Basic Operational Description

The TR-1 is a full duplex (simultaneous talk and listen) beltpack that works in conjunction with a BTR-1 base station. The beltpack allows a user, via a headset attached to the beltpack, to communicate with other wireless or wired users. Other base stations and / or wired intercom systems connect to the beltpack’s base station. The base station is what allows the audio path interconnecting for the beltpack audio.

The talk button on the beltpack turns the microphone input of the beltpack on or off. The A / B rocker switch and the C but- ton select preset audio paths that are set-up via the base sta- tion. For example, the base station may be set-up for A to route beltpack audio to and from wired intercom 1, B routes beltpack audio to and from wired intercom 2 and C to route audio to and from wired intercoms 1 and 2 plus active a relay.

System Quick Start

1.Ensure the base staton and beltpack are of the same fre- quency bands.

2.Attach antennas to base station.

3.Ensure intercom ports 1 and 2 are loaded via a Telex (AudioCom) load (300W between pins 2 and 3) or con- nected to a power supply. WARNING: Failure to load the intercom ports could cause a loud feedback due to excessive gain when a headset is placed on the base or beltpack.

4.Power-up the base station.

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

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.
