the SCBA monitoring window. “Ghost” icons can be
removed by right clicking the icon (or double left clicking)
and selecting “remove person”.

Note:

Once a firefighter has been fully logged on to a

base station, the ICM TxR Unit can not be monitored by
another base station until the ICM TxR Unit has been
turned off and completely logged off of the current base
station.

Using Teams

Note:

As firefighters appear in the “holding bin” as their

SCBAs are turned on, they can be monitored most effec-
tively by creating teams and dragging the icons into the
teams. Firefighters can be monitored individually by click-
ing on the icon while they are in the “holding bin”. The
information for each highlighted firefighter will be dis-
played in the lower left frame of the screen.

Creating Teams

1. Click the NEW TEAM button at the top of the screen.

• A team window will appear in the column to the

right.

• As many teams as needed can be created.
• Teams will be named in succession, i.e. Team 1,

Team 2, Team 3, etc.

• Team order can be rearranged by RIGHT clicking

and dragging the team to the desired location.

Adding a Firefighter to a Team

Drag the icon from the “holding bin” to the appropriate
team.

Note:

To drag multiple firefighters into a team at once,

click and hold the left mouse button and draw a box
around the firefighters to be moved. Release the left
mouse button. Select any of the highlighted firefighters
with the left mouse button and drag them into the appro-
priate team.

Using Team ID Tags

Team ID tags can be used to assign permanent
team/truck assignment to a particular ICM TxR Unit. By
scanning a Team ID tag into an ICM TxR Unit, teams will
be created automatically when a firefighter pressurizes his
SCBA. In this case, when a firefighter pressurizes his
SCBA, the helmet icon associated with that firefighter will
automatically move from the “holding bin” to the appropri-
ate team and position assignment. For more information
on programming and using Team ID tags, refer to the
Using the ID Tag Writer Function section of this manual.
