Quick Start Guide
Base Station Operation
1. Power: Insert a standard 120VAC IEC power cable into the power connector located on
the back of the base station.
2. Antennas: Connect antennas to ports on back of Base Station.
3. Connect Headset: Insert the headset connector into the base station until it snaps into
place.
4. Powering Up: Press the power button. The display will turn on as well as various LEDs.
5. Tx & Rx Frequencies: Program the transmitter and receiver frequencies as desired. See
Section 6: Base Station Operation or Section 8: PC Application for information on how to
program frequencies from the Base Station itself or from the PC Application. Note: the
defaults for Rx 1 Rx 6 are 175MHz, 176MHz, 177MHz, 178MHz, 179MHz, and 180MHz.
The default for Tx1 is 519MHz and Tx2 is 520MHz.
6. Intercom 2W / 4W:
Belt Pack
1. Batteries: Place five (5) new “AA” lithium or alkaline batteries into the provided battery
sled, in the correct polarity.
2. Connect Headset: Insert the headset connectors into the belt packs until they snap into
place.
3. Powering Up: Press the Power / Menu button that is located on the side of the belt
pack. The display will turn on and the belt pack will power on.
4. Tx & Rx Frequencies: Program the transmitter and receiver frequencies as desired. See
Section 7: Belt Pack Operation or Section 8: PC Application for information on how to
program frequencies from the Belt Pack itself or from the PC Application. Note: the
default for Rx1 is 519MHz, Rx2 is 520MHz, and Tx is 175MHz. These values will work
with the Base Station defaults for one belt pack (belt pack #1). The other belt packs will
need their frequencies changed from the defaults. See notes above.
Congratulations, your new base station is ready for use!

The Status setting allows the local headset to be disabled, set up as listen only, or as a fully
functioning headset (talk and listen).
The Earphone’s setting controls where the receiver audio gets routed, to the left and/or
right earphones.
If Separate is selected, audio from Receiver 1 will be routed to the right earphone and audio
from Receiver 2 will be routed to the left earphone.
If Combined is chosen, audio from both receivers will be routed to both earphones.
Note: If only one receiver is enabled, then the audio from that receiver will be routed to
both earphones no matter what option is chosen. These options are located in the menu under
“Local Headset.”

system can handle.
The two options are Master and Slave. When two base stations are “linked” together, one
must be set up as a master and the other as a slave.
The master base station works just like a normal base station except it will receive audio
from the slave base station that it will route.
The slave base station receives up to six belt packsaudio and gives it to the master to
route. The slave’s transmitters and all the ports on the back of the base station will be disabled.
To change the base station link mode, go to LINK SETTINGS in the menu, and press

Gain Adjustments
Gain adjustments can be made to the following:
Intercom 1 inputs and outputs (2W and 4W)
Auxiliary inputs and outputs, and
Stage Announce (and the local headset microphone which is described in the Local Headset

All gains have eleven (11) settings.
To change one of the gain settings, press the appropriate gain button and then use
the encoder to adjust it.
The gain screen will go away after 30 seconds if no button press or encoder knob turn is
made.
When changing one of the gains a bar graphic along with a number will be displayed on the
screen to show the current setting.
A label telling what gain it is and a status (when applicable) is also shown.
Turn the encoder knob clockwise to increase the gain and counter clockwise to
decrease the gain. The change will take place immediately.
When finished, press SAVE to save the change, otherwise press BACK, or wait for the
timeout to cancel any changes (the value will revert back).
Note: Stage Announces’ gain can be changed at anytime, however Intercom 1 and 2 and

Intercom CH1 and CH2 Buttons and LEDs
These two buttons allows the base station user to transmit on Intercom Channel 1,
Intercom Channel 2 or both.
When enabled the audio will be routed through that intercom channel (and not routed
when it is disabled).
There are two LEDs above each of these buttons:
The one on the left is a green LED that is on when that channel is enabled and off
when disabled.
The LED on the right is a red and green LED combo. It is green when that intercom
channel’s audio is being routed and the talk button is pressed and red when this is
true plus the user’s microphone is over modulating.
Talk Button
The Talk button allows the base station user to transmit. The button can be pressed and
held or “tapped” on and off.

The belt pack has four talk buttons with a corresponding set of green and red LEDs.
The top two talk buttons, Intercom Channel 1 and Intercom Channel 2, are fixed in
functionality although the label names are programmable.
The bottom two talk buttons are programmable with the following choices:
Intercom Channels (CH) 1 & 2
Wireless-Talk-Around (WTA) 1
Wireless-Talk-Around (WTA) 2
Wireless-Talk-Around (WTA) 1 & 2
Stage Announce (SA).
The home screen displays this information in the four boxes in the corners of the screen.
Each talk button has a green and red LED set.
The green LED turns on to show that the transmitter is active for that channel.
The red LED turns on when microphone over modulation occurs while transmitting.
Intercom and Programmable Button Labels
The home screen displays a boxed “T” next to each talk button label box to show the
transmitter’s status for each button.
The “T” means that the transmitter is on, and a box around the “T” means that the mic is
unmuted.
Note: it is possible to turn on the transmitter with the microphone muted (no audio is
transmitted).
Signal and Battery Meters
The signal and battery meters are there to assist the user.
The signal meter is an average of both receiver’s signal strength if both are enabled, or if
just one receiver is enabled it is that receiver’s signal strength.
The battery meter displays the battery’s status.
Local Headset Volume
The headset volume is changeable via the two knobs:
Left changes Channel One
Right changes Channel Two
If the local headset volume option is set to COMBINED, both knobs change volume of both
receivers proportionally.

Rx Volume Options
There are two options for the way the receiver volumes are controlled: Independent and
Master.
If Independent is selected, then the two receiver’s volumes are controlled independently.
At the home screen, the left encoder would control receiver 1 and the right would control
receiver 2.
If Master is selected, then both encoders control the receiver’s volumes. With Master
selected, one receiver will be a ratio of the other (“x” amount of dB higher or lower than the
44
other), and turning either encoder will change the volumes appropriately to keep the ratio the
same.
See the PC Application section for more information on the different ratios available.
