Features and Functions

Belt Clips

The wire belt clip may be removed by pulling the ends 

out of the holes in the sides of the case. Be sure to have 

a firm grip to avoid scratching the surface of the housing.
An optional spring-loaded, hinged belt clip (model num-

ber BCSLEBN) is also available. This clip is attached by 

removing the plastic hole cap on the back of the housing 

and mounting the clip with the supplied screw.

IR (infrared) Port

The IR port is available on the top of the transmitter for 

quick setup using a receiver with this function available. 

IR Sync will transfer the settings for frequency from the 

receiver to the transmitter.

When the transmitter is set to MUTE, the -10 Modu-

lation Indicators LED will glow solid red. Otherwise, 

the  -10 and -20 Modulation Indicators LED will glow 

light green or red depending on modulation levels. 

 

The Key verification LED will glow solid blue if the 

key is set to Universal or if an encryption key is 

stored in the unit when set to Standard, Shared or 

Volatile key policies. The blue LED will blink when in 

these key modes and no key is stored.
