with another transmitter strip to allow operation on a different frequency. The 
transmitter is available set to any of over 1,600 different frequencies between 169 
MHz and 216 MHz. This frequency must be pre-set at the factory. It is not field 
adjustable. Consult your dealer or the Clear-Com factory for details on 
frequency coordination and changes.

A 1/4-wave “whip” antenna is provided with the UPX-10. Other antennas, such 
as the Clear-Com Model 123U dipole antenna may be used to facilitate rack 
installation or to improve coverage where the standard whip antenna would 
otherwise be blocked or shielded by equipment cabinets or large objects.

RCV-2 WIRELESS BELTPACK RECEIVER 
(MODELS RCV-2, RCV-2S, RCV-2D)

The Clear-Com RCV-2 wireless receiver is a miniature portable device normally 
worn on the body of the user. Small and lightweight, it operates from a single 
9-volt battery for 8-10 hours of operation. It features a low-battery indicator and 
rechareable battery operation. It is useful for a variety of one-way personal 
communications purposes.

The RCV-2 operates in the high-band VHF frequency range of 169 to 216 
MHz. Systems employing the RCV-2 require licensing under FCC Part 90 or 
Part 74. It is compatible with the Clear-Com UPX-10 and WBS-6/600 
transmitters.

Note

: Any change or modification made to this product without the express written 

authorization and approval from Clear-Com could void the user’s authority to operate 
this equipment. 

The RCV-2 may be ordered with either one or two frequencies installed, and is 
switchable between those frequencies for maximum flexibility.   

OPERATION

UPX-10 TRANSMITTER

The UPX-10 transmitter is intended to be used only with the Clear-Com RCV-2

transmitter is not compatible with receivers from other manufacturers.

Frequency Selection

You must choose a transmit frequency for the UPX-10 that can coexist with 
other RF systems in the coverage area. This frequency must be specified at the 
time of purchase. The Clear-Com factory provides a frequency coordination 
service free of charge for this purpose.

Note:

 There are restrictions on the use of specific frequency ranges by certain types of 

users. If you do not understand these restrictions or are uncertain of their applicability, 
consult your Clear-Com dealer or the Clear-Com factory.
