FCC LICENSING
The HME PRO850 is Type Accepted under Part 74 of the United States Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Code of Federal Regulations governing general purpose applications. The system
requires an FCC station license if operated within the United States or its possessions. Licensing of this
equipment is the User’s responsibility. Licensability depends on the User’s classification, equipment
application and frequency selected. The user should contact the appropriate telecommunications authority
for any desired clarification.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications made by the user could void the user’s authority to operate
PRO850 equipment.
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BASE STATION INSTALLERS AND USERS
1. Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas. Antenna minimum safe distance, as calculated
from FCC requirements, is 4.8cm. However, the FCC default for minimum safe distance is 20cm.
Antenna gain: zero dBi referenced to a monopole.
2. The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
(Radio Frequency) energy, which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
3. To comply with current FCC RF exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the
minimum safe distance described here, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna
manufacturer or supplier.
4. Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied by or recommended by the
manufacturer or radio dealer. You may be exposing person or persons to harmful radio frequency
radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions.
5. WARNING: Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to person(s) of at least 20cm.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders
to ensure the minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby
persons for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
Operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of the General Population/Uncontrolled
Exposure Environment for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum
distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.

PRO850 equipment operates in the UHF band from 470 MHz to 740 Hz in 18 MHz subsets. Transmitters and
receivers operate in different, non-adjacent 18 MHz bands. Synthesized frequencies can be selected in 25 kHz
increments over each 18 MHz band, for 720 transmit and 720 different receive frequencies.
Base stations can be configured with up to four receivers and two transmitters, supporting up to four Beltpacs in
full-time transmit, full-duplex operation. Two or three base stations interconnected can support up to twelve
beltpacs operating at once. The channel lockout feature supports several beltpacs sharing the same frequency.
In this mode, one beltpac user on a shared frequency can transmit at a time. If another user is already transmitting
on that frequency, a “busy” signal will be heard. A total of sixteen beltpacs can be used with a system.
A feature can be selected that scans through all available intermodulation-free frequency groups to automatically
configure the system for the best available set of frequencies. Specified frequencies can be saved for quick recall.
The PRO850 can be configured for fixed power output levels or automated output power control. With the
automated feature selected, the PRO850 senses how far a beltpac is from the base station and automatically
determines at what power level the beltpac should be operating, eliminating base station receiver overload and
increasing beltpac battery life.
Two hardwired intercom channels provide simultaneous 2-wire and 4-wire operation.
The base station headset interface automatically detects and accommodates dynamic or electret microphones.
It provides direct access to intercom channels 1 and 2, beltpacs only or all channels.
Any beltpac button can be configured to activate the base paging relay and, at the same time, audio is routed to the
paging output.
The base can be configured to initiate an alert for various conditions, including low battery condition or button
press from a beltpac.
The PRO850 is fully compatible with RTS® and ClearCom® hard-wired intercom systems.
With the provided PC850 software, the base station and beltpacs can be configured on a PC, and configuration
settings can be saved to files. An RS-232 serial port and a USB port on the rear panel of the base station provide
PC interface capability. Beltpacs can also be configured using a Palm-OS PDA with the optional PDA850 software.
The base station can operate from a standard 12-14VDC power source or from an external DC source such as a
vehicle electrical system for mobile operation.

2, then select the multibase wiring configuration;
2-Wire, 2-Wire ISO+ or Aux Dist.
Master:
In the 2-Wire ISO+ mode, beltpacs having a
button configured for Talk Aux must transmit
on frequencies for the master base station for
the feature to work.
Slaves:
In the Aux Dist mode, beltpacs on slave base
stations can only talk on the same channel at
once. If they try to talk on a different channel
than the user already talking, they will hear a
busy signal in their beltpac headset.
A slave cannot have slaves. Therefore, when
Slave 1 or 2 is selected, the Num Slaves
(number of slaves) will automatically be 0.
If a slave base station has a transmitter
installed, it must be turned off. See Base TX
setup.

17
Frequency Scan:
Connect a beltpac to the BELTPAC CONFIG
connector on the front panel of the base station to
enable scanning of base transmit frequencies.
In this operation, the beltpac and base station
receivers are scanned to find the cleanest group of
frequencies for the base station to transmit on, and
they are assigned to TX1 and TX2 in the base
station. Also, based on the number of receivers in
the system (up to 12), it determines the best group
of frequencies for the base station(s) to receive on.
Those frequencies are distributed (first-come,
first-served) to the beltpacs (with the assumption
that 16 beltpacs will be used) as beltpac transmit
frequencies. Beltpac receiver frequencies are
always the same as the base station TX1 and TX2
frequencies.
Beltpac frequency settings will not be operational
until they are uploaded to the beltpacs, which
should be done after completion of beltpac
configuration settings.
These settings will automatically be saved to File 1
as active settings for the base station until the
frequencies are scanned again. They can also be
saved to another file name for future use.
To begin frequency scanning, press the ENTER
button.

PC850 Operation
To open the PC850 software, double click on the PC850 icon on your desktop screen.
When the PC850 opens, the screen below will appear on your PC.
Select the Status, Monitor, Configuration or Information tab with your cursor. The respective screen will
appear with all the same functions and system settings that are available on the PRO850 base station. Place
your cursor over the desired setting on the screen and a drop-down menu will appear with the applicable
selections or information.
PC850 can be operated in either of two modes: Offline or Online. Offline means that the program is operated
without any connection to a PRO850 base station. In this mode, the only screens that can be accessed are under
the Configuration tab. This allows a user to set up configurations and save them to disk so that they can be
loaded into the base station later. While offline, the connection status indicator on the status bar at the bottom of
the window will be red. Online means that the base station is connected to the PC and that a logical connection
between the two has been established.
To switch to online mode, first be sure that an appropriate cable is connected between the base station and the
PC. Then select Connect from the Connect menu or press the Connect button on the toolbar. This will open the
Connect to System dialog box. There, choose the appropriate connection and click Connect. Once online, the
connection status indicator will be green.
The first three tabs on the PC850 window match the first three menus on the BS850 LCD screen: Status,
Monitor, and Configure. The fourth tab, Diagnostics, matches the base station diagnostics menu item under the
Info menu. The functions available on each tab match those available on the base station itself. Depending on
the speed of the PC, it may be necessary to click the Freeze Screen button at the bottom of the window to make
it possible to move away from the Status or Monitor tabs. It is necessary to freeze these screens if you wish to
select a menu item while displaying Status or monitoring audio levels.
A particularly useful feature of PC850 is the ability to display (and alter) the audio connection matrix. This
window shows all possible and active audio connections. To open the window, select Audio Connection Matrix
from the View menu. Once open, the window will display all active connections as check marks beside a green
square. As connections change, the screen will be updated with the new information. To force a manual
32
connection, simply check the desired box(es). To break a connection, uncheck the desired box(es). Note that
two types of connections are shown: Manual connections and dynamic connections. Manual connections result
from configuration settings or functions. Dynamic connections result from Beltpac operations or the front panel
Talk button. Checking a box in the window always results in a manual connection. Manual connections are not
overridden by dynamic operations. However, clearing a connection manually does not prevent a later dynamic
or manual connection from being established. Note that the Audio Connection Matrix window can only be
opened while PC850 is “online”.

CANADA. HME warrants that (a) the SOFTWARE PRODUCT will perform substantially in accordance
with the accompanying written materials for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt, and
(b) any Support Services provided by HME shall be substantially as described in applicable written
materials provided to you by HME, and HME support engineers will make commercially reasonable efforts
to solve any problem issues. Some states and jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you. To the extent allowed by applicable law
and not disclaimed in this Agreement, implied warranties on the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, if any, are
limited to ninety (90) days.
CUSTOMER REMEDIES. HME’s and its suppliers’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be,
at HME’s option, either (a) return of the price paid, if any, or (b) repair or replacement of the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT that does not meet HME’s Limited Warranty and which is returned to HME with a copy of
your receipt. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has resulted from
accident, abuse, or misapplication. Any replacement SOFTWARE PRODUCT will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Outside the United
States, neither these remedies nor any product support services offered by HME are available without proof
of purchase from an authorized international source.
c) NO OTHER WARRANTIES. THE LIMITED WARRANTY ABOVE IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES FOR THE SOFTWARE AND
DOCUMENTATION. HME AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO OTHER CONDITIONS OR
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM ALL OTHER CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
IMPLIED CONDITIONS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT FOR THE SOFTWARE AND
DOCUMENTATION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
d) LIMITED LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY SHALL HME OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ANY COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF
THE LICENSE OF, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE ANY HME SOFTWARE OR
DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF HME HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL HME'S OR ITS SUPPLIERS' LIABILITY EXCEED THE
LICENSE FEE PAID BY YOU. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND RISKS IS REFLECTED IN
THE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE LICENSE.
10) AUDIT. During the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years after termination or expiration, you
will maintain complete records regarding your use and distribution of the Software. Upon reasonable notice to
you, HME may audit, at HME's expense, your books and records to determine your compliance hereunder. In
the event any such audit reveals that you have underpaid HME by an amount greater than five percent (5%) of
the amounts due HME in the period being audited, or that you have knowingly breached any material obligation
hereunder, then, in addition to such other remedies as HME may have, you shall pay or reimburse to HME the
cost of the audit.
