Belt-Pac Registration
Each belt-pac must be registered for use with a specific base station. The base station thereby recognizes all
belt-pacs registered to it when their power is on, and will be able to tell the difference between them and other
electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies. A maximum of 15 belt-pacs can be registered. If one
is replaced, you must register the new one before you use it. When a belt-pac is replaced, the old one
remains in memory. Register all active belt-pacs the same way, one at a time.
NOTE: Belt-pacs must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station while being registered.
For Wireless IQ™ Audio Systems, register each COMMUNICATOR
®
as follows:
NOTE: If the maximum number of 15 is exceeded, an “F” for Full will appear on the Communicator ID display.
You must clear all current registrations and re-register all active belt-pacs. See Figure 4. Open the base station
and press the CLEAR ALL REGISTRATION button and the RESET button at the same time. Continue holding
the CLEAR ALL REGISTRATION button after releasing the RESET button, until “c” appears on the display.
Begin registration:
•
••
• Be certain all belt-pacs to be registered are turned off and the base station power is on. Other belt-pacs
can be on or off.
•
••
• Open the base station and locate the items shown in Figure 4.
If no belt-pacs are on, the status light will be blinking red. If any belt-pacs are on, the status light will
be on steady green.
•
••
• Press the START REGISTRATION button.
The Communicator ID display will show a small “o” for open, and the status light will be blinking green.
•
••
• Either press and hold the B button on the belt-pac while pressing and releasing the power button to turn
the belt-pac on, and then release the B button, or press the power button and hold it for approximately 10
seconds. This will cause the belt-pac to enter the registration mode.
The status light in the base station will be blinking green and the Communicator ID display will
continue to show a small “o” for open. The belt-pac power light will be blinking amber.
When the registration is successfully
completed:
•
••
• The green status light in the base station will be
on steady and the Communicator ID display will
show the ID number assigned to this belt-pac.
ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru
9, A, b, C, d and E.
•
••
• The power light on the belt-pac will remain
on steady green.
If registration failed:
•
••
• A message in the headset will say “Headset #, Battery Low/Half/Full, Registration …”
The power light will blink red and after a delay of up to 1.5 minutes you will hear “Registration failed.”
•
••
• Note the condition of the STATUS light in the base station. Press the RESET button. The STATUS light
may blink and change colors. When the STATUS light returns to its previous condition, press the START
REGISTRATION button and repeat the registration procedure.
If the registration fails again: In the USA call HME Customer Support at 1-800-848-4468.
Outside the USA, call your local HME representative for help.
