III. WIRELESS 

6000 

OPERATION 

The COM6000BP can be operated in Hands-Free (HF), Auto-Hands-Free (AHF) or Push-To-Talk (PTT) 
modes.  If your store does not have HF capability, the Wireless 6000 should be operated according to 
section 

III. A. 3.

 below in single-lane stores, or section 

III. B. 3.

 (page 9) in dual-lane stores. 

A full-duplex system supports HF, AHF and PTT operation.  Communication can be transmitted and 
received at the same time, as in a normal telephone conversation.  In the AHF mode, transmission 
and reception are activated automatically when a customer drives into the drive-thru lane.  In the HF 
mode, transmission and reception are activated by touching and releasing one of the 

A

 buttons on 

the Communicator.  In the PTT mode, one of the 

A

 buttons on the Communicator must be held while 

the operator is talking to the customer.  A half-duplex system only supports the PTT mode.  One of  
the 

A

 buttons on the Communicator must be held while the operator speaks to the customer.  The 

customer’s voice will not be heard while the operator is transmitting. 

When a customer arrives in the drive-thru lane, you will hear a single beep in the headset for single 
lane operations and for Lane 1 in dual-lane operations, or a double beep for Lane 2 in dual-lane 
operations.  In dual-lane operation, if you are communicating with a customer when another customer 
arrives in the opposite lane, a higher pitch double beep will sound in the headset.  When the first 
customer leaves the speaker post, the same high pitch double beep will repeat in your headset  
every four seconds until you touch the 

A1

 or 

A2

 button to communicate with the second customer.   

NOTE:

 In dual-lane operations, if you have a Mode Switch and it is in the “2 OPERATORS” position,  

you will only hear single beeps in your headset when customers arrive in the lane you are operating.
