Base Station Set-Up

Location

Locate the base station on a level surface with the rear of the unit facing you. See “Antenna Informa- tion” section for more information on choosing a lo- cation.

Rack Mounting

Two kits are available for rack mounting the base station. The first kit rack mounts a single base sta- tion in a 19" rack. The second kit rack mounts two base stations, side by side, in a 19" rack. Instruc- tions are included in the rack mount kits. Refer to the “Accessories” section for rack mount part num- bers.

RF Transmit/Receive Channel Switches

Allows the user to select which of the two RF chan- nels the unit is on. The transmit channel selected, either “A” or “B”, is the frequency of the base sta- tion’s transmitter.

The receiver channel selected, either “A” or “B”, is the frequency of the base station’s receiver. The fre- quencies are listed on the bottom of the base station.

The base station’s transmit frequency must match the beltpack’s receive frequency. The base station’s receiver must match the beltpack’s transmit fre- quency. Typically both base station switches are set to “A” or both to “B” and the beltpacks are set to the same.

Local Headset Connection

Insert the headset into the 4 pin XLR connector on the front panel. See the headset connection diagram (Figure 2) if other than a Telex Headset is used.
