1. INTRODUCTION
The
EOS HD Wireless Drive-thru Headset System is designed to deliver a clear drive-thru conversation for Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) around the world.
The EOS Base Station and wireless headsets offer a clear conversation with customers in the drive-thru, as well as fellow store employees using the headset’s B-Channel and a push of a button.
The
Push-to-Talk feature is a basic headset operation that allows customer communication by holding a headset button to talk and listen. The headset button is released to disconnect (see below).
Hands Free headset modes allow Order Takers to communicate with customers as they would in a phone call by pressing a button once to talk to a customer at the menu. The headset automatically disconnects when the customer drives away.
Note: Full Duplex must be installed to work in Hands Free mode (see below).
The Messaging System allows store owners the option to record pre-programmed greetings to customers and detailed instructions and reminders to employees.
1.1 Full Duplex and Half Duplex Modes
1.1.1 Full Duplex:
In most Drive-Thru operations, a Menu board or Speaker Post consists of a Microphone to hear the customer talk and a Speaker so the customer can listen.
When your Base Station is configured in
Full Duplex mode, the Microphone and Speaker can transmit audio at the same time like a telephone call. This is beneficial for increasing the ability to understand a customer and immediately respond without delay.
1.1.2 Half Duplex:
In this unique configuration, the Menu board or Speaker Post consists of only a single speaker.
This single speaker is used to both speak to and listen to the customer. But because there is only one speaker, the Order Taker can’t speak and listen simultaneously as performed in Full Duplex mode.
Half Duplex works like a Walkie Talkie. To speak to the customer, press the headset A button. To listen to a customer, release the A button.
Full Duplex is the fastest and most efficient form of Base Station communication, but some circumstances may make it necessary to temporarily switch a base station to Half Duplex mode.
Should the microphone fail or be damaged, switching to Half Duplex allows the Order Taker to continue taking orders until the microphone is repaired or replaced.

2.3.3 Battery Charging
It’s a good idea to charge up to four batteries while you are installing the other equipment. Charging takes about 2.5 hours. When the batteries are fully charged, install them in the headset as shown in
and
.
Procedure:
Insert batteries in the charging ports for charging. The batteries can only be inserted into the charging ports one way. If they do not slide in easily, turn them around.
DO NOT force them. Push each battery down into a port until it snaps in place.
Battery Status Lights:
The battery status lights indicate the charging status, as shown on the battery status guide at the bottom of the battery charger front panel.
h
A
YELLOW LIGHT stays on steady next to each charging port while the port is empty.
h
Insert a battery in one of the four charging ports until it clicks in place.
h
A
RED LIGHT will stay on next to a battery while it is charging.
h
A GREEN LIGHT will go on next to a battery when it is fully charged.
h
If a
YELLOW LIGHT is on next to a battery in a charging port, it means the charge failed. If this happens:
○ Be sure the battery is pushed all the way into the port until it snaps into place to make contact.
○ Try charging it in a different port. If it charges this time, the first charging port may be defective. If the battery does not charge in the second port, replace it with another battery.
h
Store up to four fully charged batteries in the storage ports.

3.2 Interference Prevention
CAUTION: Interference may occur if the headset system is not properly installed.
The following types of interference could occur if precautions are not taken during installation. Read this section carefully before proceeding.
3.2.1 Electrical Interference
Electrical faults in appliances and other electrical equipment can cause interference such as static, hum, crackling, buzzing and zip sounds in the headset when the system is active. Interference caused by electrical faults in lighting systems might not be noticed immediately, since most lighting systems are controlled by a timer or light sensing device.
Faulty Wiring or Components:
Faulty components or electrical wiring in menu boards or speaker posts can cause symptoms identical to those caused by AM interference. Remove power to the menu board or speaker post at the circuit breaker until the electrical system can be repaired.
Improper Earth Grounds:
Improper earth grounds in the building can cause random buzzing and zip sounds in the headset when operating in either channel A or B. Placing a surge protector between the base station AC adapter and the electrical outlet can eliminate the problem.
In the event of an electrical power outage
If you experience problems with your HME equipment after the electricity returns, unplug the equipment, wait 15 seconds and then plug it back in.
3.3 Hop Band: Radio Frequency Interference
Radio Frequency Interference caused by Wi-Fi routers and Access Points
Most Wi-Fi access points allow the administrator to set the channel and bandwidth for the system. Some systems employ an ‘Auto’ mode, in which the Wi-Fi access point will automatically select the channel.
With Wi-Fi access points, it is sometimes advantageous to manually select a channel number to keep the
Wi-Fi transmission at a fixed location. Common Wi-Fi channels used are 1 and 11.
In order to avoid the Radio Frequency interference caused by Wi-Fi routers and Wi-Fi access points, the
EOS|HD Base Station offers three user selectable Hop Bands of radio operation. Making use of these bands can assure that base communication is always free of interference.
Interference may be occurring if: you’re hearing clicks and/or pops; voices break up while talking; you’re hearing a “Busy” prompt in headset when a button is pressed; the headset is flashing red lights; you’re intermittently hearing “Lane 1” in the headset. To adjust this setting, refer to instructions in
.
3.3.1 Low Band
Using Low Band sets the frequency range in which the Base Station operates to the lower end of the broadcast range. If you know that the Wi-Fi access point is set to Wi-Fi channel 11, then you should set the base station to operate in ‘Low’ band so the base avoids the Wi-Fi channel 11 frequency range.
3.3.2 High Band
Using
High Band sets the frequency range in which the Base Station operates to the upper end of the broadcast range. If you know that the Wi-Fi access point is set to Wi-Fi channel 1, then you should set the base station to operate in ‘High’ band so the base avoids the Wi-Fi channel 1 frequency range.
3.3.3 Full Band
When the EOS|HD is configured in
Full Band, the Base uses the whole broadcast frequency range, offering the greatest opportunity for headsets to communicate with the base.
However, when in Full Band, the base can be susceptible to interference from Wi-Fi routers and Wi-Fi access points. In order to avoid this inference, the EOS|HD offers two other bands: High and Low.
3.3.4 Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
AFH stands for Adaptive Frequency Hopping. When the base is set in AFH Mode, the base operates in Full
Band. But rather than using the Full Band indiscriminately, the base will scan all frequencies currently being used by other devices such as Wi-Fi.
Once it detects that some channels in Full Band are currently being used by other devices, it will exclude those frequencies. By doing this, the base avoids interfering with these devices.
Since the AFH mode is constantly scanning and adapting to the RF environment, it is important to make note of the following which may adversely affect performance in AFH mode: h
Extra transmissions or Wi-Fi access points may crowd the 2.4 GHz band to the point where
AFH may not be able to completely utilize unoccupied channels. h
The addition of remote antennas to a system to increase coverage area may reduce the benefit antenna redundancy. Since the system will search for occupied channels on both antennas, in this configuration it may detect that more of them are occupied.
By default,
AFH is enabled in the European Union. By default, AFH is disabled in all other locations.
Note: This mode is a requirement for systems installed in the European Union, and it requires use of AFH Compatible headsets.

4. EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
These instructions are for installation of standard EOS|HD equipment and most commonly used optional equipment. Specific instructions may also be enclosed with optional equipment.
If you haven’t already done so, plug the battery charger into an AC electrical outlet and charge all of the
headset batteries while the other equipment is being installed. Refer to Section 2.3
, pg. 8.
4.1 Base Station Installation
Things to consider before and during base station installation
h
The base station should be located where, standing with your back to the wall, you can see most of the work area where headsets will be used.
h
The number of walls between the base station and where the headsets will be used should be minimized.
h
Sheets of stainless steel on the walls may shield or reflect radio signals.
h
Outside coverage may be needed for
Speed Team (see pg. 50) operation.
h
Large windows allow signals to pass freely, improving outside coverage.
h
The antenna coverage area can be extended with the Remote Antenna Kit.
h
Note the location of the store’s Wi-Fi access point, and avoid installing the base station within six feet.
h
If a system is being replaced, it may not be desirable to use the same mounting location for the new base station, but it may be required in some cases.
h
If using a power source other than that supplied by HME, the power source must provide 24 volts DC regulated to +/-5%, be capable of supplying a minimum of 50 watts of power and be “LPS” rated for safe operation of the unit. The power source must meet all applicable local regulatory requirements.
4.2 Drive-Thru Layouts
Figure 13. AC50 features and battery status guide
4.2.1 Single Lane Drive-thru
A typical drive thru QSR building is set up as shown in
Figure 13. The area inside the CIRCLE represents the required headset communication range you will need to consider before
mounting
the base station. The number of walls, machinery and other obstructions between locations must be minimized.
Whether a store frequently uses
Speed Team operations will also factor in the decision where to mount
the base station. See Section 5.6.2
, pg. 49, for more information on Speed Team.
Location #1 (Pick Up): For Speed Team operations in the drive-thru lanes, a signal from this location would have to penetrate three walls to reach location #6. Mounting the base station at this location would
NOT be optimal to reach all locations.
Location #2 (Order Taker): Signals from the kitchen must only penetrate one wall. Two walls separate location #1 and #2, so this location MAY NOT be optimal.
Location #3, 4 and 5 (Kitchen): Headset signals from these work areas require a minimal amount wall penetration, so these areas should be considered for optimal signal range for all locations.
Location #6 and 7 (Seating area, Drive-thru): These areas should NOT be considered for mounting the base station. Coverage in these areas can be poor at times, regardless of the base station location.
In this event, the remote Antenna Kit may be installed to increase coverage area. See Section 4.2.9
18 -19, for antenna installation instructions.
Discuss the location of the base station with the store owner or manager. It should be mounted less than
10 feet (3 meters) from an available electrical outlet, and away from grease and large metal objects. It should also be mounted near eye level, so the display screen will be easily visible and the control buttons will be accessible.
The base transmitter antenna(s) must not be installed near any other antenna or transmitter.
13
4.2.2 Tandem, Y-Lane or Dual Drive-Thru
For tandem, Y-lane or dual drive-thru lanes, a vehicle detector and an outside speaker and microphone
will be installed for each order point, and cables pulled as described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4
, pg. 20.
14
Figure 14. Typical tandem, Y-lane and dual drive-thru layouts
4.2.3 Install Antennas on Base Station
Locate the two enclosed antennas, and install them by screwing them onto the base station antenna connectors, as shown in
Figure 15.
Figure 15. Antenna mounting
4.2.4 Connect Base Station Power Supply
You may have Type A or Type B power supply, as illustrated in
Figure 16.
Connect the power supply to the base station and an AC electrical outlet according to the numbered instructions for your type power supply, as shown in
Figure 16.
If necessary, refer to the wiring diagrams listed in Section 14 , pg. 101.
Note: If using a power source other than that supplied by HME, it must provide 24 volts DC regulated to +/-5%, be capable of supplying a minimum of 50 watts of power and be “LPS” rated for safe operation of the unit. The power source must meet all applicable local regulatory requirements.

4.2.5 Register Headsets to Base Station
Before you permanently mount the base station on the wall, you must register the headsets to the base station. The registered headsets should then be Walk Tested to determine the best location to mount the base station. This helps provide the best reception and transmission to and from all the areas of use.
After each headset has been registered to a base station, the base station will recognize the headsets and differentiate between them and other electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies.
Up to 15 headsets can be registered to a base station. Replacement headsets must be registered before they can be used. When a headset is replaced, the replaced headset remains in memory.
If the maximum number of 15 (in memory) is exceeded, you must clear some or all of the current registrations to free up memory and register the new headset (see
Clear Headset Registration, next page).
Register each headset as follows:
Note: Headsets must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station while being registered.
1. Be certain all headsets or belt-pacs to be registered are turned Off, and the base station power is On.
On the base station LANE STATUS display, press the
Menu button.
2. From the MAIN MENU, press the Register headsets
button.
3. From the HEADSET REGISTRATION display, press the
Register headsets button.
4. If you are registering only one headset or beltpac, press the
Register single button. If you are registering more than one headset, press the
Register
multi button and continue registering each headset, one at a time.
5. Activate Registration mode on a Headset by pressing the
B button and Power button (red) simultaneously.
After power up, release the buttons.
To activate registration on a belt-pac, put on the headset and then simultaneously press and hold the
B button + PWR button until the two red lights flash.
The belt-pac should enter registration mode within a few seconds. To confirm, a voice prompt will say “Beltpact #, Battery Full/Half/Low, Registration”.
6. Registration process begins when the headset or beltpac has successfully registered, and then the assigned
ID number is displayed.
ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A,
B, C, D and E.
7. Confirm that the power light on the registered headset or belt-pac displays a steady green.
When you have finished registering each headset or belt-pac, press the
Back button repeatedly until you return to the MAIN MENU or LANE STATUS display.

18
4.2.6 Clear Headset Registration
On the HEADSET REGISTRATION display, pressing the
Clear
inactive button will unregister only headsets that are turned off.
Pressing the
Clear all button will unregister all headsets that are registered to the base station. The base station will automatically restart.
IMPORTANT: If the Clear All option is selected, NO headsets will operate until they are re-registered. It is best NOT to use this option during store business hours.
If you experience difficulties registering headsets: In the USA, call HME Technical Support at 1-800-848-4468. Outside the USA, call your local HME representative for assistance.
4.2.7 Walk Test for Best Transmission/Reception
Before permanently mounting the base station, do a walk test with the base station at various locations until the best possible transmission/reception is found. To check transmission/reception, have two people walk in the area where the headsets will be used. Use the headset’s
B button to communicate, and then walk past the menu board to test reception where speed-team takes place.
Note: If you need to extend the antenna coverage area, install a Remote Antenna Kit as described below in Section 4.2.9 (below), but do not permanently mount the antenna. Repeat the walk test, moving the antenna around the area to determine where the antenna improves transmission/ reception most.
4.2.8 Mount Base Station on Wall
When you have found the best location for transmission and reception, unplug the power adapter and mount the base station at the desired location as follows.
1. Hold the base station against the wall, with its door open, and mark the wall through the four screw holes on the back of the cabinet, shown in
Figure 17.
2. Set the base station down and drill four 3/16 inch (4.76mm) holes in the wall at the marked spots.
3. Insert the enclosed #6 screw anchors into the holes.
4. Screw the four enclosed screws into the anchors, leaving the screw heads 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) away from the wall.
5. Mount the base station on the wall by aligning the four screw holes in the back of the base station over the four screws. Rest the base station on the screws, and then tighten the screws to secure the base station in place.
Figure 17. Open base station showing four screw holes
6. Install optional switcher boards and vehicle detector boards after mounting base station on wall.
4.2.9 Install Remote Antenna Kit (if needed)
The remote antenna kit allows one of the antennas to be mounted up to 30 feet (9.14 meters) from the base station for improved coverage. With an extension cable and mounting bracket, an antenna can be mounted inside or outside to extend coverage for speed team operation. Install the remote antenna kit as follows.
1. Lay out the enclosed 30 foot (9.14 meter) antenna cable with its female connector near the base station and its male connector at the proposed area where the antenna will be mounted. Bend and align the cable to the desired position.
2. Remove electrical power from the base station.
3. Remove (unscrew) the antenna from the top of the base station.
4. Screw the female antenna cable connector onto the base station antenna connector where the antenna was removed.
Note: To minimize stress on the connector, bend the cable to line it up with the base station antenna connector before connecting it.
5. Screw the antenna onto the male connector at the other end of the antenna cable.
6. Hold the enclosed antenna mounting bracket against the wall at the desired mounting location and mark the wall through the two screw holes in the bracket. It may be necessary to mount the antenna high enough to avoid a safety hazard or possible damage to the antenna.

4.3 Cable Pulling
CAUTION: If you do not use the HME audio cable, make sure that the speaker/ microphone
wires used are a twisted pair. For Full-Duplex installations, the speakers and microphones must use separate cables or audio feedback will occur.
Never run high-voltage cables in the same conduit with audio or loop cables.
The recommended HME audio cable has four color coded, insulated wires and a bare shield (drain) wire.
It can be used to connect any component to the base station. Pull the cables (two for full-duplex, one for half-duplex) through the conduit from the speaker post or menu board into the building as follows: h
For dual drive-thru installations, repeat the steps below to route
shielded cable from inside the building to the speaker post or menu board in
each lane.
h
For tandem drive-thru installations, repeat the steps below to route
shielded cable from inside the building to the speaker post or menu board at
each order point.
, pg. 1, for details on both modes.
1. Run fish tape from inside the building, through the conduit to the speaker post or menu board.
2. Go outside. If you are pulling more than one cable,
mark the cables and spools for
identification. Fasten each cable to the fish tape where it comes out of the conduit, and go back inside the building.
3. Pull the fish tape and cable through the conduit into the building. Disconnect the cable from the fish tape and pull enough of it in to reach the base station.
4. Go outside again and route the cable from the outside conduit to the speaker and microphone units in the speaker post or menu board.
5. Cut the cable, leaving about 3 feet (915 mm) of slack. If more than one cable have been pulled,
mark the ends of the cables again for identification.
6. Remove about 2 inches (50 mm) of the outer insulation from the end of each cable. Strip about
½ inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the four wires in the cable.
7. Route all the cables together to the base station, through walls and over ceiling panels if possible. Cut off any slack cable so no coils of excess cable are left in the ceiling or elsewhere.
4.4 Outside Microphone/Speaker Installation & Cable Connections
This section describes standard, full-duplex installations, using a DM5 Microphone and SP10 Speaker.
Installation requirements may vary. In dual-lane or tandem systems, speakers and microphones must be
installed for each lane or order point. Refer to the wiring diagrams listed in Section 14 , pg. 102.
Note: The DM5 requires a 3-wire connection.
First, mount the microphone against the speaker grill in the speaker post or menu board. Position it where the customer will speak directly into it. The speaker can then be installed anywhere around the microphone, as long as they are at least two feet (610 mm) apart (center to center) to avoid audio feedback.

6. AUDIO PROCESSING FUNCTIONS
The EOS/HD Base Station has several advanced audio processing features designed to improve the quality of communication with the customer at the menu. Below are brief explanations of how each feature works:
6.1 VAA (Variable Audio Attenuation)
Variable Audio Attenuation (VAA) is designed to reduce the volume of the customer’s voice or other loud noises in your headset. If a customer is speaking loudly, speaking while you’re speaking or other loud noises occur, it may become confusing. The VAA option assures that as you speak, the sound from
outside is reduced. See Section 5.7.7 - VAA Settings
, pg. 80.
6.2 ANC (Automatic Noise Cancellation)
Automatic Noise Cancellation (ANC) is designed to reduce the level of outside sounds when the customer is not speaking.
For example, a customer starts to place an order and then pauses to think. Within a moment, the volume level from outside drops and becomes quiet. Birds, cars driving by, engine noise and other noncustomer sounds are reduced. When the customer begins speaking, the volume returns to a normal level. This feature is beneficial for reducing order taker listening fatigue and improving the overall order
6.3 AVC (Automatic Volume Control)
A
utomatic Volume Control (AVC) automatically reduces the volume level coming from the outside speaker during quiet times, such as in the early morning or late at night. AVC monitors the ambient sound level outside and adjusts speaker’s volume level. If the ambient outside sound level increases,
AVC stops adjusting and returns volume to its original level. Section 5.7.7 - AVC Settings , pg. 81.
6.4 Echo Cancel
In situations where microphones and speakers are in close proximity to one another, sound from the
Speaker can sometimes be picked up by the microphone, creating a loop that causes feedback in the headset. Echo Cancel recognizes the sound from the Speaker and prevents it from looping through the
, pg. 31.
6.5 Inbound Noise Cancel
Inbound Noise Cancel greatly enhances the Order Taker experience by virtually eliminating all unwanted outside noise (such as a car engine) that may normally be picked up by a microphone.
Inbound Noise Cancel distinguishes human voice from ambient noise and filters the audio, making the customer’s voice much more clear. Other outside sounds such as planes flying over, sprinklers or street
noise are also filtered. See Section 5.2.5
, pg. 31.
6.6 Outbound Noise Cancel
Outbound Noise Cancel virtually eliminates all in-store noise from being heard through the outside speaker. A quick service restaurant can produce sounds caused by machines necessary for the operation of the store. These sounds can sometimes be picked up by the headset’s microphone and potentially heard by the customer.
Outbound Noise Cancel distinguishes human voice from in-store noise, filtering the audio so that only the Order Taker’s voice is heard loud and clear by the customer.
7. SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK
ACTION RESULT

88
8. SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK
The EOS|HD can be operated in
Hands-Free (HF), Auto-Hands-Free (AHF), B-channel Hands-Free
(BHF) or
Push-To-Talk (PTT) modes.
A Full-duplex system supports HF, AHF, BHF and PTT operation. In HF, AHF and BHF operation,
communication can be transmitted and received at the same time, as in a normal telephone conversation.
In the AHF mode, transmission and reception are activated automatically when a customer drives into the drive-thru lane.
In the HF mode, transmission and reception are activated by touching and releasing the A1 or A2
button on the headset.
In the PTT mode, the
A1 or A2 button must be pressed and held while the operator is talking to the
customer. A Half-duplex system should only use the PTT mode, and the customer’s voice will not be
heard while the operator is pressing the
A1 or A2 button.
In single lane operations, when a customer arrives in the drive-thru lane, you will hear a single beep in the headset.
In dual-lane operations, when a customer arrives in a drive-thru lane, you will hear one beep in the headset for Lane 1 and two beeps for Lane 2.
In dual-lane operation, if you are communicating with a customer in one lane when another customer arrives in the other lane, you will hear one beep in the headset for Lane 1 and two beeps for Lane
2. When the customer leaves the speaker post in the lane you are connected to, the same beep will repeat in the headset every four seconds until you touch the
A1 or A2 button to communicate with the customer in the other lane.
Note: In dual-lane operations, if you have a Mode Switch and it is set to “DEDICATED,” you will only hear beeps in the headset when a customer arrives in the lane you are operating.

8.4 Tandem Operation (two speaker posts in one lane)
Figure 25. Typical tandem drive-thru layout
In Tandem operation, customers at Order Point #1 are served by Order Taker #1, and customers at Order
Point #2 are served by Order Taker #2.
If a customer arrives at Order Point #2 when there is no customer at Order Point #1, a “Please pull forward” message will automatically be played from the Speaker Post or Menu Board #2.
When a customer arrives at Order Point #1, Order Taker #1 will be alerted.
If a customer arrives at Order Point #2 when there is already a customer at Order Point #1, Order Taker
#2 will be alerted.
Note: If you want to change the pre-recorded “Please pull forward” message, see
, pg. 51.
CAUTION: In tandem operation, if Order Taker #2’s headset is set in the Auto Hands-Free mode, the
“Please pull forward” message will not be played at Order Point #2. If necessary, Order Taker #2 will have to ask the customer at Order Point #2 to pull forward.
91
8.5 Internal Communication
If you’re using the
BHF mode , the B channel remains open for hands-free communication among crew
