Spectrum Friendly

All DX Series wireless intercom systems now feature Spectrum Friendly

 technology for interference-free operation in the 

increasingly crowded 2.4GHz frequency band. This new technology enables broadcast and theatrical production crews to 

avoid emerging frequency conflicts by designating the 2.4GHz operating frequency range: 

low-band

high-band

 or 

full-

band

While generally not a problem when separated, multiple applications and multiple users of the same applications in close 

proximity can result in additional risk for trouble-free operation. The new technology further ensures that products do not 

add interference to the spectrum for other essential wireless services in the vicinity, such as DMX-controlled lighting.

Avoiding Wi-Fi Interference

To avoid interference with Wi-Fi systems, it is recommended to set the Wi-Fi system to something other than channel 6 or 

7. Your DX410 should be set to the high or low band opposite any Wi-Fi frequency range in use.

DX410 Low Band = 2.4000-2.4400 GHz

DX410 High Band = 2.4433-2.4830 GHz

Wait until “c” appears on the display.

 

 

NOTE:

  A “c” will only appear on the STATUS display if 

you are setting the frequency band the first time, or you 

are changing the setting.  

 

If you stop at 

L

H

 or 

A

 that was already set, an “8” will 

appear for a few seconds and the STATUS display will 

become blank.

5. 

Register all COMMUNICATOR

®

s to be used with each 

base station as instructed on 

page 15

 

NOTE:

  If you change a base station’s frequency band 

setting, you will have to re-register all Communicators 

that were registered to that base station.

 

Small “o” indicates Primary base  

station is open for registration

Note: 

This feature is not available when the base station is in AFH mode.
