TalkBack System Pairing
READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
PAIR YOUR CLOCK
After successfully synchronizing your SBT clock using one of the previously mentioned options, you
must also pair your secondary clock to the master clock. Pairing your clock to the master clock allows
the secondary clock to send TalkBack data to the master clock. TalkBack data includes battery life, signal
strength, mechanical issues, last time of synchronization, and more.
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE WITH TWO OR MORE CLOCKS AT THE SAME TIME.
PAIR ONLY ONE CLOCK AT A TIME.
Note:
During the pairing process, all other master clocks and network repeaters must not be powered. The
master clock you are pairing the secondary clock with should be the only one powered and transmitting.
Failure to power off the other transmitters will prevent the TalkBack clock from pairing with the correct
master clock.
1. Place the secondary clock as close as you can to the master clock’s transmitter, within 50 ft.
2. Log on to the master clock’s web interface. See the SMA 5000 or 6000 Series TalkBack Master Clock
manual for more information and diagrams.
3. On the web interface, go to the “TalkBack” tab and click on the “Add New Clock” button. Enter the
name of the clock in the “clock name” box.
4. Power the secondary clock. If you are using a locally-powered clock, temporarily hook the clock up to
24V, 115V or 230V power.
5. Immediately after powering the clock, press the “Start Pairing Process” button on the “Clock Pairing”
page of the web interface. If you see a status bar with the words, “in progress” on your web interface,
then the pairing process has started.
Only power one clock at a time.
• If the words change to “success”, then the secondary clock has successfully paired with the
master clock.
• If the words change to “time out”, then the process was not successful. You will have to repeat the
process by powering off the clock and starting from step 4.
