Clear-Com BS200 - Manual (Page 13)

Interference Avoidance
Interference, which may be heard in a headset as popping sounds, may occur whenever other equipment such as
WI-FI systems, wireless DMX systems, other HME Base Stations, etc. use the same frequency band. If these
systems can be limited to one portion of the band, then the DX200 can be set to the opposite half of the 2.4 GHz
to 2.48 GHz band. To avoid this type of interference, select the upper part of the frequency range on one Base
Station (or more), and the lower part of the frequency range on the other(s) as follows:
• Turn on the Base Station power. An “8” will appear on the STATUS display for a few seconds.
• After the “8” disappears and the STATUS display is blank (primary base) or shows a double bar
(secondary base), press and hold the CLEAR/BAND button and then, while you are still holding the
CLEAR/BAND button, press and hold the REGISTER button and wait until a L, H or A appears, and then
release both buttons.
NOTE: Base stations are shipped in the A (default) position.
• Press the CLR/BND button to cycle through parts of the
frequency band; L = Low end, H = High end and A = All.
• Wait until “c” appears on the display.
• Initialize each Base Station and register all Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations to be used with each Base
Station as instructed on pages 11 – 18.
NOTE: “c” will only appear on the STATUS display if you are setting the frequency band the first time, or
you are changing the setting.
If you stop at L, H or A that was already set, an “8” will appear for a few seconds and the
STATUS display will become blank.
If you change a base station’s existing frequency band setting, you will have to re-register all
beltpacs and/or all-in-one headsets that were registered to that base station.
Multiple Base Stations
This mode of operation can be used to expand the number of users communicating through multiple HME Base
Stations operating in the same portion of the 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz frequency band. Two or more base stations
can be “daisy-chained” together with cables connected to the 2-wire connectors (#27 and #29) on the rear panel
of each base station, following Clear-Com
® /RTS ® standards.
NOTE: The base station does not provide or require 2-wire line power.
The cable connectors must RTS ® Mode Clear-Com ® Mode
be 3-pin XLR type with the Pin 1 = Common Pin 1 = Common
following pin connections: Pin 2 = Channel 1 Pin 2 = N/C
Pin 3 = Channel 2 Pin 3 = Audio
If “daisy-chaining” multiple base stations, you must do the following:
Step 1. Press TERM button in (TERM ON) to terminate
the last base station in the daisy chain.
Be sure you do this to only one base station.

27 29
Step 2. For each base station, follow all the steps under
Equipment Connections on page 7.
Step 3. Follow the procedures on pages 9 and 10 to set
each base station as primary or secondary, select
frequency bands and initialize each base station.
