Enable or Disable Smart Start
The HS-200 horn start can detect a connection from the timer console. If the horn start is
connected to an OmniSport 2000 timing console, the Smart Start will sense the timer via
the dual banana plug extension cable plugged into the START or N/C input.
When activated as described below, the Smart Start feature will allow normal use of the
horn start microphone but will not allow a Start tone and Strobe activation unless the HS-
200 is connected to the timing console and the console is ready for the next race. Should
the timing console not have a ready status feature, then the Smart Start will function
based on cable connection only.
If a timing console is ready and properly connected, the READY/RECALL LED will be
on and not ashing. It will take a couple of seconds to initialize. If no timing console is
present and/or the cable connecting the HS-200 and console is damaged, unplugged,
or plugged in backwards (black into red), the READY/RECALL LED will be OFF.
To enable or disable Smart Start:
1� Plug the handheld microphone directly into the MIC jack on the HS-200 horn start.
2� To access the setup mode, turn the power switch to ON. Immediately after the
BATTERY FULL and BATTERY LOW LEDs ash, press the PUSH TO TALK lever ve times.
3� The three lower LED indicators on the horn start will ash. The READY/RECALL LED will
either be ON or OFF.
4� To change the setting, press the PUSH TO TALK button once. The READY/RECALL LED
will change to ON or OFF.
• If the READY/RECALL LED is ON, the Smart Start is activated.
• If the READY/RECALL LED is OFF, the Smart Start is deactivated (default).
5� To save the current setting, press and hold the PUSH TO TALK button while pressing the
top button twice. The LEDs should stop ashing. The HS-200 is now congured with the
Smart Start setting.
