Tour Group Example, Battery Charging Instructions

The sidetone (amount of your own voice fed back to your earphones) and microphone gain of the beltpacks may need adjusted from the factory defaults. The defaults are:

•Microphone Level = 4

• Sidetone Level

= 2

Microphone Level Adjust – Press <1> + <TALK> until a voice prompt indicates microphone adjust mode has been entered (about 3 seconds). Keep holding <TALK> down and use the <1> button to decrease the level, <2> button to increase the level. Voice prompts will indicate the current level setting. Release all buttons for at least one second and the level will be set.

Sidetone Level Adjust – Press <TALK> + <2> until a voice prompt indicates sidetone adjust mode has been entered (about 3 seconds). Keep holding <TALK> down and use the <1> button to decrease the level, <2> button to increase the level. Voice prompts will indicate the current level setting. Release all buttons for at least one second and the level will be set.

Tour Group Application

Tour Group Example

A good example of a master wireless mode application is a tour group within a noisy manufacturing environment.

As shown in the Figure, a single TR-24 is set to boot in “master wireless”. This beltpack would be worn by the tour guide. The rest of the beltpacks are set to boot in “wireless” mode and Push-to-TX (Push-to-TX beltpacks have their <TALK> button set to momentary only). The tour group would wear these beltpacks.

The group size could be up to 28 people (or more) when the beltpacks are in Push-to-TX mode. This is because when in Push-to-TX mode the beltpacks are listen only, until the <TALK> button is active. At that point the beltpack transmits full time and is in full duplex mode until user releases the <TALK> button again. The group’s TR-24s could also be used in push-to-latch mode (full duplex) for this application, but due to the greatly increase bandwidth requirement for this talk mode the group’s size would be limited to 9 (Ten total if you include the tour guide's master beltpack).

NOTE: Only 9 full duplex beltpacks can work off a master beltpack. Thus the number of full duplex beltpacks working off that master beltapck must be reduce by the number of Push-to-TX beltpacks that could become full duplex, at the same time, if their users press the talk button.

Battery Charging Instructions

Charge the BTR-24 and TR-24 internal battery as follows:

1.Ensure the TR-24 beltpacks are in the “OFF” position.

2.Ensure the BTR-24 base stations are in the “OFF” position.

3.TR-24 beltpack: Plug the charger into the charge jack on the bottom of the beltpack. The beltpack should be charged in a room temperature location. The LED on the bottom of the unit indicates the charge status.

• RED

= Charging

•GREEN = Charging Done

A fully discharged beltpack will need to charge for at least 6

– 8 hours.

Beltpacks may be left on charge indefinitely.

4.BTR-24 base station: Plug the charger into the charge jack on the bottom of the base station. The base should be charged in a room temperature location. The LED on the bottom of the unit indicates the charge status.

• RED

= Charging

•GREEN = Charging Done

A fully discharged base station will need to charge for at least 10 – 14 hours.

The BTR-24 may be left on charge indefinitely.
