Wireless DECT7 Communications
Available on the APX379 & APX377 headsets
The Sonetics Wireless DECT7 Headsets enable full duplex, conference-call-like
communications to others on the same channel. The Headsets will connect to stand
alone Sonetics Wireless Base Stations or Sonetics IP-DECT7 wireless systems. A
DECT7 network gives up to 1600ft of range (line of sight) from its wireless base with
interference free, digitally encrypted communications.
Backwards Compatibility
Sonetics Wireless Headsets are backwards compatible with Sonetics first generation
wireless DECT, and DECT6 Wireless Base Stations with minimal loss in functionality.
Broadcast Mode
The Headset may be paired into a listen only mode of operation, reducing power
consumption considerably. This also allows many more headsets to be connected to
a Wireless Base Station simultaneously. Pressing the Radio PTT button allows the
headset to momentarily talk on any available slot. A tone will let the user know
when they can talk. After talking, there will be a slight delay when other users
cannot be heard. Refer to the Wireless Base Station manual for details.
Dual Dome Antenna Design
Each dome has a separate DECT7 antenna using diversity switching to lock onto the
best signal. The user never needs to worry about head position relative to the
wireless base. The best possible connection is delivered at all times.
Radio PTT or Intercom Only Selection
The Headset may be configured to send a transmit signal to radios connected via a
DECT7 Wireless Base Station or Intercom. The user can transmit over multiple
radios depending on the configuration.
Multi-Channel System
Depending on the wireless DECT7 Wireless Base Station or IP-DECT7 system, the
user may have access to multiple channels. This allows large teams to have separate
channels for different activities and enables users to change channels and become
one communication team. Refer to the Wireless Base Station manual for
configuration details.
Out of Range Warning
The user is notified when DECT7 signal is weak, or when it goes out of range.
Proximity Pairing
To enhance security, the Wireless Base Station will only pair to wireless DECT7 units
in close proximity. This adds another layer of protection for users.
Signal Strength Reporting
The Headset may be placed into a field diagnostic mode to detect signal strength at
The Headset. This can be used to optimize placement of Comhubs or Base Stations.
Wide Band Audio
Wireless DECT7 communications are transmitted in a high definition wide band
audio format. This gives better sound quality, greater intelligibility, and improves
with voice activated control systems. The Headset can also be used in narrow band
if necessary.
