Wireless DECT Communications
Available on the APX379 & APX377 headsets
The headset features a wireless DECT communication channel enabling full duplex
communication, like a phone call, to others on the same channel. The Sonetics
wireless DECT headsets will connect with standalone Sonetics wireless base stations
or a Sonetics IP-DECT wireless system. This DECT communication network gives the
user up to 1600ft line-of-sight to the wireless base. The standard further ensures
interference free and digitally encrypted communications amongst all parties.
Backwards Compatibility
The wireless headset is backwards compatible with the Sonetics first generation
wireless bases with minimal loss in functionality.
Dual Dome Antenna Design
Each dome has a separate DECT antenna using diversity switching to lock onto the
best signal. This allows the user to not worry about head position relative to the
wireless base and delivers the best possible connection at all times.
Listen Only Mode
The headset may be placed into a listen only mode of operation reducing the power
consumption considerably. This also allows many more headsets to be connected to
a base station simultaneously. Refer to the wireless base manual for details.
Radio PTT or Intercom Only Selection
The headset may be configured to transmit a radio transmit signal to radios
connected to the DECT Wireless Base Station and Intercom of the Sonetics DECT
wireless communication system. This allows the user to transmit over multiple
radios depending on the base stations and intercom configuration. Additionally, the
headset may be selected to not radio transmit. This is excellent for teams that need
some users who will use the radio transmit and others who do not.
Multiple Radio Control
Using the Sonetics Digital Intercom with multi-radio option, the base station may be
programmed to allow the headset to selectively transmit over up to four different
radios and four auxiliary inputs to the Sonetics Digital Intercom.
Multi-Channel System
Depending on the wireless DECT base station or IP-DECT system, the user may have
access to multiple channels. This allows large teams to have separate channels for
different activities while enabling the users to change channel and become one
communication team. Refer to the Wireless base station manual for configuration.
Out of Range Warning
The headset will notify the user via voice prompt when the DECT connection is low
and it appears to go out of range from the wireless base station.
Proximity Pairing
To enhance security, the base station will only pair to wireless DECT units in close
proximity. This adds another layer of protection for users.
Signal Strength Reporting
The headset may be placed into a signal strength mode allowing the user to map
out the signal strength to the wireless base the headset is connected to.
Wide Band Audio
The wireless DECT communications are transmitted in a high definition wide band
audio format. This allows greater intelligibility of the user and integration with voice
activated control systems. This feature is defeatable to allow the user to be in a
narrow band audio communication.
