Introduction
DC-ConneX™ Translate Tour creates the most inclusive group experience across multiple
languages and social distances. Connect 2 Leaders to a single group or 1 Leader and 2
Translators to 3 different groups. This solution is ideal for translators or multilingual tours (up to 3
languages).
Translate Tour units are ultra-compact and lightweight with advanced digital technology. The
simple design provides easy operation with high-quality performance and functionality. A
rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers up to 9 operating hours on leader units and up to 14
operating hours on guest units.
Leader and guest units are designed to work in specific frequency ranges of 900MHz (US/CA
only), 863MHz (EU only), and 2.4GHz (Global). The US/CA & EU frequencies are dedicated audio
communications bands that provide for far less chance of interference compared with 2.4GHz
frequencies which share that frequency with Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi® and other devices that can
interfere with each other.

Operations
The Translate Tour solution can support two channels of communication simultaneously. This
feature can be used to support numerous multi-speaker and multi-group applications. The
illustration below shows 3 typical use cases. Case 1 is the simplest where 1 or 2 leaders use L1
units to speak simultaneously to a single group. Case 2 and Case 3 use L1 and / or L2 units to
support multiple groups with multiple speakers. Refer to the Detail Set-up Instructions for Case
1, Case 2, and Case 3 section in this User’s Manual for settings specific to L1, L2, and G units for
proper setting selections.
