II. COM2000BPOPERATINGMODES
The COM2000BP has two possible operating modes:
1. Operation with the latching feature enabled provides hands-free operating capabil-
ity. Operation of the COM2000BP in this mode is described in section II of this
supplement.
NOTE: Your Communicator was factory preset with the latching feature disabled.
2. Operation with the latching feature disabled requires pressing and holding button
“A” while speaking and listening to the customer. In this mode, operation of the
COM2000BP is the same as operation of the COM2000 COMMUNICATOR®,
as described in your HME Drive-Thru Audio System operating instructions.
III. COM2000BPOPERATION
A. Operationwith theLatchingFeatureDisabled
Operate the COM2000BP as instructed in your HME Drive-Thru Audio System
operating instructions for the COM2000.
B. Operation with the Latching Feature Enabled
•Turn the OFF/VOLUME control all the way clockwise and about half way back,
to turn the unit on and adjust it to approximately mid-volume level. The ON/
POWER light should be on.
•To communicate with a drive-thru customer, press and release the “A” button.
This will latch the Communicator in the transmit mode for hands-free operation.
The ON/POWER light should be blinking. With the Communicator “latched,”
you can have two-way conversation with the customer without touching the
Communicator.
NOTE: If a Communicator is latched (“A” button is pushed) when no vehicle is
in the drive-thru area, you will be able to hear inbound sound in your headset
from the drive-thru area outside. This will let you know that a Communicator is
latched. If a vehicle enters the drive-thru area while the Communicator is
latched, the Communicator will be muted during the vehicle-present tone, then
the inbound sound will return. The Communicator will remain latched for
communication with the customer.
•The Communicator will be “unlatched,” ending the conversation with the customer,
in any of the following ways.
1 - pressing the “A” button again
2 - pressing the “B” button
3 - customer’s vehicle leaves the drive-thru area
4 - pressing the Vehicle Detector Reset switch on the base station
5 - turning the Communicator off
