, Covert mode has been deactivated. For more information, see Mode button on page 23. l Notification: The notification icons appear in the top and bottom right corners of the display. There are two notification icons:
o Vibrate: The Vibrate icon appears in the top right corner of the display and looks like a cell phone with squiggly lines on either side
. The icon indicates that the mic vibrates to show a change in its status. o Beep: The Beep icon appears in the bottom right corner of the display and looks like the side view of a speaker with lines coming out of it its status. The icon indicates that the mic beeps to show a change in Both notification icons can appear together (the mic vibrates and beeps to indicate a status change), separately, or not at all (there is no notification of a status change). For more information, see Mode button on page 23. Synchronizing the Transmitter and the Base The transmitter (mic) and the base in the vehicle must be synchronized before the DVR can record the audio that the mic transmits. The pairing that is created when the mic and the base sync with each other lets them identify each other's communication. (For information on the mic, see Transmitter on page 21; for information on the base in the vehicle, see Base on page 18.) Mics that stay in the same vehicle from shift to shift remain synchronized with the base in that vehicle. If you move your mic between vehicles or take it from a pool of mics inside the agency, then you must sync the mic with the base in the vehicle before you can use it. Note: A version of the base exists that only serves as a charger for the HiFi Microphone (HiFi Mic). This version of the base is not used in the vehicle. For information about the charge-only base, contact your WatchGuard Video representative. WGD00091 Revision F 29 HiFi Microphone The mic and the base in the vehicle sync automatically when you place the mic in the powered base for a few seconds. To sync the mic with the base:
1. Power the DVR on and verify it is ready to use. 2. Power the mic on (see Power switch on page 25). 3. Place the mic into the base. The LEDs on the mic and the base flash and the mic beeps as the pair syncs. Note: Once the mic and base are synced, either the green LEDs turn on (the mic is ready to use) or the red LEDs start flashing (the mic needs charging). For information on charging the mic, see Charging the Transmitter below. 4. Remove the mic from the base and verify their connection on the mic's display (see Status icons on page 27). Charging the Transmitter The battery in the transmitter (mic) must be charged before you can use the HiFi Microphone (HiFi Mic). The base (either the vehicle base or the charge-only base) serves as the charger for the mic. To charge the mic:
1. Power off the mic (see Power switch on page 25). 2. Place the mic in a base. Note: WatchGuard Video recommends that you power off the mic before you put it in the base to charge, but this step is not required. If the base is in the vehicle, the base syncs with the mic before the mic begins to charge. (For more information about syncing the mic and the base, see Synchronizing the Transmitter and the Base on page 29.) If the base is a charge-only base, usually used inside your office, the mic begins charging immediately. 30 WGD00091 Revision F Charging in a vehicle with the ignition off Note: The version of the base that serves only as a charger for the HiFi Mic is not used in the vehicle. For information about the charge-only base, contact your WatchGuard Video representative. As the mic charges, the red LEDs flash and the bars in the Battery Level icon on the display cycle in series. When the mic is fully charged, the green LEDs turn on and the Battery Level icon shows four bars. After 30 minutes, the mic is approximately 50 percent charged; the mic is fully charged after three hours. Note: If you charge your mic in a charge-only base, you may need to resync the mic with the base in your vehicle when you want use it again. Charging in a vehicle with the ignition off When you shut down your vehicle, the DVR shuts down with it. Because the HiFi Mic base is connected to the vehicle through the DVR, the base shuts down as well. After ten minutes, the base powers back up and begins to charge the transmitter (mic). The base remains on for four hours to fully charge the mic, then the base shuts down. Using Two HiFi Microphones For the most part, using two HiFi Microphones (HiFi Mics) in a vehicle is just like using one. If you use two HiFi Mics in the same vehicle, you need to implement two items to minimize potential interference:
l When you install the HiFi Mic antennas, install them horizontally in the upper right and upper left corners of the windshield, to keep them as far apart as possible If you are only using one of the transmitters (mics), dock the unused mic in its vehicle base l WGD00091 Revision F 31 HiFi Microphone This page intentionally left blank. 32 WGD00091 Revision F Best Practices and Troubleshooting Best Practices and Troubleshooting In this section... l Best practices for Installing the HiFi Microphone (HiFi Mic) (page 34) o o Using the HiFi Mic (page 34) l Troubleshooting HiFi Mic issues (page 35) WGD00091 Revision F 33 Best Practices and Troubleshooting Best Practices The items in the following sections are considered WatchGuard Video best practices. Note: These best practices are meant to help you have the best experience possible with your HiFi Microphones
(HiFi Mics); however, they are not required. Installation best practices Keep the following best practices in mind when you install a HiFi Mic in your vehicle:
l Use a short cable (3-foot) when you connect the HiFi Mic base to the DVR;
keeping the cable short helps maintain audio quality l Use the 900 MHz antenna that you received from WatchGuard Video with l l the HiFi Mic; using a different antenna can compromise wireless performance and audio quality Install the antenna horizontally in the upper right corner of the windshield (as you look out the windshield); this placement helps minimize potential interference If you use two HiFi Mics in your vehicle, install the antennas horizontally in the upper right and upper left corners of the windshield to keep them as far apart as possible; these placements help minimize potential interference l Finger-tighten the SMA connector when you connect the antenna to the base; using hand tools can damage the connector Usage best practices Keep the following best practices in mind when you use your HiFi Mic:
l Power off the transmitter (mic) before you put it in the base to charge l If you have two HiFi Mics in your vehicle, but you are only using one of the mics, dock the unused mic in its vehicle base; the unused empty base can interfere with the HiFi Mic that is being used 34 WGD00091 Revision F Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If your HiFi Microphone (HiFi Mic) is not functioning properly, refer to the sections below for possible remedies. If you have no reception... l Check that the power switch on the transmitter (mic) is on (see Power switch on page 25) l Check that the mic battery is charged (see Status icons on page 27) l Check the connection between the DVR and the base (see DVR cable connection on page 20) l Check that the mic and the base are synced, have a good connection, and that the mic has a strong signal from the base (see Status icons on page 27) Tip: If your HiFi Mic still has no reception after trying all of the above steps, contact WatchGuard Video Customer Service for further help. If you have poor reception, static, or noise... l Check the location of the antenna (see Installation best practices on page 34) l Check the antenna connection on the base (see Antenna connection on page 20) l Check that the transmitter (mic) and the base are synced, have a good connection, and that the mic has a strong signal from the base (see Status icons on page 27) If you have two HiFi Mics in the vehicle, check whether one of them is unused and NOT docked in its base (see Using Two HiFi Microphones on page 31) l Tip: If your HiFi Mic still has poor reception, static, or noise after trying all of the above steps, contact WatchGuard Video Customer Service for further help. WGD00091 Revision F 35 Best Practices and Troubleshooting If the transmitter does not respond to or synchronize with the base... l Check that the transmitter (mic) battery is charged (see Status icons on page 27) l Check the connection between the DVR and the base (see DVR cable connection on page 20) l Check that the power switch on the mic is on (see Power switch on page 25), turn it off and back on, then try again to sync the mic and the base
(see Synchronizing the Transmitter and the Base on page 29) Tip: If your mic still does not respond to or synchronize with the base after trying all of the above steps, contact WatchGuard Video Customer Service for further help. 36 WGD00091 Revision F Index A activate Covert mode, 24 alert icons, 29 alert mode, 23 antenna best practices, 34 connecting, 20 icon, 27 B backlight, 23 bars, signal strength, 28 base contacts, 21 mounted, 16 overview, 18 status LEDs, 19 synchronizing with transmitter, 29 Battery Level icon, 27 Beep icon, 29 beep mode, 23 best practices, 34 antenna, 34 DVR connection, 34 installation, 34 bulb icon, 28 buttons Display Backlight, 23 Mode, 23 Mute, 22-23 Power switch, 25 record, 22 Index Talk, 22 C charge level, 27 charging base LEDs, 19 display icon, 27 transmitter, 30 transmitter LEDs, 24 with ignition off, 31 connecting antenna, 20 DVR, 20 Connection icon, 27 contacts base, 21 transmitter, 25 Covert mode activate, 24 base LEDs, 19 display icon, 28 transmitter LEDs, 25 Covert Mode icon, 28 D dark bulb icon, 28 deactivate Covert mode, 24 disable lights and sounds, 24 Display Backlight button, 23 display icons, 26-29 alert, 29 Battery Level, 27 Beep, 29 Connection, 27 Covert Mode, 28 Mute, 28 notification, 29 Record, 28 Signal Strength, 28 WGD00091 Revision F 37 Index Vibrate, 29 display, overview, 23, 26 dual microphone configuration, 31 DVR, connecting, 20, 34 E external mic jack, 26 I icons alert, 29 antenna, 27 bars, 28 Battery Level, 27 Beep, 29 Connection, 27 Covert Mode, 28 display, 26-29 microphone, 28 mode, 28 Mute, 28 notification, 29 Record, 28 Signal Strength, 28 status, 27 synchronized, 27 transmitting, 28 Vibrate, 29 ignition off, charging with, 31 J jack, external mic, 26 K key the mic, 22 L lapel mic jack, 26 LCD, 23 LEDs base, 19 transmitter, 24-25 light, display, 23 lightbulb icon, 28 lost connection base LEDs, 19 display icon, 27 transmitter LEDs, 25 M mic charging, 30 contacts, 25 does not sync with base, 36 overview, 21 status LEDs, 24-25 synchronizing with base, 29 mic jack, 26 microphone icon, 28 Mode button, 23 mode icons, 28 mounted, 16 multiple microphones, 31 Mute button, 22-23 Mute icon, 28 muted base LEDs, 19 display icon, 28 transmitter LEDs, 25 N no mic response, 36 no reception, 35 no synchronization, 36 noise, 35 normal usage, 16 base LEDs, 19 transmitter LEDs, 25 notification icons, 29 38 WGD00091 Revision F Index overview, 29 transmitter contacts, 25 transmitter LEDs, 24 T Talk button, 22 technical specifications, 10 transmitter charging, 30 contacts, 25 overview, 21 status LEDs, 24-25 synchronizing with base, 29 transmitting base LEDs, 19 display icon, 28 transmitter LEDs, 25 triggering a recording, 22 turned off base LEDs, 19 transmitter LEDs, 25 turning on/off, 25 two microphone configuration, 31 U using during shift, 16 V vehicle off, charging with, 31 Vibrate icon, 29 vibrate mode, 23 W warranty, 10-12 workflow, 16 notification mode, 23 O out of range base LEDs, 19 display icon, 27 transmitter LEDs, 25 P pairing, 29-30 poor reception, 35 Power switch, 25 R recommendations antenna, 34 DVR connection, 34 installation, 34 record button, 22 Record icon, 28 record stop, 22 recording, 22 base LEDs, 19 display icon, 28 transmitter LEDs, 25 S Signal Strength icon, 28 slide button, 22 specifications, 10 static, 35 status icons, 27 status LEDs base, 19 transmitter, 24-25 stopping a recording, 22 synchronized icon, 27 synchronizing base contacts, 21 base LEDs, 19 display icon, 27 WGD00091 Revision F 39 Index This page intentionally left blank. 40 WGD00091 Revision F
