MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 

The  following  section  describes  the  procedures  for  checking  the  operation  of  your  2810E  diver 
communicator, general maintenance procedures, and how to troubleshoot common problems. 

 

DIVER RADIO COMMUNICATOR CHECK PROCEDURES 

6.1

The following are a series of step-by-step procedures to perform a functional check of your 
2810E communicator using only a headset. These steps check all communication functions 
of the 2810E in both 2-Wire and Full Duplex (4-Wire) mode. If the communicator checks out 
using these procedures, then any communication problems are probably located somewhere 
else in the system setup.  

6.1.1 

FULL DUPLEX (4-WIRE) CHECK 

This  procedure  checks  the  communicator  functions  in  the  Full  Duplex  (4-Wire) 
mode. 

1. 

Set all volume controls to the mid-scale (halfway) position. 

2. 

Turn the SPEAKER SWITCH off to avoid acoustic feedback. 

3. 

Turn  on  the  communicator  and  verify  the  BATTERY  CONDITION 
INDICATOR is on or blinking. If the LED does not come on at all, then replace 
or  recharge  the  battery.  If  that  does  not  resolve  the  problem,  then  go  to  the 
troubleshooting section to determine the cause. 

4. 

Identify  the  microphone  and  headset  leads. When  using  an  Amron  headset, 
the microphone  is the red  banana  plug and the headset is the  black banana 
plug. 

5. 

Plug  the  microphone  lead  into  the  TENDER  MICROPHONE  (red)  jack  and 
the headset lead into the TENDER HEADSET (black) jack. 

6. 

Don  the  headset  and  talk  into  the  microphone.  You  should  be  able  to  hear 
yourself in the headset. Adjust the DIVER TO TENDER VOLUME control and 
verify the level can be adjusted to a comfortable level. 

7. 

Move the  headset microphone  lead to the  DIVER  MICROPHONE (red) jack. 
Talk into the microphone. You should be able to hear yourself in the headset. 
Adjust the DIVER TO TENDER VOLUME control and verify that the level can 
be adjusted to a comfortable level. 

8. 

Move the  headset lead to the  DIVER  EARPHONE (black) jack. Talk into the 
microphone. You should be able to hear yourself in the headset. 

9. 

Connect  a  source  device,  such  as  a  MP3  player,  to  the  AUXILIARY  AUDIO 
INPUT.  Set  the  volume  control  of  the  device  to  low  and  start  playing  music. 
The  music  should  be  heard  in  the  headset.  Adjust  the  volume  as  required. 
Verify  that  the  music  is  cut  off  when  the  PUSH-TO-TALK  BUTTON  is 
pressed.
