1.3 Features
0The use of 1.9 GHz band digital communication technology allows for crisp and clear calls to be made in confidentiality.
0Licenses and application procedures are not required; the device can be used immediately on the day it was set up.
0A flexible system can be set up, from a small-scale system using one Portable base WD-K10PBS or Base Station WD-
K10BS, to a large-scale system combining several base stations.
0Up to 10 sub units can be connected to a base station (base unit) at Normal Audio Quality, and up to 5 sub units can be
connected at High Audio Quality.
*The default Quality Mode during calls is Normal Audio Quality. However, for clearer and crispier calls, you can select
High Audio Quality.
*Similar for 2 or more base stations in a baselink system.
0Simultaneous bidirectional calls are possible.
0The operation and usage environment of a sub unit may be limited when using it in Listening Mode configured for dedicated
receiving. However, more sub units can be operated with few base stations.
0Press the [PTT] key on the transceiver to call immediately at any time, without any complicated operations.
0Group calls can be made for up to 4 groups, according to different hierarchy and business use. You can contact all
members of the group simultaneously or talk with other groups even in Grouping operation.
0Use a clip microphone for clearer calls with less noise even under a noisy environment.
0This system allows external audio signals to be input to intercom calls, and intercom calls to be output to audio signal
monitor.
0The Portable base WD-K10PBS can be used continuously for 25 hours in the Transceiver Mode, and for 8 hours in the
Base Station Mode (when 4 transceivers are connected).
0The Transceiver WD-K10TR can be used continuously for 20 hours.

1.4 Precautions
0As far as possible, use the transceiver and portable base at a distance away from external wireless systems.
An error due to radio wave interference may occur if they are too near.
0Using earphones in a dry environment may cause tingling sensation in the ears. This is due to the static charges
accumulated on the body and the connected device, not malfunctioning of the earphones. This is less likely to occur on
someone wearing clothes made from natural materials or preventive actions taken to prevent the accumulation of static
charges on the clothes.
1.5 Dust Resistant/Water Resistant and Environment of Use
0The Portable base/Transceiver has been tested in-house and verified of its IP67 dust resistant/water resistant
performance at the design phase. However, the dust resistant/water resistant performance is not guaranteed for all
situations in actual use.
*IP67 (Dust resistant/water resistant):
No detrimental effects on device after submerging device in fresh water/still water of 1 m deep without additional non-
specified pressure and retrieving it 30 minutes later.
0Under normal usage, the device can maintain its IP67 dust resistant/water resistant performance for one year. (When
terminal cover, battery cover is installed)
*We do not have a special maintenance program to maintain the dust resistant/water resistant performance.
0Align the terminal cover and battery cover to the attaching position before securing. When attaching the covers, ensure
that no fine foreign material (including fiber, hair and sand) is caught in between.
0Do not open or close the terminal cover or battery cover when the transceiver is wet.
0If the supplied microphone plug mounting bracket is used when connecting the specified option to the speaker/microphone
terminal, the transceiver meets the IP67 dust resistant/water resistant specifications. The dust resistant/water resistant
performance of the option varies with each optional product.
If an option other than the above is connected, the transceiver is not dust resistant/water resistant.
0The supplied charger and AC adapter is not water resistant. Do not use the transceiver when it is wet.
0If an impact is exerted on the transceiver, it may affect its dust resistant/water resistant performance.
0Using the transceiver near electronic products such as TVs, radios, and PCs may subject it to radio frequency interference
or cause radio frequency interference to other devices. Use the transceiver away from these devices.
0Do not subject the transceiver or submerge it in soapy water, detergents, seasonings, juice, salt water, or oil. Do not
submerge or subject the transceiver to hot or cold water.

1.6 Precautions for Proper Use
Portable base/Transceiver
0Do not drop or knock these devices. These are precision equipment that may malfunction if subject to strong impact.
Clip Microphone with Earphone, Headset
0Do not use a non-compatible clip microphone with earphone, headset. This may cause malfunction.
0When pulling off the clip microphone, earphone, or headset microphone adapter, do not pull the cable. This may cause
the cable to snap. Be sure to hold the plug and pull.
0Do not touch the metal part of the plug. This may cause poor contact. If the device is dirty, wipe with a dry clean cloth.
0When connecting the clip microphone with earphone or headset, be sure to turn off the power of the sub unit. Making a
connection while the device is turned on activates the protector which disables operation on the sub unit. The clip
microphone with earphone or headset is also disabled.
0Insert the plug of the clip microphone with earphone straight in.
System
0As this DECT intercom system uses wireless communication, noise may occur and calls may be cut off if the system is
moved to a place unreachable by radio waves.
0The call distance differs for a Portable base WD-K10PBS and Transceiver WD-K10TR.
And the communication distance differs depending on the usage environment and conditions.
For details, please consult the authorized dealer.
0Do not place the device near heating appliances or at locations subject to direct sunlight for long hours.
0When howling (audio feedback) occurs, adjust the speaker volume or change the direction and position of the microphone.
0The number of units that can be connected may be fewer depending on the radio wave environment and setup condition.
Portable base/Transceiver Battery (Rechargeable Battery)
0Do not place the battery at locations subject to high temperature (such as direct sunlight). This will cause leaking or
shorten the lifespan.
0The guideline for the number of battery recharging times is as follows.
Model Recharging Times
Portable base WD-K10PBS Approx. 500 times
Transceiver WD-K10TR Approx. 500 times
0As the number of recharging times may change drastically depending on the usage temperature, usage time, and
remaining capacity at the time of recharging, this guideline is not a guarantee.
0If the usage time has shortened sharply even when the number of recharging times is less than the guideline, the battery
is considered to have reached the end of life. Please buy a new one.
Daily Maintenance
Turn off the power first, then remove the battery or power plug. Perform the following maintenance.
0If the device is dirty, wipe with a dry and soft cloth.
0If the device is extremely dirty, wet the cloth in diluted neutral detergent solution and squeeze dry before wiping off the
dirt. Wipe again with a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture.
Precautions
0Do not use benzene or thinner. This may cause damage or malfunction in the body.
