BASE STATION 1 Screw both antennas onto the connectors on the back of the base station Tighten at 90° angle 2 Plug power adapter into base station and screw nut onto connector, then plug power cord into power adapter and electrical outlet NOTE: 3 4 5 A fully charged battery can be kept in the base station as a backup in case of AC power interruption Set up base station in press box, where no objects are blocking the line-of-sight from base station to your sideline If interference is caused by objec
Optional Battery Operation of Base Station The base station can operate on battery power when AC power is unavailable NOTE: Always plug base station into AC power when it is available Turn base station off during halftime to conserve battery power Typical base station battery life when used continuously is as follows Energizer Lithium BAT850 Rechargeable Battery Duracell Coppertop 1 2 6 hours 3 hours 1 hour If you are using the battery sled, load 6 “AA” batteries into it Pull back on the battery compar
Interference Avoidance Multiple base stations can operate on high or low parts of the frequency band to prevent interference, which may be heard in a headset as popping sounds For example, if you have 4 base stations, set 2 on low band and 2 on high band, as follows NOTE: 1 If you have more than one base station, the one you set up for interference avoidance will be considered the “primary” base station (See page 11) All other “secondary” base stations will automatically set themselves to the same setting
Multiple Base Stations Up to 20 coaches can communicate using the DX300, 5 per base station, by interconnecting up to 4 base stations as described below With multiple base stations, one will be considered the main or primary base station, and all others will be considered secondary base stations Audio Connection Connect base stations with the provided interconnect cable, from the BASE OUT connector on one to the BASE IN connector on the other BASE OUT connector BASE IN connector Interconnect cable Second
Initialize Multiple Base Stations Multiple base stations must be “initialized” according to the following instructions, so their frequencies will not cause self-interference After initializing each base station, register each beltpac that will be used with that base station 1 With the primary base station powered on first, turn on the secondary base station Status window with double bar The STATUS window will show a double bar 2 3 Press the REGISTER button on the primary base station The STATUS window
Base Station Microphone Gain Adjustment The microphone gain adjustment allows you to adjust the level of your voice as it is transmitted from the headsets plugged into the base station 1 2 3 4 5 Use a headset that is plugged into the right side of a base station, and locate the recessed MIC GAIN adjustment in a hole on the right side of the base station Insert small screwdriver Insert a small screwdriver in the hole and turn the adjustment clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease microphone
BELTPACS Beltpac Registration NOTE: 1 2 3 Registration of all-in-one headsets is the same as the beltpac registration described below, except for step 2 If you have more than one base station, you must register each beltpac to the base station it will be used with Turn the base station power on, and beltpac power off Plug the headset into the beltpac and put the headset on your head Press the REGISTER button on the base station registration panel A lower case “o” will appear on the STATUS window 4 REGI
Beltpac or All-In-One Headset Operating Mode Setup Set up beltpacs and/or all-in-one headsets to operate in the desired mode by pressing and holding the button combinations shown below when you press the PWR (power) button to turn the unit on Mode Button Combination Head Coach (default) NOTE: Button Functions Hold X + O + ALL and press PWR X, O & ALL have normal functions Beltpacs and all-in-one headsets are shipped in the Head Coach mode Offense only Hold O and press PWR X & O work as O ALL has no
Beltpac or All-In-One Headset Adjustments Sidetone Adjustment (Beltpac only, not on all-in-one headset) When you speak into the microphone, you can hear sidetone (your own voice) in the beltpac headset Sidetone can be adjusted as follows: 1 2 Be sure the beltpac power is on While holding down the “O” button, press the volume-up ▲ or volumedown ▼ button as many times as needed to reach an acceptable level You do not hear beeps except for maximum or minimum double beep Maximum sidetone level is recommended
OPTIONAL REMOTE ANTENNA INSTALLATION It may be necessary to locate the antennas away from the base station if it is not possible to avoid obstructions between it and the sideline, or if the press box has windows that are coated with a metalized sun reflecting film Either of these situations may block signals from the press box base station to the beltpacs on the field Remote antenna kits with either 6 foot (1.83 meter) or 30 foot (9.
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT CONNECTION Auxiliary equipment such as audio/video recorder or a hardwired intercom can be connected to the rear panel of the base station 1 Connect the wires from your auxiliary audio equipment to the enclosed 10-pin connector according to the following table 10-pin spring clamp connector 2 3 Pin Connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Aux In − O Aux In + O Aux Out − O Aux Out + O Ground No Connection Aux In − X Aux In + X Aux Out − X Aux Out + X Differential pair Differentia

Changing Batteries Beltpac batteries typically provide 20 hours of continuous use in listen mode If you hear “Change battery” in your headset ― 1 2 3 4 5 6 If using beltpac, remove it from its pouch Slide battery release latch in direction of arrow Lift battery out of beltpac or headset Place battery in battery charger port for recharging Install fully charged battery in beltpac or headset If using beltpac, put it back in its pouch Battery release latch Battery Battery release latch Battery Beltpac A
SECTION 5.
Coaches using beltpacs or all-in-one headsets can not hear or talk to coaches using base station headsets Be sure base station headsets are fully plugged into the base station headset connectors Be sure the appropriate SELECT lights are red (O, X or ALL) when coaches at base station are talking Be sure coaches are talking or listening on the right channel (O, X or ALL) Beltpac range is bad Be sure antennas are properly connected and tightened on base station Be sure base station is positioned where there ar
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are the battery charger and base station power supplies interchangeable? Yes What is the maximum recommended number of base stations that can be linked together with interconnect cables? Four Does linking the base stations automatically prevent them from interfering with each other? No, all base that are linked together must be initialized to prevent them from interfering with each other’s frequencies If the primary base station is turned off just momentarily (before the secondary
