have already been installed in the drive-thru lane.
4.1 Tools Required

4.2 Interference Prevention
IMPORTANT:
Interference may occur if the audio system is not properly installed.
The following types of interference could occur if precautions are not taken during installation.
Read this section carefully before proceeding.
4.2.1 Electrical Interference
Electrical faults in appliances and other electrical equipment can cause headset interference
when the system is active, such as static, hum, crackling, buzzing and zip sounds.
Interference caused by electrical faults in lighting systems might not be noticed immediately,
since most lighting systems are controlled by a timer or light sensing device.
Faulty Wiring or Components:
Faulty components or electrical wiring in menu boards or speaker posts can cause symptoms
identical to those caused by AM interference. Remove power to the menu board or speaker post
at the circuit breaker until the electrical system can be repaired.
Improper Earth Grounds:
Improper earth grounds in the building can cause random buzzing and zip sounds in the
headset when operating in either channel A or B. Placing a surge protector between the base
station power adapter and the electrical outlet can eliminate the problem.
● Wire cutter/stripper
● Soldering iron
● Rosin-core solder
● Electrical tape
In the event of an electrical power outage —
If you experience problems with your HME equipment after the electricity
returns, unplug the equipment and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
