CellCom 10 beltpack usage time is dependent upon the batteries used. Some
batteries require more charge/discharge cycles than others to reach their rated
capacity.
Caution: Do not put battery packs containing alkaline batteries into a recharger, or
recharge them in the beltpack. Serious damage or injury could result.
BELTPACK TURN-ON SEQUENCE
After pressing the POWER button on the rear of the beltpack for approximately
three seconds, the top control panel LEDs will flash and the display will light.
The display will say “CellCom 10” and “Searching for Network.” It will briefly
say “Getting Roles,” and then will go to the main user screen.
The beltpack will always begin on page 1, which has the first two
communication routes assigned to the beltpack. When programming
communication routes for the users in the system, it is best to put the most
commonly used ones on this page.
BELTPACK TURN-OFF SEQUENCE
To turn off the beltpack, press and hold the POWER button on the rear of the
beltpack for about three seconds. The main screen will close, followed by a screen
that says “CellCom 10” and “Shutting Down.”
POWERING THE CELLCOM 10 BELTPACK
The supplied battery pack holds four AA-sized batteries. Standard AA alkaline
batteries will provide between 7 and 8 hours of typical use. The batteries
alternate in the battery case, with the spring on the negative end and the tab on
the positive end.
For best performance, use fresh alkaline batteries that have been properly stored
and kept away from excessive heat. As with all other battery-powered electronic
items, when the CellCom 10 beltpack is stored for extended periods of time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage from possible leakage of the alkaline cells.
WARNING : Make sure that CellCom 10 battery packs loaded with alkaline
batteries are not put into a battery charger, or that the internal beltpack charger is
used to attempt to charge them. Damage and possible injury will result.
Rechargeable AA-size NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries may be used with
the CellCom 10 beltpack. Select good quality batteries with high amperage
ratings for the best and longest performance. These batteries will last for many
charge cycles, and will power the beltpack for approximately 8 hours.
Note : CellCom 10 beltpack usage times are dependent upon the batteries used. Some
batteries require more charge/recharge cycles than others to reach their rated capacity.
The beltpack front-panel display has an icon that shows the battery condition. It
has five vertical lines to signify the remaining charge. When the icon has dropped
down to the last two lines, or if it drops quickly after being turned on after
previous use, it will be time in the next few minutes to recharge the batteries (if
