Headset Registration

Each ODYSSEY IQ Headset must be registered for use with a specific base station. The base station thereby
recognizes all headsets 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 headsets can be
registered. If one is replaced, you must register the new one before you use it. When a headset is replaced, the
old one remains in memory. If the maximum number of 15 is exceeded, you must clear all current registrations
and re-register all active headsets. To clear all current registrations, open the base station and press the CLEAR
ALL REGISTRATION button and the RESET button at the same time. Refer to Figure 4. Continue holding the
CLEAR ALL REGISTRATION button after releasing the RESET button, until the clear code “c” (lower case)
appears on the Communicator ID display. Register all active ODYSSEY IQs the same way, one at a time.
NOTE: Headsets must be within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the base station while being registered.
