The radio has a uniquely designed headset that can be quickly and easily mounted onto a variety of open and closed-faced helmets, or worn as a standard headset. Communications between the 49-HX and other 49 MHz models is possible - provided each is equipped with the same channel/ frequency. Maxons 49-HX provides you the choice of hands- free automatic transmitting or manual push-to-talk operation. With the use of an optional 49-HXH passenger headset, two-way intercom communica- tions can occur between driver and passenger. The 49-HX provides hundreds of uses - in recreational (motorcycling, biking, boating, camping, hunting), and business situations (ware- housing, building maintenance, inventory control, security, etc.). Please take a few minutes to become familiar with the features and operating instructions of your Maxon 49-HX hands-free communicator. 2 PACKAGE CONTENTS The Maxon 49-HX comes complete with belt clip, helmet adaptable headset with adjustable boom mic and whip antenna, hook and loop fastening material and Owners Manual.

Maxon DV-7510 (non montr) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1)Remove the battery compartment door by pulling the door tab towards you. Install three fresh AA batteries, noting the polarity diagram embossed in the battery compartment. For continuous, heavy-duty use, alkaline batteries are recommended. NOTE: Rechargeable ni-cad batteries can be used in the 49-HX. To recharge them while installed in the unit, Maxons DV-7510 optional AC/DC wall charger must be used. Average charging time is 12-16 hours. CAUTION: Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon zinc batteries - this could result in an explosion, or other damage to the unit. 8 2)Using the belt clip, affix the unit to your belt or another convenient location. Put the headset on, extend the antenna and adjust to a comfortable fit. Keep the microphone ele- ment within 1 of your mouth. NOTE: If you choose to adapt the 49-HX headset for helmet use, refer to the helmet installation instructions in this manual. 3)Turn the power on and adjust the volume to a desired listening level. 4)Select the desired channel using the channel selector switch. 5)If you want to communicate radio to radio, set the intercom/TX switch to TX. If you choose to utilize the Maxon 49-HXH passenger headset (sold separately), plug in the passenger headset and set the intercom/TX switch to the intercom position. 6)Position the VOX/P-T-T thumbwheel control to either the VOX position (for hands-free, voice activated transmissions) or the P-T-T position (for manual push-to-talk transmissions). When using the VOX mode, adjust the sensitivity setting to suit your surroundings and needs. While looking at the 9 front of the unit, move the thumbwheel clockwise for a high setting, or counter-clockwise to a low setting. A low setting requires you to speak more loudly to activate the transmitter and should be used when background noise levels are high. A higher setting allows you to speak in a softer voice and should be used when lower background noise is present. NOTE: Very high noise levels may cause the unit to transmit continuously in the VOX mode. When very high background noise levels are present, the P-T-T mode may be the only method to avoid this problem. The Maxon 49-HX will not receive a transmission while you are transmitting. Wait until an incoming message is completed before transmitting. If the unit appears to malfunction, or has constant static present, try replacing the batteries, even if the “BATT LOW” LED has not illuminated. USING THE INTERCOM MODE 1)When using the units intercom, follow steps 1 3 in the operating instructions. 10 2)Set the intercom/TX switch to the intercom position. 3)Plug in the optional Maxon 49-HXH passen- ger headset (sold separately) into the headset jack on the top of the unit. 4)Position the VOX/P-T-T thumbwheel control as directed in operating instructions. NOTE: The 49-HXH passenger headset will only communicate with the main unit headset. However it can monitor all other unit to unit conversations, but will not transmit. (FCC Regula- tions). HELMET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Both the headband and earpiece of the 49-HX headset can be detached from the antenna/boom microphone assembly. Hook-and-loop fastening material is included with your 49-HX to enable attaching the antenna/boom microphone assembly to the exterior of the helmet and for attaching the earpiece to the interior. 11 To remove the headband: Release the whip antenna from the retaining hook. Hold down the headband release tab (A) and gently slide the headband out of the antenna/earpiece housing assembly. (Figure 1) To remove the earpiece: Gently pull the earpiece away from the antenna housing assembly. (Figure 2). Peel the adhesive backing from the 2x 4 piece of hook-and-loop fastening material. Apply the material to the outside surface of the helmet, positioning it to allow the antenna to be in a vertical position and the boom microphone to be about 1 from your mouth when wearing the helmet. 12 (A) Mount the earpiece inside the helmet, positioning it so that it will be next to your ear when wearing the helmet. A 2 x 2 piece of hook-and-loop fastening material is supplied for this mounting. NOTE: Some helmets have recesses for inserting an earpiece, or have pads which can be removed to provide space to mount the earpiece. INSTALLING THE REMOTE P-T-T The radios remote push-to-talk button has been designed to fit the handlebar of a motorcycle, bicycle, snowmobile, etc. A mounting strap with hook-and-loop fastening material has been provided with your 49-HX. To use the remote P-T-T: Plug into the REM jack on your transceiver and set the VOX/P-T-T control dial to the P-T-T position (counter- clockwise, as far as it will go). 13 WARRANTY SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS 1)Refer to the Operating Instructions section of this Owners Manual for adjustments that may be applicable to correct your problem. 2)If the above mentioned procedure does not correct the problem you are experiencing with your unit, return the unit (with proof of purchase) to the place of purchase, or call Maxons Customer Service Department for assistance.
