Typical Single Lane Installation 
Figure 1.  Typical Installation 
Material Required (not supplied) 
•  3/4–inch conduit (metal or plastic) – 2 pieces 4–5 feet in length 
•  conduit clamps 
•  assortment of sheet metal screws 
•  two sets of 18–gauge, twisted–pair (two wires each set) audio cable, sufficient in length to connect the 
speaker and microphone assembly (in the menu sign) to the interconnect module or base station. 
! Important 
The twisted–pair of wires for the microphone connection must be shielded for 
proper operation.  In duplex systems, microphone and speaker cannot be in the 
same jacket unless specially designed for duplex such as 3M 78–8095–0180–8. 
•  sufficient twisted–pair sets of audio cable to connect other components such as monitor speaker, vehicle 
detection device, etc. 

2 
Battery Charger 
Install the battery charger and begin charging the batteries before you install any other components. 
Install the battery charger in a clean, dry environment.  An office location is best. 
The battery charger may be placed on a flat surface such as a table, desk, etc., or it can be fastened to a wall using 
the optional wall–mount kit. 
Plug the power supply transformer into a 120–Volt wall outlet and then plug the transformer cord into the 
connector in the end of the battery charger.  The three green lights on the battery charger will turn on. 
To charge a battery, plug it into the charger as shown in Figure 2.  Observe the charging status indicator next to 
the battery: 
•  The indicator lights RED to indicate the battery is charging. 
•  The indicator lights GREEN to indicate the battery is fully charged. 
9 Note 
Discharged batteries require 1–1/2 to 2 hours to charge. 
When the battery voltage becomes too low, a short, low volume tone, occurring at seven–second intervals is 
heard in the headset.  This repeating tone continues for two minutes.  After the two–minute interval, the headset 
automatically turns off to prevent battery damage. 
Figure 2.  Battery Chargers (3–Slot and 6–Slot Versions)

Speaker and Microphone Assemblies 
Standard Systems 
For standard systems, install the Deluxe 5–Inch Speaker and Microphone Assembly, Part Number 78–6911–
1545–1.  Refer to the installation instructions packaged with the assembly. 
Duplex Systems 
For duplex systems, install the 3.5–Inch Duplex Microphone (with foam housing), Part Number 78–6911–4476–
6 and the 5–Inch Metal Speaker Assembly, Part Number 78–6911–4411–3.  Refer to the installation instructions 
packaged with the assemblies. 
Base Station 
1.  For proper system operation, locate the base station module: 
•  5 to 6 feet above the floor 
•  at least 10 feet from the cashier/drive–thru window 
•  At least 3 feet from large metal objects such as refrigerators, ranges, coolers, etc., and other metal or 
electrical devices. 
! Important 
Do not mount base station under steel countertops, within 3 feet of 
coolers/refrigerators/ranges or in areas where it will be obscured by steel 
doors, walls, etc. as this will cause operational problems. 
2.  Mount the base station using the included screws and anchors.  (See Figure 3.) 
Figure 3.  Base Station Mounting Holes 
3.  Install conduit and cable clamps as necessary. 
4.  Feed the cables for speaker, microphone, vehicle detect and monitor speaker (if used) through the conduit 
down to the interconnect module or base station.  (See Figure 1.) 
5.  Feed the transformer cable from the outlet to the base station.  (See Figure 1.) 
Keep the transformer cable at least 6 inches from the left half of the base station.  This half contains sensitive 
radio components which will be affected if the cable is too close. 

4 
Programming Station 
1.  For proper system operation, locate the programming station module 18 inches or less from the base station.  
An 18 inch cable is provided to connect between the base station and the programming station. 
! Important 
Allow enough room below the programming station to allow insertion of the 
headset while it is being programmed.  Do not mount programming station too 
close above the countertop or other wall-mounted object. 
2.  Mount the programming station module using the included screws and anchors.  (See Figure 4.) 
Figure 4.  Programming Station Mounting Holes 
3.  Connect the 18 inch long programming cable provided between the base station programming jack and the 
programming station jack. 
4.  If needed, connect the programming cable for use with C860 and C960 headsets and allow it to hang from 
the programming station 

5 
Connecting the Base Station Directly to Components 
If an interconnect module is not used, connect the components (vehicle detector, speaker/microphone and 
optional monitor speaker) directly to the base station as shown in Figure 5.  Use 18–20 gauge twisted pair audio 
wire for all connections except the microphone.  Use an 18–20 gauge shielded twisted–pair of audio wire for the 
connection to the microphone. 
! Important 
The twisted–pair of wires for the microphone connection must be shielded for 
proper operation.  In duplex systems, microphone and speaker cannot be in the 
same jacket unless specially designed for duplex such as 3M 78–8095–0180–8. 
Figure 5.  Direct Base Station–to–Component Connections 

6 
Connecting the Base Station to Components Using the Optional Interconnect 
Module 
Connect the base station to the interconnect module as shown in Figure 6.  Note that the connections are made to 
the “TO CONTROL MODULE” terminals on the interconnect module. 
Figure 6.  Base Station – Interconnect Module Connections 
Connect the components (vehicle detector, speaker/microphone, and optional monitor speaker) to the 
interconnect module as shown in Figure 7.  Note that the connections are made to the “TO OUTSIDE” terminals 
on the interconnect module. 
*Note 
If an optional back–up (auxiliary) intercom is connected to the “TO AUXILIARY INTERCOM” 
on the interconnect module, the base station must be turned off to enable operation/usage of the 
back–up intercom. 
Use 18–20 gauge twisted–pair audio wire for all connections except the microphone.  Use an 18–20 gauge 
shielded twisted–pair audio wire for the connection to the microphone.

Connecting the Auxiliary Intercom (Optional) 
*Note 
The base station must be turned off to enable operation/use of the auxiliary intercom. 
1.  Connect the auxiliary intercom to the “TO AUXILIARY INTERCOM” terminals on the interconnect module 
as shown in Figure 8 through Figure 10 (depending on the model of intercom used). 
The presence alert shown is wired to operate only when the Model C1060 is turned off. 
If a separate outside microphone is used, the auxiliary intercom must be configured for OUTSIDE MIC.  
Refer to the Auxiliary Intercom Installation Instructions for information about moving any internal jumpers.

9 
! Important 
If you use a D–30 as the auxiliary intercom, a separate monitor speaker must 
be provided for the Model C1060.  (Both the Model C1060 and D–30 
intercoms require separate monitor speakers.) 
Figure 10.  D–30 Connections 
Dual Lane System Installation 
A dual lane system consists of two separate single lane systems that operate independently of each other.  Each 
single lane system has its own dedicated base station and headset(s). 
To install a dual lane system: 
1.  Install two single lane systems as outlined in these installation instructions. 
! Important 
Base station models C921 and earlier must be mounted at least 25 feet apart.  
Base station models C922 may be mounted as close as 2 feet apart. 
2.  With the base stations turned off, set jumper J3 on one of the base stations so that it jumpers pins 1 and 2.  
This designates the base station as a lane 1 system. 
3.  Set jumper J3 on the other base station so that it jumpers pins 2 and 3.  This designates the base station as a 
lane 2 system. 
! Important 
Do not set both base stations to the same lane number as this will cause 
operational problems. 
4.  Turn on both base stations and press the RESET SWITCH on each of the base station circuit boards to “read” 
the jumper setting into the microprocessor. 
10 
5.  Select a channel for each of the base stations.  (See page 15 for the channel selection procedure.)  After you 
select the channel, press the RESET SWITCH on the base station circuit boards to “read” the selection into 
the microprocessor. 
6.  Re–program the headsets as instructed on page 16. 
7.  Check the operation of each of the systems.  Note that the alert tone for the Lane 1 system headsets is a 
single repeating “beep” while the alert tone for the Lane 2 system headsets is a double repeating “beep.” 
Cross-Lane System Installation 
The Cross-Lane system provides communication for facilities that have two menu signs.  It consists of two base 
stations that are connected to a Cross-Lane Module.  A Cross-Lane Module is a five-pole switch that allows the 
two systems to be separated during hours of peak activity.  Refer to the installation instructions (Document 
Number 78-6912-0487) included with the Cross Lane Module (P/N78-6911-4396-6).  These instructions are also 
located in the Wireless Intercom Service Manual. 
A Cross-Lane Module can be useful if the manager wishes to operate each lane with a separate crew during 
periods of peak activity.  This is accomplished by turning the Cross-Lane switch OFF.  By pressing the T1 
button on any headset, the operator can communicate with a customer at menu sign 1.  By pressing the T2 button 
on any headset, another operator can communicate with a customer at menu sign 2.  When the Cross-Lane 
Module is OFF, the operator will only hear the vehicle detector alert from the menu sign with which he or she 
last talked. 
During periods of lower activity, the Cross-Lane Module is turned ON, allowing one headset order-taker to 
operate both lanes.  When the cross-lane module is turned ON, the operator will always hear vehicle detector 
alerts from both menu signs.  A single alert indicates a vehicle is at menu sign 1 while a double alert indicates a 
vehicle is at menu sign 2. 

11 
Installation 
Notes:  Both base stations must be set to the same channel number and different lane numbers. 
  Base station models C921 and earlier must be mounted at least 25 feet apart.  Base station models C922 
may be mounted as close as 2 feet apart.  Test the system prior to installation by placing the base 
stations in the desired locations.  Set Jumpers and program the headsets.  Insure that the talk L.E.D. on 
the proper base station lights when the appropriate (T1 and T2) button on the headset is pressed. 
Wiring the System  
Figure 11.  Cross-Lane Wiring Diagram 
Programming the Headsets for Cross-Lane Operation 
Follow the steps below to program the headsets for Cross-Lane operation, and disable the Talk-Lock function.  
It does not matter which base station is used to program the headsets.  By pressing T1, the headset will always 
communicate with the lane 1 base station; by pressing T2, the headset will always communicate with the lane 2 
base station. 
1.  Disable the Talk Lock function 
Talk-Lock is a toggle function that must be checked first to see if it is enabled or disabled.  If the Talk LED 
lights when the L button is pressed, Talk-Lock is enabled. 
•  To disable Talk-Lock, turn the headset OFF, press and hold the L button while pressing ON for 5 
seconds.  You will hear an acknowledging beep. 

12 
•  Recheck the Talk-Lock function by pressing the L button.  The Talk LED on the base station should not 
light. 
2.  Program the Headsets for Cross-Lane Operation 
•  With the headset OFF, press and hold T1 and T2 while pressing ON for 5 seconds.  You will hear an 
acknowledging beep. 
•  Verify that the headsets are properly programmed for Cross-Lane operation: 
- Press T1 and verify that the Talk LED lights on the lane 1 base station and does not light on the 
lane 2 base station.  
- Press T2 and verify that the Talk LED lights on the lane 2 base station and does not light on the 
lane 1 base station. 
•  To remove the Cross-Lane function and return the headsets to the normal operating mode, first turn the 
headset OFF, and then hold down T1 while pressing ON for 5 seconds.  You will hear an 
acknowledging beep. 
Operation 
Cross-Lane Module OFF 
Vehicle detector alerts 
The operator will only hear the vehicle detector alert from the menu sign with which he or she last 
talked.  Vehicles at menu sign 1 will be heard as a single repeating alert.  Vehicles at menu sign 2 will 
be heard as a double repeating alert. 
Answering customers 
Pressing T1 will only allow communication with the lane 1 customer.  Pressing T2 will only allow 
communication with the lane 2 customer. 
Paging function 
Pressing T1 will only allow communication with other headsets, which recently pressed T1.  Pressing 
T2 will only allow communication with other headsets, which recently pressed T2. 
Cross-Lane Module ON 
Vehicle detector alerts 
The operator will always hear both vehicle detector alerts.  Vehicles at menu sign 1 will be heard as a 
single repeating alert.  Vehicles at menu sign 2 will be heard as a double repeating alert. 
Answering customers 
Pressing T1 will only allow communication with the lane 1 customer.  Pressing T2 will only allow 
communication with the lane 2 customer. 
Paging function 
Pressing T1 will only allow communication with other headsets, which recently pressed T1.  Pressing 
T2 will only allow communication with other headsets, which recently pressed T2. 
13 
Notes: 
1.  Both vehicle alert tones will be heard at all times with the Cross-Lane Module ON 
The order-taker may object to hearing the vehicle alert from the other lane while taking an order; if so, we 
suggest you decrease ALERT TONE LEVEL on each base station so it is audible in the headsets but not 
objectionable.  The tone should be low enough so that the order-taker can ignore it, yet know that someone is 
waiting at the other lane. 
2.  Listening and Paging in a Cross Lane system 
With the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT wires disconnected, the T1 and T2 buttons control which menu sign 
to talk or listen to.  They also control which headsets to PAGE to.  Disconnecting the AUDIO IN and 
AUDIO OUT wires presents some issues if a cook or cashier needs to monitor both lanes: 
•  If the cook or cashier is using a headset to monitor lane 1, and the order-taker is taking an order from 
menu lane 2, or if the order-taker needs to PAGE the cashier, he/she must first press T1 momentarily, 
then press PAGE to communicate privately with the cashier on lane 1.  Then the order-taker can press T2 
to resume taking the order on lane 2. 
•  As an alternative, a monitor speaker from each base station may be installed in the kitchen.  (Caution: 
Monitor speakers are generally not recommended for duplex systems using C921AA base stations.  The 
speaker location and volume are usually too critical to avoid feedback.  C921BA and C922 base stations 
can usually be configured successfully to allow operation of monitor speakers.) 
3.  The vehicle alerts may echo in the headsets 
With the Cross-Lane module turned ON, two rapid single tones may be heard from the lane 1 base station.  
To eliminate this problem, turn down the volume of the ALERT TONE LEVEL control, on one of the base 
stations. 

14 
System Configurations and Function Jumper Settings 
! Important 
Whenever a jumper setting is changed, the RESET SWITCH on the base station circuit board must be pressed 
to program the new jumper setting into the microprocessor.  Also, each of the headsets in the system must be 
reprogrammed when a jumper setting is changed (see Channel Selection on page 13 for the headset 
programming procedure). 
Determine the system type (standard operation – single lane, etc.) and identify the type of speaker (speaker only 
or speaker and microphone) and the type of vehicle detector (air switch or loop/SODAR detector). 
Refer to the base station circuit board illustration (Figure 14) and the applicable system configuration below.  Set 
the function jumpers as noted and per the type of speaker and vehicle detector in the system.  (An illustration of 
the circuit board also appears on the decal inside of the base station half–cover.)

16 
Channel Selection 
The Model C1060 Headset Intercom System can operate on any one of eight different channels.* 
Select a channel that neither receives or causes interference and then program the headsets to that channel using 
the following procedure: 
1.  Pull slightly outward on the lower right side of the base station half–cover and then lift and remove the cover 
as shown in Figure 12. 
Figure 12.  Removing the Half–Cover from the Base Station 
2.  With the base station turned on, press and release the CHANNEL SELECT switch once.  (This advances the 
system to the next channel.)  One of the red indicators (1–8) will light, indicating the newly selected channel. 
! Important 
After making any changes to the base station jumper settings, you must press 
the RESET SWITCH to “read” the new settings into the microprocessor. 
! Important 
When two systems are used in a dual lane application, each base station must 
be set to the same channel, and one base station must be set to Lane 1 and the 
other to Lane 2. 
*Note 
If you are installing this as a single lane system, 8 channels on the LANE 2 setting are also 
available for use. 

17 
Channel Selection (Cont.) 
Figure 13.  Base Station Circuit Board 
3.  With the headset/belt pack turned off, plug one end of the programming cable into the headset programming 
jack. 
4.  Plug the other end of the programming cable into the base station modular jack. 
5.  Turn on the headset/belt pack.  (Audible tones will be heard in the headset earpiece indicating that 
programming is complete.) 
The headset/belt pack is now programmed to the same channel as the base station. 
Repeat the channel selection procedure if interference occurs.  After seven channel changes, the original channel 
will again be encountered.  If interference is still present and the system is a single lane system, try changing the 
J3 lane designation jumper from lane 1 to lane 2.  If this fails and none of the channels are interference free, 
contact your 3M representative. 
Setting Audio Levels 
To set the audio levels, refer to the related audio level procedure below and to the illustration of the base station 
circuit board (Figure 14).  All the audio level adjustment controls are located on the base station circuit board.  
(An illustration of the circuit board also appears on the decal mounted to the base station.)  
18 
Duplex Systems Only 
The following procedure sets system audio levels for duplex systems so that headset/belt pack volume controls 
have enough “range” to allow operators to adjust headset volume to their preference. 
*Note 
The microphone at the menu sign must be located within four feet of the vehicle for duplex 
operation. 
To set the audio levels: 
1.  Turn the base station MENU MIC SENS control to minimum (CCW). 
2.  Adjust the headset volume control to maximum. 
3.  Press the headset Talk switch, and set the base station outbound (DAY/NIGHT) audio levels to the desired 
level at the post/sign. 
4.  Press and hold the headset/belt pack Talk switch, and turn the base station MENU MIC SENS control up 
(CW) until feedback occurs. Then turn the MENU MIC SENS level control down (CCW) until the feedback 
stops. 
5.  Check each additional headset/belt pack (to be used in the system) at maximum volume. Verify that feedback 
does not occur. If feedback occurs, adjust the MENU MIC SENS level down until the feedback stops. 
6.  Lower the volume control on the headset/belt pack 2 levels from maximum, and check that the inbound 
audio level from the menu mic is usable. If everything is all right, the audio will be too loud. 
7.  Compare this inbound listen level in the headset to the page audio level from another headset. 
8.  Adjust the MENU MIC SENS level down (never up) to match the page audio level as required. 
9.  If the inbound listen level cannot be made to match the page audio level, then more acoustic isolation is 
needed for the menu mic and menu speaker. 
This procedure ensures that feedback will not occur even if the headset/belt pack is run at its maximum setting. It 
is also a measure of how the menu sign/post components are placed in relation to one another. 
Duplex and Standard Systems 
*Note 
For Duplex systems, the microphone at the menu sign must be located within four feet of the 
vehicle for duplex operation. 
For Standard (half–duplex) systems, jumper J6 must be placed in the STD position. 
The following procedures apply to both duplex and standard systems. 
Alert Tone Level 
The alert tone level is the volume of the alert tone heard in the headset. 
To set the alert tone level: 
1.  Turn the headset off and then on.  (This sets the volume control to midrange.) 
2.  Have someone drive a vehicle up to the menu sign.  When the vehicle is detected, you will hear the vehicle 
alert tone in the headset. 
19 
3.  Adjust the HEADSET ALERT LEVEL control to provide a comfortable alert tone level in the headset 
(clockwise to increase; counterclockwise to decrease). 
Monitor Speaker Volume Levels 
The monitor speaker volume levels are the levels for the various functions heard through the optional monitor 
speaker.  All adjustment controls are located on the base station circuit board.  Turn the controls clockwise to 
increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease volume. 
To set the monitor speaker volume levels: 
1.  Set the master MON VOLUME control to the midrange position. 
2.  With a vehicle detected at the menu sign (alert tone sounding), adjust the MON ALERT control so that the 
alert signal coming through the monitor speaker is at a suitable level. 
3.  Press and hold the headset Talk switch and speak into the headset microphone.  Adjust the MON TALK 
control so that the talk audio coming through the monitor speaker is at a suitable level. 
4.  Press the headset Page switch and speak into the headset microphone.  Adjust the MON PAGE control so 
that the page audio coming through the monitor speaker is at a suitable level. 
5.  While you listen to audio coming from the menu sign, adjust the MON IN control so that the menu sign 
audio coming through the monitor speaker is at a suitable level.  
*Note 
If any monitor functions are not desired by the customer, turn the related adjustment control fully 
counterclockwise to silence the function. 
Standard Systems Only 
The following procedures apply only to standard systems. 
*Note 
For Standard (half–duplex) systems jumper J6 must be placed in the STD position. 
Listen Level (Menu Sign Microphone Sensitivity) 
The listen level is the volume of the menu sign audio heard in the headset. 
To set the listen level: 
1.  Turn the headset/belt pack off and then on.  (This sets the volume control to midrange.) 
2.  Have someone drive a vehicle up to the menu sign.  When the vehicle is detected, you will hear the vehicle 
alert tone in the headset/belt pack. 
3.  Press and release the headset Talk switch to cancel the alert tone and allow you to listen to the audio from the 
menu sign. 
4.  Adjust the MENU MIC SENS level control for the desired volume (clockwise to increase volume; 
counterclockwise to decrease.) 
The Listen Level should now be properly adjusted.  Because the headset/belt pack volume control was set at 
midrange, there will now be enough range (up/down) in the headset/belt pack volume control to allow operators 
to set the headset volume to a preferred level.

Menu Sign Talk Volume Level 
The menu sign talk volume level is the volume of the headset/belt pack audio heard at the menu sign. 
To set the menu sign talk volume level: 
1.  Move the DAY/NIGHT switch on the base station to the DAY position. 
2.  Press and hold the headset/belt pack Talk switch and speak into the headset microphone.   
3.  Adjust the DAY menu sign audio level control for the desired audio level at the menu sign (clockwise to 
increase; counterclockwise to decrease.) 
4.  Move the DAY/NIGHT switch on the base station to the NIGHT position. 
5.  Press and hold the headset Talk switch and speak into the headset microphone.   
6.  Adjust the NIGHT menu sign audio level control so that the audio level at the menu sign is slightly lower 
than the DAY audio level setting (clockwise to increase; counterclockwise to decrease.)

Circuit Board Jumpers, Adjustment Controls, Indicators and Switches 
Figure 14.  Base Station Circuit Board 
Jumpers 
J1 and J2  Set for the type of menu sign in the system.  Jumper pins 1 and 2 on both jumpers for menu 
signs having a speaker only.  Jumper pins 2 and 3 on both jumpers for menu signs having a 
speaker and a microphone. 
J3  Set to designate the number of the lane in the system.  Jumper pins 1 and 2 to select lane 1. 
Jumper pins 2 and 3 to select lane 2. 
J4  Set for the type of vehicle detector in the system.  Jumper pins 1 and 2 for an air switch 
detector.  Jumper pins 2 and 3 for a loop/sodar detector. 
J5  Set to designate the type of communication operation.  Jumper pins 2 and 3 for standard 
operation.  Jumper pins 1 and 2 for duplex operation. 
J6  MENU PWR SEL – STD or DPLX 
STD – applies power to outbound speaker amplifiers only when the TALK switch is pressed. 
Note: for Standard (half–duplex) operation J6 MUST be placed in the STD position. 
DPLX – applies power to outbound speaker amplifiers constantly.  This will reduce the click 
that is sometimes heard in duplex mode when the TALK button is pressed. 
J9  TALK MON LVL 
REDUCE – reduces the volume to the Monitor Speaker by 16dB while TALK is activated.  
This decreases the chance of feedback when a headset is operating near the Monitor Speaker in 
duplex mode. 
FULL – unreduced volume to monitor speaker in all modes. 
*Note 
This setting may cause feedback when a headset is operating near the monitor 
speaker in duplex mode. 
J10  SWT THLD – HIGH or NRML 
SWT THLD refers to Switch Threshold.  This jumper is used to change the dynamic gain 

22 
threshold circuitry of the menu microphone.  It should normally be set to NRML.  
Occasionally, the inbound audio volume will decrease when C1060 headsets are used in Talk 
Lock mode.  Set jumper J10 to HIGH, in this case only.   
HIGH – Jumper the left two pins ONLY if a decrease in inbound volume is noticed while 
C1060 headsets are being used in Talk Lock mode. 
NRML – The Normal setting is used for all configurations except those mentioned in “HIGH.”
! Important 
After changing any jumper setting(s), be sure to press the RESET SWITCH on 
the base station circuit board to “read” the change into the microprocessor. 
Adjustment Controls 
MENU MIC SENS  Controls the volume of the menu sign audio heard in the headset.

Troubleshooting Audio Feedback 
If audio feedback occurs, check the following and correct as necessary: 
•  Is the microphone audio cable shielded twisted pair – grounded at the inside end? 
•  Is the microphone audio wiring separately contained in its own cable, with no other “active” wires in the 
same cable? 
•  Are the speaker and microphone at least 14 inches apart? 
•  Is the outbound audio level too high? 
•  Is speaker audio being reflected back to the microphone from nearby surfaces?
