•
Registration “

” button
Use this button to register each Beltpac used with the DX100. See pages 7 and 8.
•
UN-LATCH
button
Use this button to unlatch all Beltpac transmitters. Users can configure their Beltpacs to “latch” on,
in order to talk and listen to each other. Base station operators can use the
UN-LATCH
button to stop
Beltpac conversations. Also, if a Beltpac user takes a Beltpac off and leaves it “latched on” in an unknown
location, sounds from the area where it is left are picked up by its microphone and transmitted to other
Beltpac users. This distraction can be stopped by pressing the
UN-LATCH
button on the base station.
•
Clear Registration “
CLR REG
” button
Use this button to clear Beltpac registrations when needed. See page 8.
Low Battery Indicator
When the DX100 base station battery power is low, repeating beeps will be heard in the Beltpac headset and the
POWER light on the base station will be blinking red. When this happens, replace the batteries in the base
station immediately with ones that are new or fully charged, as instructed on page 6.
NOTE:
Battery life varies with the type of batteries used. With the HME BAT850 (NimH) battery, up to 10
hours can be expected.
