Pairing Procedure
1. Press and hold the pairing button on the front panel of the base station for
approximately 5-7 seconds until the yellow LED(s) on the front panel of the
base station start flashing, indicating that the base station has entered pairing
mode. Once the base station is placed in pairing mode, the user has
approximately 15 seconds to place the belt pack in pairing mode.
2. Press and hold the PTT button while turning on power to the belt pack. After
approximately 5 seconds, the green and red LEDs will start flashing in a
relatively fast alternating pattern. Release the PTT button.
3. Monitor the green and red LEDs on the top panel of the belt pack. After about
5-7 seconds, the alternating flashing pattern ends, the green LED will flash
rapidly for two seconds and then the green and red LEDs resume normal
operation (as stated in the section titled “LED Indicators”) to indicate that the
belt pack is paired and linked to the base station. The respective LINK LED on
the base station will illuminate steadily after flashing rapidly for two seconds to
indicate that a link to the belt pack has been established.
4. When pairing with a multi-unit base station all headsets and belt packs
previously paired with that device must be powered and connected to the base
during the pairing procedure, or those devices will lose their pairing. See the
Wireless Base Station manual for details on this procedure.
Charging
Ensure that the belt pack is fully charged prior to operating for the first time.
The BP5-10 belt pack has a 2.1mm panel mounted charger jack located on the
bottom panel. A charger cable assembly with a 2.1mm x 5.5mm plug is provided with
the belt pack. The unterminated end of the charger cable can be wired to nominal
12V (11-16V) from the vehicle. Plug the terminated end of the charger cable into the
belt pack charger jack (refer to the “LED Indicators” section for proper operation of
status indicators during battery charging.
NOTES:
1. Observe correct polarity when connecting the charger cable to12V from the
vehicle. Connect the white striped black wire to +12V and the solid black wire
to GND. This will result in a positive center terminal of the 2.1mm charger jack
as shown in the following illustration.
2. Firecom does not recommend operating the belt pack while the belt pack is
being charged. It is recommended that the belt pack be charged only when it’s
not being operated and with power turned off on the belt pack.
Firecom recommends charging the wireless belt pack on the vehicle by connecting to
the vehicle’s uninterruptible 12V supply (battery). The use of unregulated 12V
AC/DC wall adapters is not recommended. However, if an adapter must be used,
Sonetics provides a 12V 0.5A regulated wall adapter.
