The base station of this wireless full-duplex intercom system supports up to 4 beltpacks. The base station and the beltpacks support dynamic and electret mics. They could be switched by selecting different applications in the menu. The 4-pin audio interface on the base station enables the device to connect with other audio systems, which can increase the quantity of beltpacks and also the wireless communication range.

② Beltpack Installation

1. Connect headset as demonstrated.

2. Turn the power and volume control knob to turn on the beltpack.

3. When the status of the beltpack turns from "LOST" to "MUTE", long press the "MUTE/TALK" button on the side of the beltpack to switch it to "TALK" mode to communicate. If the beltpack operator doesn't want to talk with the base station, double click the "MUTE/TALK" button on the side of the beltpack to switch to "MUTE" mode. The beltpack operator can still hear the base station and other connected beltpacks under this mode.

4. Click the "REMOTE MIC KILL" button to mute all beltpacks if the base station operator doesn't want to hear from all beltpacks. When the indicator light is on, all beltpacks are switched to "MUTE" mode. Under this mode, beltpacks' operators can hear the base station but they cannot talk to each other and to the base station. If a beltpack operator wants to communicate with the base station, long press the "MUTE/TALK" button on the side of the beltpack to call the base station. The "REMOTE MIC KILL" button on base station will flash with a red light. Click the "REMOTE MIC KILL" button again to enable all beltpacks to switch back to "TALK" mode.

5. The default setting of mic is dynamic mic. Users can choose different types of mics based on different applications. Long press the menu button to enter the interface of mic setting and change the mic type to electret.

6. When connected with other intercom systems by 4 wire audio interfaces, users can enter the root menu and adjust input/output gain to reach gain balance for the whole intercom system.

7. Due to the noise differences in different applications, it may take some white noise to have better hearing experience. The background noise level can be adjusted by changing the "Application" in the root menu.

8. It is recommended that the users completely discharge the beltpack using the beltpack three times before, Since the battery has been in hibernation after a period of time.

③ Repairing

If any beltpack ID is lost while using the system resulted by incorrect operation or other reasons, connect the base station and the beltpack through the standard USB type-C data cable. Enter the pair menu and selects a master station vacancy ID for registration on the beltpack. "Pairing..." will appear on the main interface of the base station and the beltpack. Wait until "Pairing Successful" is displayed on the screen of both the base station and the beltpack before unplugging the cable. The beltpack will then be ready to use again.

SAFETY NOTE

Do not place your beltpacks on heating equipment, cooking equipment, high-pressure containers (such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric ovens, heaters, pressure cookers, water heaters, gas stoves, etc.) to prevent the battery from overheating and exploding. The original mating type of charger, data cable, and battery must be used. Chargers, data cables, or batteries that are not certified by the manufacturer or not the companion model may cause electric shock, fire, explosion, or other hazards.

POOR AUDIO QUALITY

1. First confirm whether the beltpack antennas are correctly installed and tightened. If there is no improvement, replace the antennas.
2. Ensure that the beltpack and the base station are in the transmission range and there is no obstacle between the main station and the beltpack.
3. Check if the volume of the beltpack is too low and turn it to a comfortable level.
4. Due to the difference in impedance and setting bias, we generally don't recommend customers to use his own 4-stage 3.5mm headset. If the sound quality is poor, replace the headset.

BASE STATION CANNOT DISPLAY BELTPACK INFORMATION

1. First confirm whether the beltpack antennas are correctly installed and tightened. If there is no improvement, replace the antennas.
2. Check the status of the Beltpack. If "LOST" appears on the beltpack screen, make sure that the beltpack is within the transmission range from the base station.
3. Check the status of the beltpack. If it is displayed as "NULL", it means that the beltpack information is lost due to incorrect operation, and it needs to be reregistered.

NO SOUND BETWEEN THE BASE STATION AND BELTPACK

1. Confirm if the "REMOTE MIC KILL" button on the base Station is on. If the red light is on, click on it to turn it off.
2. Check the current status on the beltpack screen. If it's on "MUTE", long press the "MUTE/TALK" button on the side to switch it to "TALK".
3. Check if the headset functions well and if you wear the headset and mic properly. (correct way: put the headset on the head with the mic less than 10cm from your mouth)

TALLY FUNCTION UNAVAILABLE

1. Confirm that the type of the switcher is correct. The TALLY interface definition is not unified on most switchers, so it will cause TALLY dysfunction;
2. Due to various types of the switcher, high-level value will work when push the level switch to "High" on the TALLY signal universal converter; low-level value will work when push the level switch to "Low" on the TALLY signal universal converter;
3. Confirm the ID of the beltpacks, and check if the TALLY converter connects with the USB Type-A interface on the base station correctly;
4. The beltpack only supports external TALLY light. Confirm if the beltpack connects to an external TALLY correctly;
