Racescanners Fan-Link Unlimited User manual

INTERCOM SIMPLEX / DUPLEX OPERATION
ALL UNLIMITED FAN LINKS CAN OPERATE IN BOTH MODES
SIMPLEX OPERATION
When operating in "simplex" mode it means that it is in "one way" mode. Press
your PTT button and start talking and the other party has to wait until you are
finished talking and release your PTT button before they can press their PTT
button and say something back to you. A very slow conversation of one way
communicating back and forth.
DUPLEX OPERATION
Duplex operation is when both (or all) parties can talk and hear the other parties
at the same time. Your telephone system is a "duplex" system. Both parties can
converse rapidly and it speeds up the conversation.
"UNLIMITED" FAN LINKS CAN OPERATE AS SIMPLEX OR DUPLEX
SYSTEMS. IF ALL PARTIES HOLD THE PTT BUTTON DOWN WHEN
SOMEONE STARTS TALKING EVERYONE CAN TALK AND HEAR AT
THE SAME TIME.

WITH EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK ON BACK BAR
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SINGLE SCANNER INPUT OPERATION
When operating the Intercom System using two headsets and a single scanner
(input) the toggle switch (located on the left ear cup) must be in the UP position
(ALL) on BOTH HEADSETS.
TWO SCANNER INPUT OPERATION
When operating the intercom system using two headsets with a scanner plugged
into each headset you must have the toggle switch on BOTH HEADSETS set to
the DOWN (ISO) position.
To see arrangements for multiple headsets and inputs see the reverse side of
this page.
INTERCOM IS BATTERY POWERED
Outside the RIGHT EAR CUP (on the back bar) OF EACH HEADSET is a 9 volt
battery located in a black "stretch pouch" that powers the intercom system. It
only operates when the PTT (push-to-talk) button is pressed. Manufacturer
reports that the battery should last about a year. We always recommend on any
battery powered device that you ALWAYS have a spare battery for each headset
at all times. We recommend that you use alkaline batteries – longest run time
and shelf life. See instructions inside this booklet for changing the battery.
CABLES – 3 PIN UMBILICAL CABLE
You should route the cables where they are the most convenient for your seating
arrangement (these cables can plug into either side of the headset). There is no
need to have cables hanging across your chest and arms connected to your
partner.
ADDITIONAL HEADSETS CAN BE ADDED
Extra headsets can be added to the system at any time. Each additional headset
comes complete with umbilical cable and a scanner input cable. See our website
for current prices.

UNLIMITED FAN-LINK with EXTERNAL MOUNTED
BATTERY PACK ON BACK BAR - INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING THE BATTERY IN UNLIMITED FAN-LINK HEADSET
A 9 VOLT BATTERY IS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE RIGHT EAR CUP OF
EACH UNLIMITED FAN-LINK HEADSET ON THE SIDE OF THE BACK
BAR. IT IS MOUNTED INSIDE A BLACK "STRETCH POUCH". THIS
MAKES CHANGING THE BATTERY MUCH EASIER AND QUICKER
THAN BATTERIES MOUNTED INSIDE THE EAR CUP.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BLACK PLASTIC CONNECTOR THAT
SNAPS TO THE TWO POSTS ON THE TOP OF THE BATTERY. SLOWLY
WORK THE POUCH BACK DOWN THE BAR AND OFF THE BATTERY
(THE POUCH REMAINS MOUNTED TO THE BAR WHEN THE BATTERY
IS REMOVED).
UNSNAP THE BLACK PLASTIC CONNECTOR AND PLACE A FRESH
NEW BATTERY (ALKALINE BATTERIES LAST LONGER) IN THE
POUCH.
NOTE THAT THE WIRES ON THE CONNECTOR SHOULD AIM
DOWNWARD WHEN SNAPPED ONTO THE BATTERY (TURN THE
BATTERY OVER TO MAKE THE WIRES AIM DOWNWARD). SLOWLY
SLIDE THE POUCH BACK FORWARD OVER THE BATTERY UNTIL THE
CONNECTOR IS IN THE FRONT EDGE OF THE POUCH. NOTE THAT
THE POUCH MOUNTS THE BATTERY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BAR
IN THE STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE BAR BEHIND THE EAR CUP.
FOR STORAGE DURING THE OFF SEASON IT IS RECOMMENDED TO
REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE INTERCOM IN CASE IT WERE TO
LEAK AND CAUSE CORROSION TO DAMAGE THE HEADSET AND OR
THE POUCH.
