INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing this product. Clear-Com designed the 600
series of beltpacks to meet the needs of all beltpack users, from
beginners to experienced professionals. For advanced users, the 600
series provides the most advanced level of functioning available.
RS-600 SERIES BELTPACKS
All RS-600 series beltpacks offer the following features:
• Rugged, compact design
• Full compatibility with all existing Clear-Com party-line systems
• Four setup configurations that you can activate directly from the
beltpack
• Extra 2.5 mm cell-phone type headset jack
• Advanced setup options with V-Pack software
RS-601 BELTPACK
The RS-601 beltpack offers the following features:
• One intercom channel
• 3-pin female and male XLR connectors for ease of setup
• 4-pin male XLR to connect a headset
2 RS-601 BELTPACK
The RS-601 offers all the performance and durability of Clear-Com’s

RS-601 BELTPACK 3
QUICK START
To start using your beltpack immediately:
1. Connect the appropriate line cables (3-pin XLR) from an
active intercom line to the beltpack.
2. Turn down the beltpack’s incoming volume with the
volume-control knob.
3. Plug in a headset equipped with a dynamic microphone to
the beltpack’s main headset jack.
The headset jack is labeled on the back of the beltpack.
4. To talk on the intercom line, press and hold the talk button.
Speak into the microphone in your headset.
Note: If you tap the talk button twice in quick succession,
the talk button locks to the “on” setting (“latches”) for
hands-free use. Press the talk button again to unlatch it.
5. Adjust the sidetone and incoming volume levels as you and
others on the intercom line speak at the anticipated levels for
the application.
6. To send a call signal, press the button labeled “call.”

OPERATING YOUR BELTPACK
An RS-601 beltpack works with all previous versions of Clear-Com
party-line stations and beltpacks. It is the first single-channel
Clear-Com beltpack that is compatible with Clear-Com TW
beltpacks.
This means that you can wire several beltpacks together in a “daisy-
chain” or “home-run” configuration on a TW line that includes
RS-502/522 TW beltpacks as well as other RS-600 series TW
beltpacks. While the audio on the RS-601 will always be from pin 3 of
the XLR connector (channel B), it will still pass the channel A audio
through on Pin 2.
The RS-601 is not recommended for use with RTS-TW systems as
the frequency response curves and audio levels are different.
Clear-Com’s RS-603 series beltpacks are compatible with RTS-TW
systems.
