FCC NOTICE This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION The DX200 provides private, secure communication. Each base station can have up to fifteen Beltpacs “registered” to it. Four of the fifteen Beltpacs can transmit at the same time. However, by connecting two or more base stations together, these numbers can be increased. For example, two base stations can support thirty Beltpacs, of which eight can transmit at the same time. Beltpacs can be used either in the push-to-talk or handsfree mode.
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION The following equipment is standard with the DX200 Wireless Intercom System. As you unpack the equipment, check the packing list to be sure you received all items listed.
SECTION 2. EQUIPMENT SETUP BATTERY CHARGER SETUP IMPORTANT! – Before installing the system, connect the AC adapter to the battery charger and plug it into an electrical outlet. Charge all the Beltpac batteries while the other equipment is being installed. Charging time is about 2.5 hours. Connect AC Adapter • • Connect the battery charger cable to the AC adapter as shown to the right. Match the wires labeled AC and GND to the terminals on the adapter with the same labels.
BASE STATION SETUP The following description is for a basic, stand-alone DX200 system setup. Connections with 2-wire and 4-wire intercoms, and other auxiliary equipment are described in the INTERCOM AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT SETUPS on pages 7 and 8. Equipment Connections 1 2 3 4 Rear Panel 5 6 8 7 Front Panel The numbers (# ) below refer to items on the illustrations above. Step 1. Connect the two enclosed antennas to the antenna connectors (#1 and #2) on the rear panel of the base station.
BELTPAC SETUP AND REGISTRATION The first time you operate the DX200 system, you must register each Beltpac for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Beltpacs when their power is on, and will know the difference between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies. If a Beltpac is added or replaced later, the new one must be registered and the old one remains in memory.
If registration failed: • • A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac #, Version #, Begin registration, …” Both power lights on the Beltpac will be blinking red, and there may be a delay of up to 90 seconds before you hear “Registration failed.” Press the RESET button on the base station. To press the RESET button, insert a small paper clip or similar object into the RESET hole at the lower-left corner of the base station front panel.

If using a 2-wire intercom, plug it into the base station at #3 or #5, depending on whether a male or female connection is required. Step 2.
The numbers (# ) below refer to items on the illustrations on page 7. Auxiliary Equipment Step 1. If using auxiliary equipment, such as another intercom, a CD player or other audio source, connect its output cable connector (male) to the AUX IN connector (#7), and its input cable connector (female) to the AUX OUT connector (#8) (if applicable).
SECTION 3. EQUIPMENT OPERATION BASE STATION OPERATION Front Panel Controls, Indicators and Connector 1 3 4 2 1. 6 7 5 POWER Switch Press the upper part of the switch to turn the power on. A red light on the switch will be lit when the base station power is on. Press the lower part of the switch to turn the power off. The red light will go off. All settings are preserved when the power is turned off, and will be restored when the power is turned on again. 2.
6. 2Wire/4Wire IC Indicators and Controls The 2W/4W button turns on/off both 2-wire and 4-wire intercoms simultaneously. The 2W light above the button indicates intercom on/off status. The 4W ONLY button turns on/off the 4-wire intercom alone. The 4W light above the button indicates intercom on/off status. Use the SND and RCV controls in the outlined area to adjust the 4-wire intercom send and receive levels. 7.
BELTPAC OPERATION Beltpac Controls and Indicator Lights The Beltpac control buttons have a snap action. They will activate when pressed firmly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons. Power On/Off • Power On – Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message in the earpiece will say “power on,” and the red power lights at the corners of the IC and ISO buttons will go on.
Microphone Gain Adjustment Some users talk louder or softer than others. To allow for this, microphone gain adjustment is provided. To increase microphone gain – Press the volume-up S button while holding down the ISO button in the normal operating mode. The microphone gain increase can be monitored through sidetone, or preferably by someone else on a Beltpac or at the base station. To Decrease microphone gain – Press the volume-down T button while holding down the ISO button in the normal operating mode.
SECTION 4. TROUBLESHOOTING If you are unable to correct any of the problems described below, contact your dealer for assistance. • Red light on base station power switch does not come on. Be certain power cords are properly connected to base station, power supply and electrical outlet. • Beltpac power lights do not turn green and “out of range” is heard in the headset. Be certain your base station power is on. Turn the Beltpac and base station power on and off. You may be too far from the base station.
