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 red power lights next to the A1 and A2 buttons at each end of the Communicator 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 heard. If you press and hold the volume-down button, repeating beeps will be heard as the volume steps down to minimum. 4. How to Operate the Communicator a. To Talk to Customers • Non-Hands-Free Communication – To set the Communicator for non-hands-free communication, with the power off, press and hold the volume-down T and B buttons while pressing and releasing the PWR button to turn the power on. To operate in the non-hands-free mode, press and hold the A1 or A2 button while speaking into the microphone. When you have finished talking to the customer, release the button. • Hands-Free Communication – To set the Communicator for hands-free (HF) communication, with the power off, press and hold the volume-up S and B buttons while pressing and releasing the PWR button to turn the power on. To operate in the HF mode, press and release the A1 or A2 button and speak into the microphone. When you have finished talking to the customer, press and release the B button or wait for the car to leave. • Auto-Hands-Free Communication – To set the Communicator for auto-hands-free (AHF) communication, with the power off, press and hold the volume-up S and A1 buttons for single-lane operation or Lane 1 of dual-lane operations, volume-up S and A2 buttons for Lane 2 of dual-lane operations. Only one Communicator at a time can operate in the AHF mode. If an operator attempts to set a second Communicator for AHF operation, “System busy” will be heard in its headset. If a Communicator is turned off while in the AHF mode, it will automatically be reset for non-AHF operation. In dual-lane operation, a Communicator operator using the AHF mode cannot change lanes. b. To Talk to Other Crew Members Press and hold the B button and speak into the microphone. Holding the B button allows normal, telephone-type (full-duplex) conversation. Release the button when you finish speaking. Up to four crew members can talk at the same time without interference.
6 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. A maximum of 15 Communicators can be registered. If a Communicator is replaced, the new one must be registered, but 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 8 on page 14. 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 near the lower-left corner of the base station circuit board shown in Figure 8. ⎯ If no Communicators are powered on, the status light shown in Figure 8 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. Figure 5.

7 6. Battery Removal and Replacement 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 6. 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. C. Battery Charger • 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. Battery-release latch Figure 6.

8 III. WIRELESS 6000 OPERATION The Communicator can be operated in Hands-Free, Auto-Hands-Free or Hands-Free-Off modes. If this store does not use Hands-Free capability, the Wireless 6000 should be operated according to section 3.3.1 number 3 below in single-lane stores, or section 3.3.2 number 3 in dual-lane stores. A full-duplex system supports the Hands-Free, Auto-Hands-Free and Hands-Free-Off modes. Communication can be transmitted and received at the same time, as in a normal telephone conversation. In the Auto-Hands-Free mode, transmission and reception are activated automatically when a customer drives into the drive-thru lane. In the Hands-Free mode, transmission and reception are activated by touching and releasing one of the A buttons on the Communicator. In the Hands-Free-Off 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 Hands-Free-Off 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. Also 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 to alert you of the second customer’s presence. When the first customer leaves the speaker post, the same higher 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. A. Single-Lane Operation (one base station for one speaker post) 1. Hands-Free (HF) Mode: ! As a customer enters the drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board. ! Use volume-up S or down T buttons to adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Touch and release A1 or A2 button to speak and listen to customer. ! Touch and release A1, A2 or B button to end communication with customer. ! Touch and release A1 or A2 button if you want to speak to the customer again. ! If customer drives away from speaker post or menu board, headset automatically stops transmitting. 2. Auto Hands-Free (AHF) Mode: ! As a customer enters the drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board. ! Use volume-up S or down T buttons to adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Speak and listen to customer without pressing any buttons. ! Touch and release A1, A2 or B button to end communication with customer. ! Touch and release A1 or A2 button if you want to speak to the customer again. ! If customer drives away from speaker post or menu board, headset automatically stops transmitting. 3. Hands-Free-Off Mode: ! As a customer enters the drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board. ! Use volume-up S or down T buttons to adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Touch and hold A1 or A2 button to speak to customer. Release when finished. NOTE: To communicate internally with another COM6000BP user, press and hold the B button while talking. Release when finished. Up to four Communicator operators can have conference-call type communication by all pressing the A1, A2 or B button. Everyone pressing the same button will be heard by everyone else on that channel without interference. If a car arrives in the drive-thru lane while internal communication is taking place, priority will be given to one A channel for customer communication, which will reduce the number of internal communication channels available.
9 B. Dual-Lane Operation (two base stations for two speaker posts) 1. Hands-Free (HF) Mode: ! As a customer enters a drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep for Lane 1, double beep for Lane 2) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board if that lane is selected. ! Adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Touch and release A1 button for Lane 1 or A2 for Lane 2, to speak and listen to customer. ! Touch and release A1, A2 (depending on lane) or B button to end communication with customer. ! Touch and release A1 button for Lane 1 or A2 for Lane 2, to speak to the customer again. ! To change lanes, touch and release the opposite A button. ! If customer drives away from speaker post or menu board, headset automatically stops transmitting. 2. Auto Hands-Free (AHF) Mode: NOTE: Only one Communicator operator can use this feature at a time. When operating in the AHF mode, changing lanes is not possible. ! As a customer enters a drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep for Lane 1, double beep for Lane 2) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board if that lane is selected. ! Adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Speak and listen to customer without pressing any buttons. ! Touch and release A1, A2 (depending on lane) or B button to end communication with customer. ! Touch and release A1 button for Lane 1 or A2 for Lane 2, to speak to the customer again. ! If customer drives away from speaker post or menu board, headset automatically stops transmitting. 3. Hands-Free-Off Mode: ! As a customer enters a drive-thru lane, you will hear an alert tone (single beep for Lane 1, double beep for Lane 2) in your headset, and you will be able to hear the customer at the speaker post or menu board if that lane is selected. ! Adjust customer’s voice level in headset if necessary. ! Touch and hold A1 button to speak to customer in Lane 1; A2 to speak to customer in Lane 2. C. Internal Communication To communicate internally with other Communicator operators, press and hold the B button while talking. Release when finished. In dual-lane operations, depending on how your Wireless 6000 system was set up, internal communication may be heard only by Communicator operators in your lane (“Split-B” operation). If your system was not set up for Split-B operation, internal communication will be heard by all Communicator operators in both lanes. In dual-lane operations, up to three Communicator operators can have conference-call type communication by all pressing the A1, A2 or B button. Everyone pressing the same button will be heard by everyone else on that channel without interference. If a car arrives in either drive-thru lane while internal communication is taking place, priority will be given to one A channel for customer communication, which will reduce the number of internal communication channels available. D. Speed-Team Operation Speed team operation is used during high-volume times. An order taker wearing a Communicator relays orders from outside into the store, using button B. Placing the speed-team switch, on the base station, in the ON position (shown in Figure 1) will disable the outside speaker/microphone and the vehicle-alert tone.
