Plantronics CA10CD Setup guide

1.1 Set up the CA10CD
Amplifier as shown.
1.2Plugone endof the Console
Interface Cable into the CA10CD
Telephone Jack andthe other end
into the headset receptacle on
your console.
1.3Plugthe AC Adapter into the wall
outlet. The Base Power indicator light will
illuminate.
2.1 If present,remove the shipping
insulator pull-tabon the battery,
located between the Remote Unit
andthe Battery Pack.
2.2If necessary,attach the Remote
Unit to the Battery Pack.The Remote
andBattery Pack slip together easily
andsnap into place. Do not force
them together.
2.3Slide the Remote Unit andBattery
Pack into the ChargingWell until the
ChargeIndicator illuminates.
Note: Remote Unit must remain in
the Base for 5seconds to establish a
communications link before the system
can function.
Prior to usingthe CA10CD,the Battery
must bechargedfor 8hours. (You may,
however,use the Remote while it is in the
ChargingWell. This will increase charging
time).The BatteryChargeLight will turn
off after the Batteryis fully charged.

3.1 Slide Remote into the unzipped
Pocket. Be sure the antenna goes
through the hole in the Pocket as
shown. Zip up the Pocket to neatly
contain the Remote andBattery.
3.2Connect the Headset Adapter
Cable to the Remote Unit Headset Jack.
3.3 Press the Headset Quick Disconnect
Cable into the Headset CordClip.
4.1 Connect the Quick Disconnect to
the H-Top Headset of your choice.
Put on your headset.
4.2Press the Power Button on either the
Remote or the Base. The green Remote
Power Indicators on the Remote and
Base will illuminate.
4.3 Depress andholdthe TalkButton on the Remote Unit to
generate the “Key”signal to your console or radio. While the
TalkButton is depressed,the TalkIndicator Light will illuminate.
Releasingthe TalkButton will remove the “Key”signal to
your console or radio andextinguish the TalkIndicator.
4.4Adjust the volume from your headset by usingthe Listen
Volume Control.
The CA10CD is compatible with most systems on the market.
The user must initiallyset the Transmit Level Switch andthe
Configuration Switch to the optimum settings. These switches
determine how the adapter interacts with a particular system.
4.5The CA10CD Transmit Level Switch provides three levels:
“1”(high or carbon),“2”(medium or electret),and“3”(low
or dynamic). The standardsettingis“1”.
Adjustingthe transmit output level by movingthe
Transmit Level Switch to position 1,results in more
output.
Movingthe Transmit Level Switch to position 2or 3
reduces your output. You can further fine tune the
transmit level with the Talk
Volume Control buttons.
4.6If you have misplacedthe
Remote,press the Page Button
for 3seconds andthe Remote
will emit two longloudbeeps.

tofirst use.
■Checkthat all cords are correctly connected and firmly in place as per the
connection diagram.
■Adjust the Listen Volume Control.

Ihear a squeal in the headset
■Be sure the headset plug is pushed all the way into the headset jackon
the Remote.
■Secure the Headset Cord under the cord clip on the Remote.
■Reduce the Tal kVolume (control located on the side ofthe Base)
■Ifsqueal occurs with the talkvolume at minimum,move the Transmit
Level Switch (located on the backofthe base)from position 1to position
2,or from position 2to position 3,and readjust the Tal kVolume Control.
Refer to Step 4on the other side ofthis guide.
■Be sure the headset microphone is pointing towards your mouth.
■Reduce the listen volume by pressing the (-)button on the Remote.
■Ifyou have multiple CA10CDBase units,move them as far as possible
from each other.

■Press the Channel Button until you get a clear signal.
■Ensure Manual Channel Settings are “0/0”.
■Ifothers are using a CA10CDAmplifier in your immediate vicinity,call the
Technical Assistance Center at Plantronics (800-544-4660)for instructions
on adjusting the channel control settings.
Ineed more talk time
■Aback-up battery packmay be held in the Charging Well while the
Remote Unit is in use. This provides an immediate source ofadditional
talktime. Extra packs are listed in the Supplies and Accessories section
below.
mode. When the wheels are set to 00,the system looksfor an unused channel
when the Remote is turned on. The user can change channels by pressing the
Channel button during the connection. Pressing the Channel button on the
Remote will cause the system to step through the channels in increments of
three to the next unused channel. This permits the user to avoid interference.
Setting the Channel Selection Wheels to 01-40chooses fixed channel selection
mode. The left wheel is the 10’s digit,and the right wheel is the units digit,
looking at the Base from the back.Selecting channel 01sets the Base to
transmit on 902.8MHzand the Remote to transmit on 925.3MHz.Selecting
the next higher channel results in a transmission increment of.05MHz.
Therefore,selecting channel 02sets the Base to transmit on 902.85MHzand
the Remote to transmit on 925.35MHz.Selecting channel 40sets the Base to
transmit on 904.75MHzand the Remote to transmit on 927.25MHz. The
Channel button on the Remote is disabled when the system is in fixed channel
selection mode. Fixed channel selection mode is provided to permit planned
dedicated channels for individual users in an environment with many users.
This mode avoids interference and accidental eavesdropping.
To select a particular channel,first turn off power to the Remote unit. With the
Remote removed from the base,change the Channel Selection Wheels on the
backofthe Base to the desired channel. Then set the Remote in the Base to
train the Remote. When power is reapplied to the Remote,the newly selected
channel will be used.
Changing the Channel Selection Wheels while the Remote is energized will
not result in the system changing channels until the next time the Remote is
placed in the base with the power off.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The CA10CDoperates in a frequency band shared with other radio products.
Sometimes interference occurs. Interference may result in buzzing or pops in
the audio,or may result in shortened range. The CA10CDpermits manual
channel pre-assignment to avoid interference from other users. The CA10CD
(in automatic mode)has some capability to detect and avoid interference on a
single channel when the Remote is first turned on. The CA10CDwill change
channels to find a clear channel when the Remote is turned on ifin automatic
channel selection mode. This does not protect the user once the Remote is on.
This protection is also only effective ifthe interference source stays on one
channel. The system cannot protect itselfagainst frequency-hopping systems.
A total of40channels can be manually selected on the CA10CD.39Channels
are usable. Do not select channel 15,which is always used by the system for a
moment when the Remote is dropped into the base. Using channel 15will
result in momentary interference to the unit which has channel 15selected
from all other units each time the other remotes are cradled.
In high-density applications it is important not to have other 902-928 MHz
cordless products in use in the area. Interference may come from systems well
outside the coverage area,as the range for interference is greater than the
coverage range.
Predicting the effective range and region ofsusceptibility to interference for
individual environments and building layouts is ofsufficient complexity as to
be beyond the scope ofthis discussion. The preceding information is provided
as a reference for system planning,and the performance ofindividual
installations may vary.
