EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION The EOS|HD is an audio system primarily for use at quick-service restaurants. The equipment shown below is standard with each EOS|HD. Optional equipment can be ordered from your local dealer. As you unpack the EOS|HD, check the packing list for each item to verify receipt of all equipment and quantities listed.
Base Station Features The base station is the electronic heart of the EOS|HD. It contains the circuitry through which all functions of the drive-thru audio system are channeled. External base station features are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Internal connectors and controls are shown in EOS|HD.

1.2.2 Correct Wearing of Headsets Wear the headset with the microphone on your right or left side next to your mouth. Adjust the headband and microphone boom as needed. Hold microphone boom here to adjust microphone position Figure 5. Correct wearing of the headset 1.2.3 Battery Removal and Replacement Battery-release...
Battery Charger 1.3.1 Battery Charger Power Adapter for Use in the United States Plug the cord from the +5VDC power adapter into the top of the battery charger as shown in Figure 7, and then plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. Figure 7.
1.3.3 Battery Charging Charge up to four batteries while you are installing the other equipment. Charging time is about 2.5 hours. When the batteries are fully charged, install them in the headset as shown in section 1.2.3. Procedure: Insert batteries in the charging ports for charging. The batteries can only go into the charging ports one way.
In the event of an electrical power outage — such as from a lightning storm or power generator failure, if you experience problems with your HME equipment after the electricity comes on again, unplug the equipment and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
5 and 7 PM. Note the following symptoms carefully to determine the possible cause of interference. If you need help; in the USA call HME Technical Support at 1-800-848-4468, outside the USA, call your local HME representative.
If using a power source other than that supplied by HME, the power source must provide 24 volts DC regulated to +/-5%, be capable of supplying a minimum of 50 watts of power and be “LPS”...
If outside coverage is not needed, mounting the base at locations #3, #4 or #5 is best. Headset signals from most work areas would thereby require no wall penetration. Other work and seating areas may require signals to penetrate one wall. In this case, the remote antenna kit can be used.
Figures 28-38. Note: If using a power source other than that supplied by HME, it must provide 24 volts DC regulated to +/-5%, be capable of supplying a minimum of 50 watts of power and be “LPS” rated for safe operation of the unit. The power source must meet all applicable local regulatory requirements.
3.1.3 Register Headsets to Base Station Before you permanently mount the base station on the wall, you must register the headsets to the base station, so they can be used in a walk test to determine where the base station should be mounted for the best reception and transmission to/from all the areas where they will be used.
Page 22
You can continue pressing the Back button until you return to the MAIN MENU or LANE STATUS display. If you have any problems registering the headsets: In the USA, call HME Technical Support at 1-800-848-4468. Outside the USA, call your local HME representative for assistance.
3.1.4 Walk Test for Best Transmission/Reception Before permanently mounting the base station, do a walk test with the base station at various locations until the best possible transmission/reception is found. To check transmission/reception, have two people walk around the area where the headsets will be used, pressing the B button to communicate with each other, walking past the menu board to test reception when using speed-team operation.
Hold the enclosed antenna mounting bracket against the wall at the desired mounting location and mark the wall through the two screw holes in the bracket. It may be necessary to mount the antenna high enough to avoid a safety hazard or possible damage to the antenna.
Cable Pulling CAUTION: If you do not use the HME audio cable, be sure the speaker/microphone wires you use are a twisted pair. For full-duplex installations, the speakers and microphones must use separate cables or audio feedback will occur. Never run high-voltage cables in the same conduit with audio or loop cables.
3.3.1 Install DM5 Microphone Typical DM5 Microphone installation involves placement of the microphone in its molded foam enclosure and mounting it inside the upper compartment of the speaker post, connecting it to the microphone/speaker cable wires from the drive-thru audio system, and filling the empty space behind the unit with acoustic foam (not provided).
3.3.2 Install SP10 Speaker Strip approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) of insulation from the end of the speaker cable, and ¼ inch (6.35 mm) of insulation from each of the two cable wires, but do not tin the wires. Connect the speaker cable wires to the connector plug as shown in Figure 19.
If using the optional mounting brackets: Attach the brackets to the screw inserts on the sides of the speaker unit with the two Phillips (crosspoint) screws provided as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21. Attach brackets to speaker Hold the front of the speaker centered against the speaker grill of the menu board or speaker post.
Optional SP2000A Speaker/Microphone Installation The installation described below is for typical mounting of the SP2000A directly against the inside of the speaker grill. If it needs to be mounted at an angle, or at a distance from the speaker grill, its base can be bolted to a horizontal surface. Installation of this speaker is not recommended, except for half duplex systems.
