Belt-Pac Registration

Figure

. Wireless IQ

™ and ionIQ™ base stations

Each belt-pac must be registered for use with a specific base station. The base station thereby recognizes all
belt-pacs registered to it when their power is on, and will be able to tell the difference between them and other
electronic equipment operating on similar frequencies. A maximum of 15 belt-pacs can be registered. If one
is replaced, you must register the new one before you use it. When a belt-pac is replaced, the old one
remains in memory. Register all active belt-pacs the same way, one at a time.
NOTE: Belt-pacs must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station while being registered.

Wireless IQ™ base station

If your base station looks like this
see registration instructions below

For Wireless IQ™ Audio Systems, register each COMMUNICATOR® as follows:

NOTE: If the maximum number of 15 is exceeded, an “F” for Full will appear on the Communicator ID display.
You must clear all current registrations and re-register all active belt-pacs. See Figure 4. Open the base station
and press the CLEAR ALL REGISTRATION button and the RESET button at the same time. Continue holding
the CLEAR ALL REGISTRATION button after releasing the RESET button, until “c” appears on the display.
