BTR-1 Operation

Basic Operational Description

System Quick Start

The BTR-1 is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and listen) base station that works in conjunction with a TR-1 beltpack.

The base station, via the beltpack, allows communication with other wireless or wired users. The A, B and C buttons on beltpack are assigned their functions at the base station. The base station also has the ability to program the frequencies of the beltpack over-the-air. The sidetone for the base station's lo- cal headset and the beltpack are also adjusted at the base sta- tion.

If base stations are being used stand alone (no 2-wire power supply) but interconnected via the 2W interconnect cables, all used intercom channels must be loaded or a loud squeal may result.

The following is a list to quickly get a base station and beltpack operating.

1.Ensure the base station and beltpack are of the same frequency bands.

2.Attach antennas to base station.

3.Power-up the base station.

4.Press <MENU> + <SET> + <UP> + <DOWN> on the base station once it is powered up.

5.Load the base station with a AudioCom power supply on intercoms 1 and 2 or place a load on intercoms 1 and 2.

6.Press <MENU> as powering-up the beltpack.

7.Set the encryption code on the base station.

8.Set the encryption code on the beltpack to match the base station.

9.Set the serial number of the base station in the beltpack.

10.The base should now indicate a battery voltage indicat- ing the base station and beltpack are communicating.

11.Plug a headset into the base station and beltpack. Ad- j u s t th e mi c r o p h o n e g a in o n b o t h s o th e overmodulation light flashes only on the loudest ex- pected speech level.
