INTRODUCTION
We advise you to read this quick guide to start using the
Scoopy+ in a very short time. For more detailed
information on each step, do not hesitate to consult the
full user manual on our web site:
www.aeta-audio.com
In this guide, we assume most of the main basics are
known and that you already have a microphone and a
headphone connected.
SETTING UP
Powering
Before switching on the Scoopy+, you need to have 6
C/LR14 batteries inserted in the bottom compartment,
and/or an external DC power connected on the DC jack.
Battery
Scoopy+ works with non rechargeable or
NiMH batteries.
Six 4500mAh NiMH batteries provide
autonomy for more than 4 hours.
External power supply
You can use an external power DC. Scoopy+ needs 12V
DC but is able to work with a voltage from 8 to 15V / 2A
minimum.
The external DC supply is also used to charge the
batteries. Only NiMH batteries are supported by the
internal charger.
Antenna (Wireless option)
The Scoopy+ has an optimal internal antenna. In place of
the internal antenna, Scoopy+ can use an external
antenna connected on the rear panel [8].
SIM card (Wireless option)
To establish a mobile communication, you should have a
SIM card from a telecom operator. Scoopy+ supports a
standard size SIM; use a card adaptor to support a micro
SIM Card (Contact your dealer for more details).
Switch OFF the unit to insert the SIM card in
the unit.
Remove the drawer [7] by pushing its small button,
insert the SIM card inside and put it in place.
Info: For a new SIM card, use a mobile phone to activate
your prepaid SIM card; to avoid undesired tones, disable
waiting call tone.

5
SET A CALL
The Scoopy+ should have been configured before this
step. If it isn’t the case, go to network configuration
chapter:
-Ethernet, page 7
-ISDN, page 8
-POTS, page 8
-Mobile, page 8
Switching Scoopy+ on/off
To switch Scoopy+ on, press 3 seconds.
Press the same key 3 seconds to switch off.
Step for wired network
Connect the Scoopy+ to the wall socket through the
right network interface (page 3): Ethernet [2], POTS [4]

ETHERNET IP NETWORK
Connect your SCOOPY+ to the Ethernet network via the
Ethernet port.
Set up the unit in IP mode over Ethernet: enter in the
menu Setup / Network / Change Network / Ethernet.
You can check if the Ethernet connection is active if you

address is clearly identified. To find the IP address of
your unit on the network, enter the menu / Tools / About
/ Local IP.
Change audio quality

information (in the AOIP parameters menu!).
On the public IP network, or if you don’t use a
SIP server, we highly recommend to use a
STUN server.

stun.aeta-audio.com
by using the front panel keyboard, then press
.

To get HD Voice over mobile (7 KHz bandwidth)
To get a HD Voice connection, some conditions are
required:
-Both devices in the connection must support HD voice
-Support of HD voice by your mobile operator’s
network
-Very often, only the 3G network supports HD voice.
This depends on the country or area, and the operator.
For this last reason, having a connection on 3G can be a
condition to get HD Voice. In this case, the 3G is a useful
indication that HD Voice is possible.
In addition, it is possible to force the operation on 3G
mode: /Setup / Network / Mobile Parameters /
Preferred Technologies / Only 3G.
INMARSAT BGAN NETWORK (Option)
See the user manual.

CONTACTS / RELAYS
You can transmit 2 “contact” states along with the audio
program during an established link. These contacts can
e.g. control relays or lamps on the remote side.
