To use this function, you will need a second IFB100 that is also connected by audio cable to your cart and placed
some distance away in the direction you expect Talent to travel. Set the frequency of this second IFB to 2 MHz
(+ 0.002 GHz on the
{p.42}) above the first unit. Also be sure to set the
{p.24} on the Audio Recorder(s) (i.e. ZFR100) to the lowest frequency assigned to the two IFB100s.
In operation, the first IFB100 will be closer to (or on) your cart and the second IFB100 will be some distance away
to cover the area you anticipate using. While the audio recorder(s) (i.e. ZFR100) is within range of the first
IFB100, it will be receiving IFB audio on that lower IFB frequency. Once the ZFR100 has gone out-of-range of the
first IFB and gone into-range of the second IFB, the ZFR100 IFB receiver will switch to receiving on the frequency
assigned to the second IFB. If over time, the unit moves out-of-range of the second IFB and back into-range of the
first IFB, the ZFR100 will once again start receiving on the first IFB‟s assigned frequency.
