when pressed firmly. Use your fingertips, not your fingernails, to
press the buttons.
Power On/Off
•
Power On –
Press and release the
PWR
(power) button.
A voice message in the earpiece will say “power on,” and the
red lights at the corners of the
IC
and
ISO
buttons will go on.
After a short time, one light will go off and the other will change
to green, indicating the Beltpac is ready for use.
The
REGISTRATION STATUS
indicator on the base station will
momentarily indicate the ID of the Beltpac.

Power Off –
Press and hold the
PWR
button for approximately two seconds.
A voice message in the earpiece will say “power off,” and the green light will go off.
NOTE:
While a Beltpac is transmitting, the appropriate green light will be flashing, depending on whether the
IC
or
ISO
mode is active. If a Beltpac is ready, but not transmitting, the green light will be on steady.
