GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY MODEL BAT41, BAT50, BAT60...... 26
Illustrations in this publication are approximate representations of the actual
equipment, and may not be exactly as the equipment appears.
HM Electronics, Inc. is not responsible for equipment malfunctions due to
erroneous translation of its publications from their original English version.

Hereby, HM Electronics, Inc. declares that the DX100 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
This product operates in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz frequency range. The use of this frequency range is not yet
harmonized between all countries. Some countries may restrict the use of a portion of this band or impose other
restriction relating to power level or use. You should contact your Spectrum authority to determine possible restrictions.
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) EN 300 328 compliant.
MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLERS AND USERS
Use only manufacturer or dealer supplied antennas, power supplies, batteries and battery chargers.
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF (Radio Frequency)
energy, which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
Base Station Antenna minimum safe distance: 7.9 inches (20 cm) at 100% duty cycle.
Base Station Antenna gain: This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of up to
2dBi. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
Antenna mounting: The antenna(s) used for the base transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 7.9 inches (20 cm) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Antenna substitution: Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer. You may
be exposing person or persons to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer
for further instructions.
WARNING: Maintain a separation distance from the base station transmit antenna to a person(s) of at least 7.9 inches (20 cm)
at 100% duty cycle.
You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the
minimum separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF exposure
compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly
installed, externally mounted antenna.
INFORMATION TO USER
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

IMPORTANT!
DISPOSAL OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The European Union (EU) WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) places an obligation on producers (manufacturers,
distributors and/or retailers) to take-back electronic products at the end of their useful life. The WEEE Directive
covers most HME products being sold into the EU as of August 13, 2005. Manufacturers, distributors and
retailers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of
specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for Disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging which indicates that this product was put on the
market after August 13, 2005 and must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to
dispose of the user’s waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of
WEEE. The separate collection and recycling of waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment.
For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local
authority, your household waste disposal service or the seller from whom you purchased the product.

The DX100 provides private, secure communication. Each base station can register up to a total of fifteen
BP200 Beltpacs and/or WH220 All-in-one Wireless Headsets. Any combination of Beltpacs and/or Headsets
may be registered. Four of the fifteen Beltpacs and/or Headsets can transmit simultaneously.
Beltpacs/Headsets can be used either in the Push-To-Talk (PTT) or Hands-Free (HF) mode. The base station
operator can stop any Beltpac/Headset from transmitting.
The MB100 Base Station can be operated using standard AC electricity, an external DC power source or six AA
batteries. A power supply, cable and a battery sled are included with the base station.
This is an example of a typical theatrical application. A variety of other uses for the DX100 are possible.

AC40 BATTERY CHARGER SETUP
The AC40 is the charger for Beltpac batteries.
IMPORTANT! –Before installing the system, connect the AC power supply to the AC40 Battery Charger
and plug it into an electrical outlet. Charge all the batteries for the Beltpacs while the other equipment is being
installed. Charging time is about 2.5 hours.
Connect AC Power Supply
Attach the AC power supply cable connector to the screw connector on the battery charger.
Plug the power cord connector into the AC power supply.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The red lights on the charger will come on and go off, and then the yellow lights will turn on and remain on.
Charging the Batteries
Up to four batteries can be charged simultaneously.
The battery status lights next to each charging port are
explained below.
Up to six fully charged batteries can be stored in the
battery storage ports.
Insert a battery in each of four charging ports
until it clicks in place.
A yellow light adjacent to each charging port
illuminates while the port is empty. When a
battery is in a charging port, an adjacent flashing
yellow light indicates CHARGE PENDING,
which indicates that the battery is too hot. Adjust
the room temperature or move the charger to a
cooler area. When a battery is in a charging port,
an adjacent, steady yellow light indicates
CHARGE FAILED. If this happens, follow the
instructions on the side of battery charger.
A red light adjacent to a battery port indicates
that the battery in the port is CHARGING. A
green light adjacent to an inserted battery
indicates a READY, fully charged battery.
