rechargeable ones are being used) or replace them. The beltpack will turn off by
itself at low battery levels.
Within the menu structure of the beltpack, a low-battery alarm is available and
may be set. When activated and when the battery level is sufficiently low
(approximately 20 minutes of remaining battery life) the headset user will hear a
beep at intervals to indicate that the batteries must be replaced or recharged soon.
This setting is available under Alarm Options.
The CellCom 10 beltpack features an internal battery charger circuit, with
intelligent circuitry to prevent overcharging. It is powered via the pin connector
on the bottom of the beltpack, using the supplied universal power supply. A
thermistor (temperature-sensing device) measures the change in temperature of
the battery when charging, letting the circuit know when to cease charging the
batteries.
Spare clips of four batteries are available by contacting the Sales Department.
REGISTERING BELTPACKS WITH THE BASE STATION
The PC-to-Beltpack serial cable is used to register beltpacks with the base station.
It can also be used to upgrade the firmware of the beltpacks. A PC software
utility program called CellCom 10 Toolkit is used in conjunction with this cable
to register the beltpacks.
For instructions on registering beltpacks with the base station, and for upgrading
the firmware, see the
CellCom 10 Toolkit User Guide.
The cable consists of a female 9-pin D type connector (PC connection) and a 3.5
mm (1.8-inch) stereo jack plug (beltpack connection). Care must be taken to
select a jack plug that fits completely through the plastic surround of the
connector at the bottom of the beltpack.
The data connections between the D connector and the stereo jack plug are as
follows: pin 2 to tip, pin 3 to ring, and pin 5 to sleeve. Pins 1,4,6 and 8 on the
PC connector are shorted together, as with the PC to CEL-BASE cable.
REMOVING REGISTERED BELTPACKS FROM THE BASE STATION
Beltpacks can be removed from the base station and new ones substituted with
the CellCom 10 Toolkit program. Refer to the
CellCom 10 Toolkit User Guide for
more information.
