Beltpac Adjustments

Sidetone Adjustment

When you speak into the microphone, you can hear sidetone (your own voice) in the beltpac headset .

Sidetone can be adjusted as follows:

1

Be sure the beltpac power is on .

2

While holding down the “ O” button, press the volume-up () or volume-down () button as many times as needed to reach an acceptable level . If you reach the high limit, you will hear “maximum” in the headset . If you reach the low limit, you will hear double beeps .

Maximum sidetone level is recommended .

Microphone Gain Adjustment

Some users speak louder or softer than average .

The microphone gain adjustment helps to compensate for extremes in speaking level of coaches using beltpacs .

NOTE: The microphone gain can be monitored through sidetone, at the base station or preferably by someone else using a beltpac .

1

Be sure the beltpac power is turned on .

2

While holding down the “ X” button, press the volume-up  or volume-down  button as many times as needed to reach an acceptable level . If you reach the high limit, you will hear “maximum” in the headset . If you reach the low limit, you will hear double beeps .

Recommended microphone gain levels are:

• Beltpacs – 12 presses down from maximum

• All-in-one headsets – 8 presses down from maximum .

NOTE: Microphone gain and sidetone adjustments will be saved in memory . A reset is not required when the unit is powered off and on .

SECTION 5. EU BASE STATION ADAPTIVE FREQUENCY HOPPING

Hereby, HM Electronics, Inc ., declares that DX300 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC” with “Radio Equipment Directive (RED) . In AFH mode, DX300 complies with

European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) harmonized European standard EN 300 328 . Customers,

Distributors or Installers operating in a CE regulated country that switch off or disable AFH will render the product noncompliant with the directive and will be considered the manufacturer of the product .

CE Base Station Adaptive Frequency Hopping

Background

The DX300 wireless system utilizes a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio in order to provide robust communications . This system operates in the unlicensed 2 .4 GHz band . With the proliferation of other devices over the past few years in the same 2 .4 GHz band, instances where these devices and systems can interfere with each other has greatly increased . The European Union has updated the radio standards for equipment operating in this band in an attempt to reduce interference between equipment from different manufacturers . This European Telecommunications

Standards Institute (ETSI) harmonized European standard is known as EN 300 328 .

CLEAR-COM Adaptive Frequency Hopping

In order to reduce interference with other equipment and comply with ETSI Regulations, Clear-Com has implemented an

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) mode for the new DX EU base stations . The key idea behind AFH is using only the good frequencies, or channels, unoccupied by other equipment . The system scans for other signals and avoids these signals during operation . Since the radio environment is constantly changing, there is a continuous process of scanning for used frequencies and updating the list of good channels .

The Clear-Com system utilizes 46 discrete frequencies, or channels, within the 2 .4 GHz spectrum in order to communicate voice and data . The process of deciding which channels should be used is a 3-stage process . The process includes scanning for occupied channels, the broadcast of a channel exclusion list and the use of the exclusion list . The process is completed in three steps coexisting in time .

Operation in Severe Environments

During normal operation, the fact that the system is constantly changing the channel list in use is transparent to the user . It is possible, however, that in an environment with severe interference that the system may experience a slight degradation . The Clear-Com system will use a minimum of 15 channels . If the environment is very crowded and less than 15 channels are truly available, there could be increased radio ‘packet loss’ due to the high interference . The following symptoms may be observed with AFH systems in a highly congested radio environment:

● This may result in system ‘busy’ indications . Channel lists are updated every few seconds, and in a severe environment it is possible that these lists get missed by the communicator .

● Slight degradation in audio fidelity between the headsets and base station. This would be due to the same symptom as the ‘busy’ indications . The HD audio processing is tolerant to this condition, which is why the degradation may only be slight .

● Longer times to register . Registration may take longer, since the headset has to acquire the channel list from the base station . If the base station has excluded a lot of channels, this takes longer as the communicator does not have the exclusion list and looks for the base on channels it is not using .

● Initial sync time increase . For the same reason registration may take longer, the initial headset sync on power up may take longer .

EU Bases are shipped in the AFH (E-mode)

Do not tamper with the AFH mode if you are operating in a region that requires compliance with ETSI EN300 328. Changes and modifications not expressly approved by HM Electronics, Inc . could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment .

Interference Mitigation

Certain techniques can be used in an attempt to mitigate interference between different equipment in the 2 .4 GHz spectrum . Some of these are:

● Physical separation . If possible, equipment operating in the 2 .4 GHz spectrum should be operating as far as physically possible from the HME base station . A Wi-Fi access point or router is a common piece of equipment that could interfere with the DX300 system, or vice versa . These two pieces of equipment in particular should not be located close together .

● Spectral separation . Most Wi-Fi access points allow the administrator to set the channel and bandwidth that system operates on . Some systems employ an ‘auto’ mode, in which the Wi-Fi access point will automatically selected 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.

● Spectral efficiency . Wi-Fi systems employ a standard sometimes referred to as 802 .11 . The number “11” is simply the number given to the standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (the IEEE) . Modern Wi-Fi routers will allow operation employing the 802 .11n mode . This mode will allow higher data rates, but it also may consume twice the number of radio channels . If the Wi-Fi router is set to 802 .11n mode, it is best to limit Wi-Fi bandwidth to 20 MHz .

● Alternate band selection . While most Wi-Fi systems operate at 2 .4 GHz, which is the same band as the DX300 system . Most allow operation at 5 GHz . If possible, move any Wi-Fi access points and equipment to 5 GHz . This of course requires all Wi-Fi equipment to be 5 GHz capable, and most older equipment may only allow 2 .4 GHz operation . Selection of 5 GHz may also not be desirable if the Wi-Fi network is for customer access .
