Frequently Asked Questions - BM 2006 RCF

How do I charge the handset for the first time?

Place the handset on the charging cradle for 15 hours before initial use to fully activate the battery.

Why is there no dial tone?

Check that the base unit is connected to the telephone line and power. Ensure the handset is registered and within range. If the battery is low, recharge it.

Can I use rechargeable batteries of higher capacity?

Only use the specified NiMH 1.2V 600mAh battery pack. Higher capacity may cause damage or reduce performance.

How do I store numbers in the phonebook?

Press Menu, select Phonebook, then Add New. Enter name and number, then confirm. Up to 100 entries can be stored.

What is the maximum range of the phone?

Indoor range is up to 50 m; outdoor range can reach 300 m in open areas. Obstacles like walls may reduce range.

How do I adjust the ringer volume?

Press Menu, go to Settings, then Ringer Volume. Use the navigation keys to adjust and confirm.

My phone is not charging. What should I do?

Ensure the charging contacts are clean and the adapter is plugged in. Try resetting the handset by removing and reinserting the battery. If issue persists, replace the battery.

Can I use this phone with a VoIP adapter?

Yes, as long as the adapter provides a standard PSTN line signal. The phone is compatible with analog telephone lines.

How do I register a new handset?

Press and hold the PAGE button on the base for 5 seconds. On the handset, press Menu, select Register, and follow the prompts. The handset will search and connect.

What does the 'Search' or 'Out of Range' display mean?

The handset is too far from the base or not registered. Move closer to the base or re-register the handset. If the battery is low, charge it first.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Before connecting and using this paging microphone, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it on hand for future reference. The manual is to be considered an integral part of this product and must accompany it when changing ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety precautions.

RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use of this product.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they provide important information.

2. Make sure all connections have been made correctly before switching all devices on. Do not connect / disconnect the paging microphone when the system is operating.

3. Protect paging microphone cables from damage and assure they are positioned where these cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.

4. Do not put the paging microphone into water (or another liquid), do not throw it.

5. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs. If the paging microphone does not work properly, contact your authorized service centre.

6. Should the paging microphone emit any strange odour or even smoke, turn the sound system off immediately and disconnect it.

7. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends the sound system installation is only made by professional qualified installers (or specialised firms), who can certify it according to the regulations in force. The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations regarding electrical systems.

8. Mechanical and electrical factors need to be considered when installing a professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).

9. Do not point the microphone at near loudspeakers, in order to avoid feedback.

10. Hearing loss

Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and depends on the duration of exposure.

To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure, anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices. When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.

1. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system operating, paging microphone cables should not be laid together with other electric cables (mains) and loudspeaker lines.

2. Keep the paging microphone far from any excessive heat source.

3. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external parts. Just use a dry cloth.

RCF S.P.A. THANKS YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO GUARANTEE RELIABILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCES.

DESCRIPTION

BM 2006 are 6-zone paging microphones designed for the ZM 2000 system. Up to six BM 2006 can be daisy-chained to a ZM 2124 / ZM 2100 main unit.

It is possible to link up to four BE 2012 additional 12-zone keyboards to every BM 2006, in order to reach the maximum system capability of 54 zones when one ore more ZE 2200 expanders are used.

MAIN FEATURES:

• 6 zone / zone group buttons
• 'All Call' button
• 'PTT' button (momentary microphone activation for short announcements)
• 'Lock' button (as 'PTT', but operating as a toggle for long announcements)
• Flexible gooseneck with an electret microphone capsule
• Balanced input / output on RJ 45 ports (CAT 5 cable)
• Priority mode setting.

MAIN FEATURES

1 Gooseneck with electret microphone.

2 Six zone buttons with LEDs. Press one or more buttons to select and engage the zones to be paged. LEDs (when lit) indicate which zones are selected for paging.

To select a zone group (if previously set, see page 11 'ZONE GROUPS'), press and hold the chosen button for at least 3 seconds.

The selected zone will be activated when pressing either the PTT or the TALK button.

3 ALL CALL button with LED Press the 'All Call' button to select all zones (its respective LED lights up).

All zones will be activated when pressing either the PTT or the TALK button (all zone LEDs light up).

4 PTT button (push-button to be held, mainly indicated for short announcements)

Select zones, then press and hold the PTT button to talk.

If no other paging microphone with higher priority engages the line (or the EMERGENCY is in progress), the chime will be played and then the microphone will get open.

In case of any event in progress with higher priority (the TALK LED 5 will be flashing after pressing the PTT button), it will not be possible to page the selected zones until the line is not busy.

After the announcement, release the PTT button; all selected zone LEDs light off.

If no zone has been selected, press and hold the PTT button to page (again) the same zone / group selected in the previous call.

5 TALK LED

LED steady lit (green): the microphone is open.

LED flashing (amber): the line is busy.

6 LOCK button (toggle switch) with LED

Select zones, then press the LOCK button to talk.

If no other paging microphone with higher priority engages the line (or the EMERGENCY is in progress), the chime will be played and then the microphone will get open.

In case of any event in progress with higher priority (the TALK LED 5

will be flashing after pressing the PTT button), it will not be possible to page the selected zones until the line is not busy.

After the announcement, press the LOCK button again; all selected zone LEDs light off.

7 Connector to link the first BE 2012 additional keyboard.

8 Output level trimmer

If necessary, use a small screw driver to adjust the paging microphone output level.

9 Input (RJ 45 port)

Port to link the next BM 2006 paging microphone (through CAT5 cable).

The system can have max. six BM 2006 paging microphones.

10 Output (RJ 45 port)

Port to link either the previous BM 2006 paging microphone or the ZM 2124 / ZM 2100 main unit (through CAT5 cable).

11 DC power supply input

Jack socket for the connection of an optional 24 V dc adapter.

12 Chime level control

If necessary, use a small screw driver to adjust the chime level.

If available, link all BE 2012 additional 12-zone keyboards (max. 4 per each BM 2006), by connecting all flat cables (see the BE 2012 manual) to the lateral ports (7 on BM 2006). Use metal brackets to fix BE 2012 keyboards.
