1.2.1 Base Station
Front — (See Aon Figure 2.)
• Four power supply lights are on when the base station has AC power.
• “A” TALK light is on during channel-A transmission.
• “B” TALK light is on during channel-B transmission.
• VEHICLE PRESENT light is on when a vehicle is present in the drive-thru lane or when
the system is in vehicle-detect override.
• RECORD light is ON RED when the base station is ready to record red message for the
message repeater, and BLINKING RED while red message is being recorded. It is ON
GREEN when the base station is ready to record green message for the message
repeater, and BLINKING GREEN while green message is being recorded.
Bottom — (See Bon Figure 2.)
• PUSH FOR RECORD MODE button must be pushed IN AND RELEASED ONCE to
prepare the base station to record red message for the message repeater, or pushed
IN AND RELEASED TWICE to record green message.
Behind Front Door — (See Con Figure 2.)
• MESSAGE REPEATER switches must be switched ON to use the message repeater,
OFF when the message repeater is not being used. Instructions are given inside of the
front door.
• SPEED TEAM switch must be switched ON for speed-team operation, OFF for normal
drive-thru operation
• VEHICLE DETECTOR switch must be switched to OVERRIDE to disable vehicle
detector; to reset vehicle detector, switch to OVERRIDE for 5 seconds, then switch back
to NORMAL and leave for normal vehicle detection operation.
• DIP switches at the top are used to control message audio routing to the speakers and
COMMUNICATOR®s. DIP switch settings are shown on the inside of the front door.
• Nine level controls are used to set VAA level, Vehicle tone level, audio source levels at
the grill speaker, outbound audio source levels at the outside speaker and the inbound
level from the speaker post microphone.

3. How to Use the COM6000BP COMMUNICATOR®Controls
The Communicator control buttons have a snap action. They will activate when
pressed firmly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons.
a. Power On/Off
• Power On – Press and release the PWR (power) button. A voice message
in the earpiece will say “power on,” and the red power lights next to the A1
and A2 buttons on the Communicator will go on. After a short time, one light
will go off and the other will change to green, indicating the Communicator is
ready to use. The voice message will say “Lane 1 (or 2) ready.” In dual-lane
operations, a green light next to A1 indicates ready on Lane 1, next to A2
indicates ready on Lane 2.
• Power Off – Press and hold the PWR button for approximately two seconds.
A voice message in the earpiece will say “power off,” and the power lights will
go off.
b. Volume Up/Down
• Volume Up Adjustment – Press and release the volume-up Sbutton.
Each time it is pressed, a beep will be heard in the earpiece as the volume
increases one step. When maximum volume is reached, “maximum” will be
heard in the earpiece. If you press and hold the volume-up button, repeating
beeps will be heard as the volume steps up to maximum. “Maximum” will be
heard in the earpiece, and will be repeated until you release the volume-up button.
• Volume Down Adjustment – Press and release the volume-down Tbutton.
Each time it is pressed, a beep will be heard in the earpiece as the volume
decreases one step. When minimum volume is reached, a double beep will
be heard. If you press and hold the volume-down button, repeating beeps will
be heard as the volume steps down to minimum.

4. COMMUNICATOR®Registration
Prior to operation of the Wireless 6000 system, each Communicator must be registered for
use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered
Communicators when their power is on, differentiating between them and interfering
transmissions from other electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies.
Register each Communicator as follows:
• Be certain all Communicators to be registered are powered off and the base station
power is on.
• Open the base station and press the registration button near the lower-left corner of the
base station circuit board shown in Figure 5.
⎯If no Communicators are powered on, the status light shown in Figure 5 will be blinking
red. If any Communicators are powered on, the status light will be blinking green.
⎯After you press the registration button, the Communicator ID display will show a
small “o” for open.
• Press and hold the Bbutton while pressing and releasing the PWR (power) button to
turn the Communicator on, then release the Bbutton. This will cause the Communicator
to enter the registration mode.
⎯The status light in the base station will be blinking green, and the Communicator ID
display will continue to show a small “o” for open.
⎯The power lights next to the A1 and A2 buttons on the Communicator will be
blinking red then will change to green.
When the registration is successfully completed:
⎯ The green status light in the base station will be on steady and the Communicator
ID display, to the left of the status light, will show the ID number assigned to this
Communicator. ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E.
⎯ One of the power lights on the Communicator will remain on steady green.
NOTE: A maximum of 15 Communicators can be registered. If a Communicator is
replaced, the new one must be registered, but the old one remains in memory. If the
maximum number of 15 is exceeded, all current registrations must be cleared, and all
active Communicators must be re-registered. To clear all current registrations, press
the “Clear All Registration” button and the “Reset” button simultaneously. Continue
holding the “Clear All Registration” button after releasing the “Reset” button, until the
clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the Communicator ID display. All active
Communicators can then be registered, one at a time.

5. Battery Removal and Replacement
TO CHANGE BATTERIES: When a battery is becoming weak, a voice in the earpiece
will say “Change battery.” When this happens, take the Communicator out of its pouch
and remove its battery by carefully sliding the battery-release latch in the direction of
the arrow shown in Figure 6. Pull up on the end of the battery near the battery-release
latch and lift the battery out of the Communicator, or turn the Communicator over and
catch the battery in your hand.
TO REPLACE BATTERIES: When replacing a battery in the Communicator, place the
end of the battery with the metal contacts into the battery holder on the Communicator,
in the same position as the battery you removed. Press the top of the battery carefully
into the battery holder until it snaps in place under the battery-release latch.

1.2.3 Battery Charger
IMPORTANT: Before installing the system, connect the AC adapter to the battery
charger and plug it into an AC electrical outlet. Place all the COMMUNICATOR®
batteries into it for charging while the system is being installed.
1. Charger Setup
Connect the battery charger cable to the 16.5VAC adapter as shown in Figure 7.
Plug the adapter into an AC electrical outlet and secure it to the outlet with the
grounding screw (if provided). The red lights will come on and go off, then the yellow
lights will come on and stay on.
2. 230 Volt AC Adapter Connections Outside the U.S.A.
• Connect an electrical plug to the wires on the power cable according to color
codes (Brown = live, Blue = neutral, Green with yellow stripes = ground).
• Plug the other end of the power cable into the receptacle on the AC adapter.
• Remove the spade lugs from the brown and blue wires of the battery charger
cable and cut the green/yellow wire as short as possible. No ground wire will be
used. Cut the connector off the AC adapter output cable. Strip enough of the
insulation from the wires of both cables so they can be spliced. Splice the wires
from the AC adapter cable to the “AC” wires of the battery charger cable. Cover
the splice with electrical tape or shrink tubing.
• Plug the electrical plug into an AC electrical outlet.
