AWR-CB2100 One-way Call box Operaon:
The AWR-CB2100 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-CB2100
will operate in the following manner:
• The AWR-CB2100 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. If the call box reset buon is ‘NOT’ pressed, and if the call box is programmed for repeat messages
at a designated me period, the call box will transmit its rst repeat message to the associated
two-way radios. This process will connue for the programmed message delay me period and
the number of alert message repeats. If the call box is allowed to progress though all of the
programmed repeats, without being reset, the call box will automacally me-out and re-enter
Sleep Mode.
6. If the Reset buon is pressed, while the call box is acve, the alert message process is terminated.
7. The call box ‘Speaker Message on Clear’ (if programmed) will be played to the local speaker.
8. The call box ‘Message on Clear’ (if programmed) will be transmied to the associated two-way
radios.
9. When the call box ‘Message on Clear’ message transmission is complete, the AWR-CB2100 One-
way call box will re-enter ‘Sleep Mode”.
• Low Baery alert
Each me the AWR-CB2100 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 each radio alert transmission. 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.
• Status LED
1. Call box is acve (awake) LED is ashing green
3. Call box is transming LED is steady red
4. Call box is in Sleep Mode LED is o

NOTE: Pressing the reset buon a second me at this point will enter local speaker ‘Volume Set’
mode. See “Adjusng the Volume Level …” below for volume set details.
6. Press the ‘Acvate’ buon to remain in record mode. A beep will be heard.
7. Press the Acvate buon to select the next audio message number to record.
8. Repeat step 5 through 7 above for all desired audio messages.
9. To exit audio recording mode, press and hold the reset buon unl the status LED ashes red one
me.
10. 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
the following steps are started:
1. Press the ‘Acvate’ and ‘Reset’ buons simultaneously unl the status LED ashes two mes.
2. Press the reset buon one me. A beep will be heard from the local speaker.
3. Addional reset buon presses will increment the volume level up, acvate buon presses will
increment the volume level down.
Note: There are 16 volume levels. 1 is the lowest, 16 is the highest.
4. To exit volume adjust mode, press and hold the Reset buon unl the status LED ashes red one
