Primary and Secondary Base Station Settings
One base station must be designated as “primary” while the others are designated as “secondary”. You may
have only one primary and up to 3 secondary base stations. Secondary base stations are assigned numbers 1, 2,
or 3 during initialization, to differentiate them in frequency offset.
• Label the base stations as “Primary,” “1,” “2” and “3.”
• Start with every base station and Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station power off.
Configure each secondary base station as follows:
• First, remove the six screws from the top and three screws from each side of the top cover, and lift the
cover off and set it aside.
• Locate the DIP switch on the transceiver circuit board inside the base station. Set DIP switch #4 to the ON
position. Leave #s 1 and 3 in the OFF position.

• Replace the cover and screws on the base station.
• The primary base station DIP switch #4 should be in the OFF position.
Base Station Initialization
For multiple HME base stations to operate without interference, they must all be properly initialized before
performing any other setups. After initializing each base station, register each Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker
Station that will be used with that base according to the procedures on pages 11 - 18.
NOTE: Base stations must be set up for split-band operation prior to initialization. If a different frequency
band needs to be selected to avoid interference, the primary base station must be set to this
frequency band before base station initialization is started. (See Interference Avoidance on page 8.)
Initialize each base station and register all Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations as follows:
• Turn the primary base station power on. Register any Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations to be used with the
primary base station (See pages 11 - 18). Turn each Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station off after registering it.
• Power on one secondary base station. The STATUS display will show a double bar, indicating the
secondary base is ready to be initialized.
