FreeSpeak II™ wireless beltpack

A FreeSpeak II wireless beltpack gives you simultaneous access to up to five channels of talk/listen
communication, with the ability to switch among them as desired. It communicates with the following FS II
components:

For more information about the system, see the FreeSpeak II User Guide.

Start

• The Base station (FSII-BASE) that routes communication to and from the beltpacks and other audio
devices.

• Transceiver/Antennas (FSII-TCVR-19, FSII-TCVR-24) that provide custom coverage zones in which the
beltpacks operate.

• Antenna splitters (PD2203) that run up to 5 separate transceiver/antennas.

Charging the beltpack

Use your thumb to slide open the battery latch, and
insert the battery into the battery compartment with
the battery terminals facing inwards. The beltpack
can use a rechargeable Li-Ion battery or three AA
batteries. A dedicated drop-in battery charger can
charge up to five Li-Ion batteries simultaneously.
You can also insert the beltpack containing the
battery onto the charger.

You can also recharge batteries by using the
supplied USB cable.

Using the Beltpack

Ensure the beltpack has a charged battery and press and hold the recessed power button for three seconds
to switch it on. If you are using the beltpack with a FreeSpeak II Base station, the system has a default audio
set-up so the system can simply be wired and powered before basic use. The default set-up has two partyline
(conference) audio channels (A and B). Each channel talks to:

• All the beltpacks on that channel

• The head set on the Base station.

To turn the beltpack off, press and hold the power button for three seconds.
To customize an audio channel configuration, please refer to the FreeSpeak II User Guide.
