The charging process should last approximately two to four hours.
5.2 Registration Instructions
For the Intelli-Connect to work with an H200 Wireless System, it must first be registered with the H200
Wireless Control-Unit. Registration of the Intelli-Connect Earpiece with the H200 Wireless Control-Unit
should only have to be done once. Once registered, the Earpiece and Control-Unit should always recognize
each other provided they are both turned-on and within 3 meters (10 feet) of one another.
Note: When registering the Earpiece and Control Unit, make certain that there are no other H200 Wireless
systems within 3 meters (10 feet) of the components being registered.
To register the Intelli-Connect:
1. Verify that both the Intelli-Connect Earpiece and the H200 Wireless Control-Unit are turned off.
2. Set the H200 Wireless Control-Unit into registration mode. Simultaneously press and hold the trigger
button and the minus button on the Control-Unit until the Control-Unit beeps. Refer to the H200 Wireless
User’s Guide for more detailed instructions.
