System description:
The ICOP 2020 wireless microphone system operates as part of ICOP’s DVR (digital video
recorder) system.
The ICOP 2020 Wireless Microphone System consists of 2 transceivers. The first
transceiver, called the BASE Transceiver (2020 WBASE), is mounted inside the vehicle.
The BASE Transceiver must be connected to the JBOX (junction box) to interface audio
and control signals to the DVR. The BASE Transceiver consists of two receivers and one
transmitter, a SMA connector for connection of one of the 2 optional antennas, an RJ-45
connector, and 2 docks for charging and syncing 2 MIC transceivers.
The second transceiver, called the MIC Transceiver (2020 WMIC), is carried by the
patrolman either on his belt or lapel. The MIC Transceiver is a self-contained unit, which
includes an internal microphone, external microphone/charge jack, battery charge
![](/img.php?id=860285&img=bg2.png)
terminals, internal rechargeable battery, fixed antenna, and 3 buttons for Standby/Off, Help
and Transmit Record On/Off.
The system operates in the 900 MHz ISM (Instrument Scientific Medical) band and is
license free. The system range is 1000 feet. The ICOP 2020 Wireless Microphone System
uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Narrow Band FM, which provides
excellent privacy, security and avoidance of interference.
BASE Transceiver Model Number 20/20 WBASE
Operating Instructions:
Depending on the installation, the BASE Transceiver will have power applied at all times or
only when the ignition switch is on. The BASE Transceiver (20/20 WBASE) may be used
with one or two MIC Transceivers.
To synchronize or resynchronize the BASE Transceiver to one or two MIC Transceivers,
place the MIC Transceiver unit(s) into the BASE Chargers. Synchronization shall occur
automatically with any MIC transceiver(s) that are docked in the BASE.
When the MIC is inserted into the BASE charger, the MIC shall turn on if it is not already
on. If the MIC is already in the BASE when the BASE is powered on, the MIC shall turn on.
If 5 minutes passes with no activity, the MIC shall go to stop mode.
If a record session is active when a MIC is placed in the BASE, one of the following
conditions will apply:
Mic Charging Ports
Antenna
Connector
(Not Shown)
Charge Status LEDs
DC Jack
RJ-45
Connector
1. If the inserted MIC is the only MIC currently synced to that BASE, the MIC shall stop
transmitting audio and shall transmit a data packet with the security code and the turn off
command to the BASE unit to stop recording.
2. If the inserted MIC is one of two MICs currently synced to that BASE and it is in an active
record session, the MIC shall stop transmitting audio and shall transmit a data packet with
the security code and the turn off command to the BASE unit to stop recording. The BASE
shall stop the record session with that MIC, but not the other MIC if it is also active.
3. If the inserted MIC is not one that is currently synced to that BASE, sync with that MIC shall
be held off until the record session is ended either by manually turning off the record
session or by inserting the one or both active MICs into the BASE.

20/20 WMIC
Operating instructions:
The MIC Transceiver has a 550 mA hour rechargeable battery pack accessible by
removing the belt clip and battery compartment cover . Prior to the first use the battery
should be charged for 12 to 15 hours. The MIC Transceiver can be charged through its
charge terminals located on the bottom of the unit while placed in the BASE Charger (20/20
WBASE).
To synchronize or resynchronize the BASE Transceiver to one or two MIC Transceivers,
place the MIC Transceiver unit(s) into the BASE Chargers. Synchronization shall occur
automatically with any MIC transceiver(s) that are docked in the BASE.
When the MIC is inserted into the BASE charger, the MIC shall turn on if it is not already
on. If the MIC is already in the BASE when the BASE is powered on, the MIC shall turn on.
If 5 minutes passes with no activity, the MIC shall go to stop mode.
If a record session is active when a MIC is placed in the BASE, one of the following
conditions will apply:
Record Button
Power Button
Lapel Mic Jack
Green/Yellow LED
Red LED
Help Button
Charge and Sync
Terminals on Bottom
Microphone
4. If the inserted MIC is the only MIC currently synced to that BASE, the MIC shall stop
transmitting audio and shall transmit a data packet with the security code and the turn off
command to the BASE unit to stop recording.
5. If the inserted MIC is one of two MICs currently synced to that BASE and it is in an active
record session, the MIC shall stop transmitting audio and shall transmit a data packet with
the security code and the turn off command to the BASE unit to stop recording. The BASE
shall stop the record session with that MIC, but not the other MIC if it is also active.
6. If the inserted MIC is not one that is currently synced to that BASE, sync with that MIC shall
be held off until the record session is ended either by manually turning off the record
session or by inserting the one or both active MICs into the BASE.
Buttons and Modes of Operation
The MIC Transceiver Wireless Microphone can be switched between three modes of
operation:
1) TRANSMIT Mode
In TRANSMIT mode the Wireless Microphone is fully operational and is transmitting
and receiving continuously. Audio transmitted from the microphone can be recorded
on the DVR. To select TRANSMIT mode, push the record (REC) button on the MIC
Transceiver. Transmit mode can also be selected from the DVR. The MIC Transceiver
will indicate that it is transmitting audio by lighting the Green LED indicator. The MIC
Transceiver will indicate that it has moved out of range of the BASE Transceiver by
turning off the Green LED and lighting the Yellow LED indicator.
2) HELP Mode
In HELP mode the Wireless Microphone is fully operational and is transmitting and
receiving continuously. In addition, a signal is activated to the DVR to indicate that the
user has pressed the HELP button. To select HELP mode, push the HELP button on
the front of the MIC Transceiver. The LEDs will continuously repeats the pattern
green/red/yellow/red separated by longer periods of green or yellow range status
indication.
After every 7th repetition of the green/red/yellow/red pattern, the red LED quickly blinks
1 or 2 times to indicate a low battery during the green or yellow range status indication.
Battery 25% 1 Red Blink
Battery 50% 2 Red Blinks
3) On-STANDBY Mode
In STANDBY mode, the transmitter is turned off and the unit can only receive. Select
STANDBY mode by pushing the record button on the MIC Transceiver while in
TRANSMIT mode or HELP mode. STANDBY cannot be selected from the in-dash unit.
The green LED blinks ON every 6 seconds to indicate RHT is able to transmit and
receive communications. The red LED blinks 1 or 2 times every 6 seconds to indicate
a low battery condition.
Battery 25% 1 Red Blink
Battery 50% 2 Red Blinks
4) OFF
When OFF, the MIC Transceiver cannot transmit or receive. The MIC Transceiver can
be turned OFF by pressing and holding the power button for 1 second until the green
LED goes off. The green LED will turn ON for the duration of the Power Button, press
up to 1 second. If held for 1 second when the RHT is in the OFF mode, the RHT will
enter the Standby mode.
5) CHARGE Mode
The MIC Transceiver will be in CHARGE mode while docked in the BASE.
The MIC Transceiver LED indicators may be turned OFF by the user for those conditions
where the bright light emitted from them is undesirable. The LEDs will always default to
ON when the unit is powered on. The ON/OFF state of the LEDs can not be changed
when the MIC Transceiver is OFF or connected to a charger.
The initial factory setting is for the LED indicators to be ON.
If the LEDs are ON, two quick presses of the HELP button within 2 seconds will turn the
LEDs OFF.
If the LEDs are OFF, two quick presses of the HELP button within 2 seconds will turn the
LEDs ON.
Pressing REC, PWR or activating the HELP function with the LEDs OFF will temporarily
override the disable to allow confirmation that the communications link status has changed.
Placing the MIC Transceiver into the charge mode will turn the LEDs ON.
The MIC Transceiver audible alert may be turned OFF by the user for those conditions
where the noise might be undesirable.
The audible alert shall default from the factory to ON. The ON/OFF state of the audible
alert may be toggled via 4 quick presses of the HELP button within 3 seconds. The setting
will then be retained until it is again changed or the battery is either removed or allowed to
completely discharge.
Battery Replacement:
The MIC Transceiver is equipped with a 550mAhr NiMH battery pack that should supply 2-
3 years of use. When the battery reaches the end of its life it should be replaced with the
exact ICOP replacement part. Contact the ICOP Service Department to obtain a
replacement battery.
