Radio transmit is permanently disabled on this rugged, weatherproof wireless headset that features DECT7 wireless technology for improved sound quality in the apparatus and on the fire scene. Extended range and coverage let you communicate clearly with crew members up to 1,000 feet from the apparatus. Auto-On activates the headset on removal of the charging cable. An automatic noise gate provides set-and-forget ease of use for seamless transitions between high- and low-noise situations, and a new ergonomic design delivers enhanced comfort and wearability.

Refer to the WB505R manual for details.
dect7 dual dome antenna design Wireless DECT7 Dual Dome Antenna Design – Each dome has a separate DECT7 antenna using diversity switching to lock onto the best signal.
