WHAT IS WINGMAN?

WingMAN is an interface station that allows full duplex communication between AnchorMAN belt packs and unbal-
anced party-line intercom systems.
The WingMAN includes a transceiver that operates in a FDMA format which is compatible with AnchorMAN belt packs.  
An integrated interface circuit makes it possible to easily interface the transceiver with party-line intercom systems.
This allows users to easily switch communications between one of the four AnchorMAN groups and one of two party 
line groups.

ANTENNA PLACEMENT

In order to maximize system range/performance the WingMAN is designed with dual antennas.  Generally, the greater 
the antenna separation the better WingMAN will perform.  After connecting both antennas adjust their positions until 
Strong signal quality is indicated by the ANTENNA LED.

The ANTENNA LED shows range/signal quality based on antenna separation: 

RED = Weak Signal / Green = Strong Signal

For increased range and better signal quality mount antennas using the optional Antenna Mounting Kit (includes ca-
bles & mounting hardware) to achieve maximum separation.  We recommend a minimum of 10’ between antennas .

WIRELESS TELEX (BTR-700) USERS

Follow these Setup Instructions to connect the WingMAN to a BTR-700 Telex wireless base station:

1.  Connect your BTR-700 (2-wire 3 pin XLR) output to the 3-pin XLR back panel jack “INTERFACE”.
2.  Set WingMAN WIRED CHANNEL SWITCH to CH B.
3.  Level adjustment on BTR-700 using the IN knob on the BTR-700 front panel
4.  Set WIRED & WIRELESS VOLUME  on WingMAN to maximum levels.
