change to green. The
voice message will then say “Lane 1 (or 2) ready.” The green light indicates the
COMMUNICATOR® is ready to use. In dual-lane operations, a green light next to A1
indicates ready on Lane 1 and a green light next to A2 indicates ready on Lane 2.
• Power Off – Press and hold the PWR button for approximately two seconds. A
voice message in the earpiece will say “power off,” and the power lights will go off.
b. Volume Up/Down
• Volume Up Adjustment – Press and release the volume-up S button. Each time
it is pressed, a beep will be heard in the earpiece as the volume increases one step.
When maximum volume is reached, “maximum” will be heard in the earpiece. If you
press and hold the volume-up button, repeating beeps will be heard as the volume
steps up to maximum. “Maximum” will be heard in the earpiece, and will be
repeated until you release the volume-up button.
• Volume Down Adjustment – Press and release the volume-down T button.
Each time it is pressed, a beep will be heard in the earpiece as the volume
decreases one step. When minimum volume is reached, a double beep will be

COMMUNICATOR® battery-release latch
TO CHANGE BATTERIES: When a battery becomes weak, a voice in the earpiece will say
“Change battery.” When this happens, take the Communicator out of its pouch and remove
its battery. Slide the battery-release latch in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 5.
Pull up on the end of the battery near the battery-release latch and lift the battery out of the
Communicator, or turn the Communicator over and catch the battery in your hand.
TO REPLACE BATTERIES: When replacing a battery in the Communicator, place the
end of the battery with the metal contacts into the battery holder on the Communicator, in
the same position as the battery you removed. Press the top of the battery carefully into
the battery holder until it snaps in place under the battery-release latch.
5. COMMUNICATOR® Registration
During installation of the Wireless 6000 system, each Communicator was registered for
use with a specific base station. The base station thereby recognizes all registered
Communicators when their power is on, differentiating between them and interfering
transmissions from other electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies. If a
Communicator is replaced, the new one must be registered. A maximum of 15
Communicators can be registered.
When a Communicator is replaced, the old one remains in memory. If the maximum
number of 15 is exceeded, all current registrations must be cleared, and all active
Communicators must be re-registered. To clear all current registrations, press the
“Clear All Registration” button and the “Reset” button simultaneously. Refer to Figure 6
below. Continue holding the “Clear All Registration” button after releasing the “Reset”
button, until the clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the Communicator ID display.
All active Communicators can then be registered, one at a time.
Register each Communicator as follows:
• Be certain all Communicators to be registered are powered off and the base station
power is on.
• Open the base station and press the registration button shown in Figure 6.
⎯ If no Communicators are powered on, the status light shown in Figure 6 will be blinking
red. If any Communicators are powered on, the status light will be blinking green.
⎯ After you press the registration button, the Communicator ID display will show a
small “o” for open.
• Press and hold the B button while pressing and releasing the PWR (power) button to
turn the Communicator on, then release the B button. This will cause the Communicator
to enter the registration mode.
⎯ The status light in the base station will be blinking green, and the Communicator ID
display will continue to show a small “o” for open.
⎯ The power lights next to the A1 and A2 buttons on the Communicator will be
blinking red then will change to green.
When the registration is successfully completed:
⎯ The green status light in the base station will be on steady and the Communicator
ID display, to the left of the status light, will show the ID number assigned to this
Communicator. ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E.
⎯ One of the power lights on the Communicator will remain on steady green.

C. Battery Charger
Up to four batteries can be charged in the charger at the same time. Charging time is
approximately 2.5 hours. 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 battery in one of four charging ports until it clicks in place.
• Yellow light next to each battery port stays on while port is empty. When battery is in port,
yellow light flashing next to battery port indicates CHARGE PENDING, which means the
temperature where the charger is located is out of the battery’s operating range (32o-104oF,
0o-40oC). Adjust the room temperature or move the charger to a cooler area. When battery
is in port, yellow light on steady next to battery port means CHARGE FAILED. Follow
diagnostic instructions on side of battery charger.
• Red CHARGING light next to battery port stays on while battery is charging.
• Green READY light next to battery port goes on when battery is fully charged.
• Store fully charged batteries in storage ports.
CAUTION: Do not remove batteries from the charger until the green READY
light is lit, or the charger will reset and the charge cycle will begin again.

WIRELESS 6000 OPERATION
The COM6000BP can be operated in Hands-Free (HF), Auto-Hands-Free (AHF) or Push-To-Talk (PTT)
modes. If your store does not have HF capability, the Wireless 6000 should be operated according to
section III. A. 3. below in single-lane stores, or section III. B. 3. (page 9) in dual-lane stores.
A full-duplex system supports HF, AHF and PTT operation. Communication can be transmitted and
received at the same time, as in a normal telephone conversation. In the AHF mode, transmission
and reception are activated automatically when a customer drives into the drive-thru lane. In the HF
mode, transmission and reception are activated by touching and releasing one of the A buttons on
the Communicator. In the PTT mode, one of the A buttons on the Communicator must be held while
the operator is talking to the customer. A half-duplex system only supports the PTT mode. One of
the A buttons on the Communicator must be held while the operator speaks to the customer. The
customer’s voice will not be heard while the operator is transmitting.
When a customer arrives in the drive-thru lane, you will hear a single beep in the headset for single
lane operations and for Lane 1 in dual-lane operations, or a double beep for Lane 2 in dual-lane
operations. In dual-lane operation, if you are communicating with a customer when another customer
arrives in the opposite lane, a higher pitch double beep will sound in the headset. When the first
customer leaves the speaker post, the same high pitch double beep will repeat in your headset
every four seconds until you touch the A1 or A2 button to communicate with the second customer.
NOTE: In dual-lane operations, if you have a Mode Switch and it is in the “2 OPERATORS” position,
you will only hear single beeps in your headset when customers arrive in the lane you are operating.

2400MHz cordless telephone interference –
If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However,
because the Wireless 6000 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely.
If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem.
If not, move the phone as far as practical from the base station, or use another type
phone. Call HME Customer Support at 1-800-848-4468 if assistance is required.
In the event of an electrical power outage –
such as from a lightning storm or power generator failure, if you experience problems
with your HME equipment after the electricity comes on again, unplug the AC power
adapters from their electrical outlets and wait 15 seconds, then plug them back in.
