Front and Rear of BTR-24

1.Prior to use the TR-24 and BTR-24 should have their battery packs fully charged. Refer to the “Battery Charging Instructions” near the end of this section.

2.Plug the BTR-24's external power supply into an AC outlet if available. If external power is not available then the unit can run off internal battery.

3.Connect the antennas to the BTR-24.

4.Place the BTR-24's antennas in a location where they will have the best line-of-site to the area of coverage.

System Operation

By following the previous setup instruction, the system should now be up and running. Please read the following information for optimization / best performance of that system.

Beltpack position - When operating the system, wear the beltpack on the hip. Place it in a position that allows for greatest visibility to the BTR-24 antennas. The internal antennas for the TR-24 are on the sides of the beltpack case. For best visibility of antennas, do not place other objects within 6 inches (15cm) of the beltpack on the belt.

NOTE: The BTR-24 system operates in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Keep coaxial cables as short as possible to reduce signal loss in the cable.

5.Power the BTR-24 by turning the power switch to ON.

•The power light should immediately light solid.

•After 20 seconds the base station will clear scan the spectrum and place the unit on the best RF channel.

•After the scan, the AP Active light will flash, indicating a successful boot.

•After the boot the user may clear scan again, manually set a RF channel or lock a channel. See section 2, “BTR-24 Controls and Connection”, for details.

6.Plug headsets into the TR-24 beltpacks.

7.When the BTR-24 has finished booting, power-up the TR-24 beltpacks in wireless mode. The wireless mode is entered by holding the <TALK> button down as the unit boots. Once a beltpack was booted in a mode (wireless, wired, master wireless), the beltpack will always boot in that mode until the user sets a different boot mode.

•The power light should immediately light solid.
