Getting Started
Locate the battery charger and batteries.
Immediately begin charging the batteries, as you will need to use a
headset to test and conrm the location of the base station.
When unpacking the system for installation, insure the following:
▪Inspect the system for damage—Report to Wentworth immediately.
▪Insure that all parts are present—Report missing parts immediately.
▪ Record the serial numbers IF the system is supplied from any
other source than directly from Wentworth Technology. Send the
#’s to Wentworth Technology.
▪ Insure that a detection system (loop and stand alone board) is
installed or supplied.
▪ Conrm that the conduit does not carry AC voltage lines.
Site Survey:
▪ Speak with the manager/owner/job superintendent to coordinate
the installation.
▪Discuss the proposed Base Station location. See below for detail
on selecting a proper location.
Location of the Base Station:
▪The Base Station must be in a location easily accessed by restaurant
personnel (eye level, within arm’s reach).
▪Avoid signal blocking metal walls, heading equipment, areas where
liquids could splash on base.
▪ Locate an available duplex outlet (within 6’)
STEP 1
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 4
USE the Base to test the Chosen Location.
Connect the Base Station Power Supply:
▪Plug the power supply barrel plug
into
the base station connector
located
on the upper right side.
In the event of
an
out of box
failure, call Wentworth
Technology immediately.
▪Precision Tip: Loop the removable AC power cord back across
the body of the power supply and secure it with a zip-tie or black
tape to prevent accidental disconnections.
Headset Battery Installation:
The battery compartment is located on the opposite side of the headset
from the microphone boom. To open the battery compartment, push up
on the battery door latch while pulling out the bottom of the door. Insert
the battery with the label facing out. Replace the door by inserting the
top of the door in its slot followed by pushing the bottom of the door into
place until it locks.
Power On Headset:
Press the ORANGE button on the opposite side of the headset from the
battery door. The green LED will light if the battery is properly inserted
and the door is closed.
Test the proposed location for the base station:
▪ Unlock Base Station with PIN
▪ Press PIN button on the Home Screen (top center of touch screen)
to access the “enter pin” screen
Enter Tech Pin“2580” using the
key pad
▪ If correct, the Home Screen will appear with the “Unlock”
graphic displayed.
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 5
Register the headsets (Note Headsets are usually pre-registered to
the base prior to the system shipping):
▪ Press the “Register” button on the Base Station Touch Screen
(TOP LEFT) to access the “registration screen”.
▪ Press the “Register Headset” bar on the Registration screen.
▪Power the headset “ON” while remaining close to the base station.
(One headset at at time).
▪ Registration will occur within 3 minutes.
▪Precision Tip: Wearing a registered headset, physically go to
areas where the headsets will be used and conrm that good
communications are available. Static will indicate a low signal.
“out of range” will be heard for loss of signal. Remember to test
outside in the DT lane where Speed Team usage will occur.
▪ After testing, unplug the Base Station for the balance of the wir-
ing connections.
Mount the base station:
▪ Use a drill to oval out one hole in the hinger for easy leveling of
the base.
▪ Depending on the surface type, select an appropriate
mounting fastener (zinc wall anchors supplied) insuring that the
mounting is rm and secure.
▪ Insert t
wo screws into the Base Station hinge and spacer plate
and attach to the wall. Spacer plate is 1”x3” with two holes to
match hinge.

Battery Charger Mounting:
It is recommended that the battery charger be wall
mounted to prevent liquids, crumbs or other debris
from entering the battery slots. The charger must
be mounted vertically with the lights on the right
side so that the battery slot latches are at the bot-
tom of the slot to retain the battery. Use the sup-
plied Velcro patches (one at each end) to secure
the charger to the wall. Pull “feet” off the bottom
of the charger if wall mounting. Use alcohol wipe
to clean the mounting surface. Allow adhesive to
cure. Do not mount battery chager to velcro for 24 hours if possible.
Cable pulling:
All audio cables are provided and are twisted-pair, shielded cables, 200’
in length.
▪ It is important that separate cables are used for the speaker
and microphone located at the order point.
▪ It is important that no high-voltage wiring is run in the audio
cables. This would negatively affect audio quality as well as
violate the Electrical Code.
▪ Two wire spools are provided.
▪ Black Jacket, use the Red/Black internal wires for speaker con-
necion. The extra green and white strands in the black jacket
cable are available for a detector connection if required.
▪ Gray Jacket, use the Green/White/Shield internal wires for
microphone.
▪ After pulling the cables, allow enough length on each end to
reach the intended areas plus a little extra wire to make con-
nection easy, but leaving no coils when completed.

Microphone and Speaker Installation:
▪ The microphone should be mounted at a level where the cus-
tomer will be speaking directly to it. (36”-40”)
▪ The speaker should be mounted below the microphone by 20”
to 24” to avoid feedback
▪Precision Tip: CAUTION: USE ONLY LIGHT PRESSURE TO
HOLD THE MICROPHONE OR SPEAKER IN PLACE. Over
packing the foam will reduce it’s noise canceling properties and
will transmit vibration. Loose, rough cut foam is preferred! It
is not necessary to ll the area around the speaker or micro-
phone. However, if there is a compartment between the micro-
phone and speaker, it is good to ll that area with any unused
foam to reduce resonance in the speaker post.
▪Precision Tip: Solder all wire connections. Leave wire con-
nections pointed up so that water cannot follow the wire into
the connection. Insure that wires do not lead water into the
speaker box or microphone, i. e. the wire should come out of
the bottom of the housing.Solder the microphone leads to the
gray jacket cable, (white and green).
▪Precision Tip: Do not ground the shield to the post! Leave
shield un-attached! Shield will only be connected at the base
station/terminal block. Solder the speaker leads to the black
jacket cable (RED and BLK wires) Solder the loop leads to the

rect entry displays “Thumbs Down”. Try again! The Restaurant Pin is set
at “0-0-0-0”.
Headset Registration Instructions:
Press the “Register Headset” button (top left button) opening the
screen shown to the right.
Registration Screen Information:
▪ Gray bar with no number = slot available for registration
▪ Gray bar with serial number = registered headset powered off
▪ Green bar with serial number = registered headset powered on
▪ Serial number followed by “LO” = headset in “Listen Only” Mode
To Register Headsets:
Press “Register Headset”(top left bar) then power on the headsets. Allow
a couple minutes. If registration is not successful, power off the headset
and repeat the process. (one heaset at at time is preferred).
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 11
To Put a Headset in Listen Only Mode:
Identify serial number on headset (see the sticker on battery side of
headset) Press the Serial Number Bar (it turns red) then press “Listen
Only” (yellow bar) “LO” appears after serial number.
Repeat process to remove headset from “Listen Only Mode”
Press the “Home” button (bottom right) to return to the Home screen.
Volume Set Up Instructions:
Press “Settings” (Fourth button on top row. ) Press “Set Volume”
Select the volume to be adjusted:
▪ Inbound = sound from the order point microphone which is
heard in the headset (4-6 generally)
▪ Grill Speaker = the volume of the optional kitchen or ofce ceil-
ing speakers
▪ Outbound Day Volume = the sound the customer hears when
in Day Mode (7-10)
▪ Outbound Night Volume = the sound the customer hears when
in Night Mode (7-10)
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 12
Tips on setting the sound:
For the best results, keep both inbound and outbound volumes as low as
possible. Setting the Inbound volume too high will unnecessarily in-
crease background noise. Begin setting at Level 3, increasing one step
at a time until satisfactory. (3-6 most common).
Setting the Outbound volume too high may produce echo. Begin setting
at level 7. (If the Night Volume mode is NOT used, set that volume to
match the DAY Volume. This provides protection from someone activat-
ing the Night Volume Mode accidentally). (7-10 most common).
Grill Speaker Option:
The Grill speaker must be balanced by adjusting the potentiometer on
the circuit board inside the Base Station housing. Opening the left side
cover will reveal two blue knobs. The upper blue knob is the Grill Speak-
er Balance adjustment. The knob can be rotated ¾ of a full turn, stop to
stop. Test the setting until an acceptable balance is achieved between
the volume of the customers voice (clockwise) and the volume of the
order takers voice (counterclockwise).
Press “Tools” (lower right, above “Home”) to return to the previous screen.
Set Clock Instructions (optional- for greeter or night volume only):
Press “Set Clock” opening screen to the right.
Adust the time (24 hour format) using the arrows above or below the numbers.
Press “Tools” to return to the previous screen. Press “Set Night Volume Time”

Night Volume Time Instructions:
If Night Volume Mode is NOT used. Set all times to 00:00.
If Night Volume Mode WILL be used:
Touch “Begin Time” then set the time desired for a sound reduction to occur.
Touch “End Time” and set the time for the standard Day Volume to return.
Night Volume Mode provides an automatic daily change of volume to
accommodate locations where residential areas are close to the restau-
rant. Be sure to properly set the desired Night Volume level on the “Set
Volume” screen. Press “Tools” to return to the previous screen.

Trouble Shooting:
The Base Station will not power up:
▪ Insure that the outlet is powered.
▪ Recycle the power
▪ Inspect the wire connections: Terminals “E” (black) and “F”
(red) wires connected.
▪ Contact Wentworth Technology: 877-495-1634
There is interference coming in the headset with the “Center” but-
ton is touched:
▪Disconnect the microphone wire at the Base to see if the interference stops.
▪If it does, insure that the shield is properly connected at the Base
▪ Insure that the shield is not connected at the microphone end of
the cable. Never connect the shield to the speaker post housing!
▪ The terminal may be tightened on the insulation instead of the wire.
*Insure that excess microphone cable is not coiled. This can
cause the wire to become an antenna. The microphone cable
should be cut reasonably short. Three feet of excess is ne.
There is an “echo” in the Order Takers headset:
▪ Reduce the Outbound Volume setting.
▪ Inspect the speaker post. Sound from the speaker may be
“conducting” to the microphone. Insure that the speaker box is
sitting on a foam pad and NOT tightly stuffed into the speaker
post housing.
▪ Insure that the microphone is isolated from the speaker post
housing with loose foam packing.
▪ Add a foam barrier between the speaker and microphone inside
the speaker post if there are voids or compartments.
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 15
There is a lot of ambient noise in the headset when the “Center”
button is touched:
▪ Reduce the Inbound Volume setting review settings to Night
Volume Time.
One headset will not communicate with the speaker post:
▪ Power off the headset. Listen to the voice prompts
▪ Is the headset registered and connected? (View the Registra-
tion screen.)
▪ Is the serial number showing?
▪ Is the headset in Listen Only Mode?
▪ Delete then Register the headset.
The buttons on one headset will not work:
▪ Power off and on
▪ Check registration. Delete and register again.
The detector is not working:
▪ Inspect all detector and loop wiring and connections
▪ Insure that the “common” is connected to terminal “O-GND”
▪ Insure that the “Normally Open” is connected to terminal “M-
VEH DET in 3V”
▪ Recycle the power to the detector, insuring that no cars are
present.
▪ Test the continuity of the loop. If a direct short is showing, the
loop is defective.

Additional Installations:
Kitchen speakers (grill speakers) are an optional item. If ordered, install
as directed by the manager/GC or owner in the kitchen drop ceiling.
It is important that the kitchen speakers be located as far away from the
areas frequented by headsets to reduce feedback.
SpeedThru to HyperActive Q-Timer connection for greet cancel
The HyperActive Q-Timer requires a special cable (P/N 3172) from
Wentworth Technology in order to utilize the greet timer function when
using Wentworth’s SpeedThru headset system.
DO NOT use a standard audio jack/cable, this will damage the Q-Timer
or the WT SpeedThru.
Wentworth Technology’s audio jack for the Q-Timer has special circuitry
in it to make the devices compatible.

Saw Cut Loop Wire Installation
Wentworth Technology, Inc. | www.WentworthTechnology.com | 877.495.1634 17
Inspect the cut
◦Check the depth (1-1/4” to 1-1/2” minimum)
◦Clean any debris from the bottom of the slot
◦“Knock down” sharp corners to prevent damage to the wire insulation
Lay the wire
◦Start at the speaker/ menu board allowing enough wire to make nal
connections
◦Follow the lead wire slot to the main body of the loop
◦Lay 5 or 6 turns of wire around the loop
◦Use a NON-METAL push stick with rounded corners to seat the wire
in the slot as each turn is laid in place
◦Keep tension on the wire to prevent kinks/humps in the stack
◦Return out the lead slot to the speaker post or menu board
Seat the wire
◦Use 4” pieces of backer rod foam every couple feet to hold the wire
in the slot
◦Later, the sealant will be able to ow to the bottom of the slot
encasing the wire
Twist the lead
◦Anchor the wires at point they enter the lead
slot
◦Chuck the ends of the wire in a drill and give
the lead wire 15-20 twists per foot
◦The splice connections must be soldered to
avoid corrosion of the wire
◦IMPORTANT: Twisting the wire is to insure that one wire does not
move in relation to the other resulting in a false detection. Cut the tail
reasonably short and splice it to the jacketed wire. Wrap the splice with
electrical tape to avoid movement in the wires.
Seal the saw cut
◦Re-check the wire in the body of the loop to insure it is seated
◦Fill the slot half full on the rst pass
◦Hot pavement may make the sealant bubble, so allow a cure time
before lling slot
◦Seal the full length of all saw cuts to prevent water from entering the
cut

Basic Detector Wiring
Most detector boards are quite similar in operation, having the following
connections:
•A pair of loop inputs which connect to the in-ground loop
•A pair of relay outputs which connect the to base station
•A pair of power inputs or a barrel plug from a transformer (generally
12VDC to 24VDC)
•A secondary pair of relay outputs for a standalone timer (optional)
Important points:
•Soldering of loop connections it CRITICAL. Corrosion will result in
missed detections.
•Vibration or movement between the loop wires and loop extension can
result in false detections which is why loop wires are twisted. Further
secure all loose loop wires and extension with electrical tape to insure
they do not move in relationship to each other.
•Insure the 3V and Ground connections are identied and properly
connected at the Base Station. Failure to do so could possible cause
difculty if a timer is ever added to the system.
