AWR-CB2200 Two-way Call box Operaon:
The AWR-CB2200 call box is congured for operaon by your radio dealer. Proper frequency informaon
and operang characteriscs are congured using programming soware. Your dealer will need to gather
operaonal informaon from you before the call box can be deployed. Once congured, the AWR-CB2200
will operate in the following manner:
Note: If Associate communicaons are taking place at the me of the Two-way call box acvaon, the
Two-way call box will suspend it’s “Message on Acvaon” transmission unl the channel acvity has
stopped (if programmed to do so). While waing to transmit the “Message on Acvaon”, the call box
WILL NOT provide Associate transmit audio to the Two-way call box local speaker. The call box will not
allow receive audio to be provided to the call box local speaker unl the “Message on Acvaon” audio
has been transmied to the Associates radios. Likewise, aer the Two-way call box Reset buon has been
pressed, the Two-way call box will no longer provide receive audio to the local speaker.
• The AWR-CB2200 will be in ‘Sleep Mode’ (o) the majority of the me. During ‘Sleep Mode’, very
lile current is being consumed allowing for extended baery life.
• A press of the ‘Acvate’ buon will cause the call box to ‘wake-up’ and perform it’s programmed
dues.
1. A short beep will be heard when the acvate buon is inially pressed.
2. The ‘Speaker Message on Acvaon’ greeng message will be heard on the local call box speaker.
3. If the radio channel is not busy, the call box alert tone (if programmed) followed by the ‘Message
on Acvaon’ will be transmied to the associated two-way radios. The status LED will be red
when the call box is transming.
4. When ‘Awake’, the status LED will ash green when the call box is not transming or receiving to
indicate that the call box is acve.
5. The Two-way call box is now acve and able to transmit or receive radio communicaons.
6. For typical Two-way call box operaon, an associate would now reply with an oer to assist and
provide basic call box operang instrucons to the call box user. Such as “press and hold the
Acvate buon to talk, release to listen”.
7. Press and hold the Acvate / Push to Talk buon to transmit, release to receive.
8. If the Reset buon is pressed while the call box is acve, the call box ‘Speaker Message on Clear’
(if programmed) will be played to the local speaker.
9. The call box ‘Message on Clear’ (if programmed) will be transmied to the associated two-way
radios.
10. When the call box ‘Message on Clear’ message transmission is complete, the AWR-CB2200 Two-
way call box will re-enter ‘Sleep Mode”.
11. If the Reset buon is NOT pressed, the Two-way call box will enter ‘Sleep Mode’ aer the
programmed period of inacvity.
12. Whether the reset buon is pressed or the call box enters ‘Sleep Mode’ due to inacvity, a short
series of beeps are heard, at the call box local speaker, just prior to the Two-way call box entering
‘Sleep Mode’.
• Low Baery alert
Each me the AWR-CB2200 call box is acvated, the baery level is measured. If the baery level
has dropped to a low baery level condion, the call box will process the ‘Low Baery Alert’ message
at the end of the “Message on Acvaon”. The radio users will hear the low baery alert message.
The call box local speaker will not hear the low baery alert message. The low baery alert is also
transmied aer the “Message on Clear” if the reset buon is pressed, OR just prior to the Two-way
call box entering ‘Sleep Mode’ due to inacvity.
• Status LED
1. Call box is acve (awake) LED is ashing green
2. Call box is receiving LED is steady green
3. Call box is transming LED is steady red
4. Call box is in Sleep Mode LED is o

Advanced Operaonal Funconality:
• Recording audio messages using the on-board call box microphone. The call box MUST be in ‘Sleep

4. Press the ‘Acvate’ buon unl the desired message number has been selected.
5. Press the reset buon to start recording.
• Speak clearly into the call box microphone.

10. The power o beeps will be heard as the call box enters “sleep mode”.
Notes: When recording messages, speak clearly at approximately 6 to 12 inches from the call box
microphone.
A slight pause aer pressing the reset buon to start the recording is recommended.
Default message numbers:
Message 1 – Speaker message on acvaon
Message 2 – Transmit message on acvaon
Message 3 – Speaker message on clear
Message 4 – Transmit message on clear
Message 5 – Low baery alert
• Adjusng the volume level of the call box local speaker. The call box MUST be in ‘Sleep Mode’ when
