Follow instructions onscreen.ID TagThe ID Tag (P/N10058545) is not provided as a part of theICM Tx Reader / ID Tag Writer Kit. The purpose of the ID Tag is to associate a user ID orjump seat location with the ICM Tx Unit. Once the ICMTx Unit has read the ID data from a tag, that ID will remainassociated with the ICM Tx Unit until another ID Tag hasbeen read or enough time has elapsed. Prior to pressurization ofthe SCBA and duringinspection, the user can“tag in” by depressing andholding the top mode but-ton (green) until the word“DATA” appears in the dis-play. While “data” is dis-played, position the ID tagas shown in the picturebelow.The ICM will soundasingle beep confirmingthat the ID data has been read. Correct ID Tag orientation. The ID Tag has a space for the user to place a label inwhich the ID information can be written on the outside ofthe ID Tag for easy identification. This space is locatedon the side of the ID Tag opposite the approval label. Tomaintain the ID Tag’sIntrinsic Safety Approval, anylabel that the user attaches to the ID tag must be lessthan 4 squarecentimeters in total area.

Quickly align ICM with ICM Tx Reader/ ID Tag Writeras shown on the label. 3. Click “read settings”. (If the “read settings” buttonappears grey and inactive, be sure that the ICM TxReader / ID Tag Writer is properly connected and rec-ognized by the computer)4. The data should appear on the screen within a fewseconds. An amber LED will light on the ICM TxReader/ ID Tag Writer while information is being trans-ferred from the ICM. Changing ICM settings1. The instrument time and date can be reset or editedby entering the desired date in time in the fieldslabeled “Date” and “Time”. Note: By default, the ICM Tx Unit internal clock is set toEastern Standard Time.
