Headset Power Switch and Volume Control
A power switch is provided on the volume control. This control is located on the bottom side
of the right ear dome on the UHW-10/ 20 headsets, and on the top side of the left ear dome
on the FHW-10 headset. Volume should be set at a comfortably high audio level to optimize
performance but not so high as to cause audio distortion and hearing discomfort.
Operation
The base station should be installed and powered up prior to operating the headset. If the
headset has not been previously paired to the base station, refer to the “Pairing Section” for
pairing instructions. Turn the power switch on, the green LED will normally flash rapidly to
indicate that the headset is attempting to link to the base. The corresponding link LED on the
base station will also be flashing rapidly at this point. After approximately 5 seconds the head-
set will link to the base and the green LED will turn on steadily to indicate that the headset is
linked to the base. The headset will also sound a one time double beep on connection to
the base. Once the connection is established, full duplex communication between the base
station and the headset will become possible.
Out-of-Range Warning
The UHW/ FHW wireless headsets incorporate an out-of-range warning as a safety feature to
warn the user against exceeding the coverage range of the headset. The headset will sound
a 1 second cautionary beep every 10 seconds when the headset is at the fringes of the cover-
age range and before the headset goes completely out of range and looses its link to the
base. The cautionary beep will stop if the user steps back into range from the base station.
Warning: Firecom recommends that the headset always be operated
within the coverage range to ensure consistent and clear communications
and therefore to ensure the safety of the crew and help them perform
their duties in the safest and most effective manner.
Reconnect Feature
Should the headset go out of range and loose its link to the base station, the headset is
capable of automatically reestablishing its link to the base within 10-15 seconds of the head-
set’s coming back into range. However, if the headset is not able to reconnect to the base
station within 5 minutes of loosing its link, the headset will be timed out and powered down
automatically. The user will then have to cycle power to the headset in order to reestablish
the link to the base station.
