•Heed all warnings.

•Follow all instructions.

•Do not use this apparatus near water.

•Clean only with dry cloth.

•Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.

A polarized plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide

blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug

does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the

obsolete outlet.

•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

apparatus.

•Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use

caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from

tip-over.

•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long

periods of time.

•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required

when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-cord

supply or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,

does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

•Use only chargers provided by HME/Clear-Com to charge the battery

packs or beltpacks. These include:

▪BAT60 Battery pack and beltpack charger manufactured by

HME/Clear-Com

User Guide|FreeSpeak II®Integra (Matrix version)

▪USB Charger model PA1015-050SIB200/PA1015-1SI/ PA1015-

1SI050200 provided by HME/Clear-Com with your beltpack.

•This product uses Lithium Ion Batteries which can be a fire hazard, if used

improperly. Use only HME/Clear-Com supplied BAT60 or equivalent

battery packs to ensure safe operation of the beltpack.

•When using AA Batteries follow all safety instructions from manufacturer.

Do not mix different battery chemistries. When depleted, replace all

batteries.

•The in-beltpack USB charging feature has only been tested utilizing

USB2.0 port.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product

to rain or moisture.

2Introduction to FreeSpeak II®

This chapter provides an overview of the FreeSpeak II digital wireless beltpack

system.

With a FreeSpeak II (FS II) wireless beltpack you can roam freely around a site or

facility while talking and listening to all, or selected, members of the production

team. With its four communication routes, the beltpack gives you the flexibility to

communicate quickly and seamlessly with individuals or groups, and to change

communication routes as often as needed.

The system operates in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz bands. With its unique

and innovative digital technology, which continually searches for unused radio

frequency (RF) channels, FS II avoids the noise and interference issues associated

with traditional wireless systems using congested UHF and VHF bands.

With FS II you can set up a wireless system specifically tailored to local needs by

locating transceiver antennas and beltpacks in areas where they are needed most.

And because the beltpacks operate in the unlicensed 1.90 and 2.4 GHz frequency

spectrum, there is no interference with existing wireless systems, even those

located in the same area.

You can use FS II stand-alone or connected with partyline, digital matrix intercom

systems or both. This manual covers the use of FS II with a matrix connection.

With FreeSpeak II Integra, wireless beltpack users can communicate with any

Eclipse HX panel users on a one-to-one or group basis.

Note: This manual covers the use of FS II with a matrix only (FS II Integra). For more

information on running an FS II system with a Base station, please see FreeSpeak

II User Guide, Base Station Version.

To use FreeSpeak with a matrix, the matrix must be equipped with E-Que cards in

antenna or splitter mode. The system must be configured via the Eclipse HX

Configuration software. See 3.1 Adding an E-Que card to the matrix below.

For more detail, please refer to the Eclipse HX Configuration Software User

Guide, section 5.34 E-Que antenna/E-Que FS II antenna.

Note: You cannot configure FreeSpeak and FreeSpeak II on the same Eclipse matrix. If

you attempt to do so, the Eclipse HX Configuration Software displays a warning.

2.1 An FS II communication system

An FS II system consists of three main elements:

•The wireless beltpacks.

•An Eclipse HX matrix (Omega, Median or Delta) with an E-Que card.

User Guide|FreeSpeak II®Integra (Matrix version)

Page 10

•The transceiver network that provide custom coverage zones in which

beltpacks can operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage

zones.

FS II also includes a drop-in battery charger for the beltpack Li-Ion batteries. You

can conveniently charge the battery by placing the whole beltpack into the

charger, or by placing individual batteries into the charger.

FS II operates using a cellular network of antennas located around a working

environment. The antennas connect to the matrix using CAT5/5e/6 cable via an E-

Que card installed on the matrix. Each antenna provides an area or cell in which

three to five full-duplex beltpacks can operate. Figure 2-1 shows an example

configuration.

Beltpacks can roam among and between cells without disconnecting because each

beltpack continually signals an antenna as to the strongest available signal. When

the signal from an antenna starts to diminish due to the distance from a beltpack,

the beltpack automatically “hands off” its signal to the nearest antenna, ensuring

smooth transfer.
