fingertips, not your fingernails, to press the buttons.
Power On/Off
Power On Press and release the power button.
If using an ionIQ® Belt-pac ─ A voice message in the headset will
say “belt-pac #, battery full/half/low” and the red power lights next
to the A1 and A2 buttons on the belt-pac will blink. After a short
time, the A2 light will go off and the A1 light will change to green. A
voice message will then say “Lane 1” (Group 1). The green light
indicates the unit is ready to use. A green light next to A1 indicates
ready for Group 1 and a green light next to A2 indicates ready for
Group 2.
If using an ionAIO Headset ─ A voice message in the headset will
say “headset #, battery full/half/low” and both the power light and
the transmit light will flash red. After a short time, the power light
will change to steady green for Group 1 and the transmit light will go
off. A voice message in the earpiece will then say “Lane 1 (or 2).”
Power Off — Press and hold the PWR button for about two seconds.
A voice message in the earpiece will say “belt-pac off” or “headset off,”
and the power light will go off.
Volume Up/Down

button. Each time you press the button you will hear a higher pitch
beep in the earpiece as the volume increases. When you reach
maximum volume, you will hear a high-pitched double beep. If you
press and hold the volume-up ▲ button, you will hear repeating
beeps, increasing in pitch until the volume reaches maximum.
Then you will hear high-pitched double beeps repeating until you
release the volume-up ▲ button.
Volume-Down Adjustment — Press and release the volume-down
▼ button. Each time you press the button you will hear a lower
pitch beep in the earpiece as the volume decreases. When you reach
minimum volume, you will hear a low-pitched double beep. If you
press and hold the volume-down ▼ button, you will hear repeating
beeps, decreasing in pitch until the volume reaches minimum. Then
you will hear low-pitched double beeps repeating until you release the
volume-down ▼ button.

NOTE:
Headsets/Belt-pacs must be
within 6 feet (1.83 meters)
of the base station while
being registered.
NOTE:
All registered headsets/
belt-pacs must be turned
on, or they will be
unregistered when you
clear inactive headsets.
If you clear all registrations,
you must re-register all
headsets/belt-pacs.
NOTE:
You will be given a
warning and allowed to
quit or continue before
registrations are cleared.
Headset/Belt-Pac Registration
During installation of the ion|IQ®NDT, each headset/belt-pac was
registered for use with the base station. The base station
recognizes all headsets/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 headsets/belt-pacs can be registered. If one is
replaced, you must register the new one before you use it. When
a headset/belt-pac is replaced, the old one remains in memory.
If the maximum number of 15 (in memory) is exceeded, the base
station HEADSET REGISTRATION display will tell you that 0 more
can be registered. If this happens, you may either clear all inactive
headsets/belt-pacs (not currently turned on) or clear all registered
headsets/belt-pacs. If you clear all inactive headsets/belt-pacs,
you can initiate the new registration. Each headset/belt-pac is
registered the same way, one at a time.
Register each headset/belt-pac as follows:
Be certain all headsets/belt-pacs to be registered are turned off
and the base station power is on. Others can be on or off.
On the base station MESSAGE STATUS display, press the Menu
button.
On the MAIN MENU, press the Register headsets button.
On the HEADSET REGISTRATION display, if you press the Clear
inactive button, you will unregister only those headsets/beltpacs that are turned off.
If you press the Clear all button, you will unregister all
headsets/belt-pacs that are registered to the base station, and
the base station will automatically restart.

To register headsets/belt-pacs, press the Register headsets
button on the HEADSET REGISTRATION display.
On the TO REGISTER HEADSETS display, follow the
instructions in the box.
If you are registering only one headset/belt-pac, press the Register
single button on the TO REGISTER HEADSETS display.
If you are registering more than one headset/belt-pac, press the
Register multi button on the TO REGISTER HEADSETS display,
and continue registering the remaining ones, one at a time.
When each registration is successfully completed:
The ID number assigned to this headset/belt-pac will be shown.
ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, B, C, D and E.
When you have finished registering headsets/belt-pacs, press the
Back button to exit the registration mode. You can continue
pressing the Back button repeatedly until you return to the MAIN
MENU or MESSAGE STATUS display.
The power light on the headset/belt-pac will remain on steady
green.
If you have any problems registering headsets/belt-pacs:
In the USA, call HME Customer Support at 1-800-848-4468.
Outside the USA, call your local HME representative for assistance.

Battery Charger
Up to four batteries can be charged in the charger at the same time.
Charging time is approximately 2.5 hours. The battery status lights
next to each charging port are explained below. Up to six fully
charged batteries can be stored in the battery storage ports.
Procedure:
Insert batteries in the charging ports for charging. The batteries can
only go into the charging ports one way. If they do not go in easily,
turn them around. DO NOT force them. Push each battery down
into a port until it snaps in place, to be sure it makes full contact.
Battery Status Lights:
A yellow light stays on steady next to each charging port while the
port is empty.
Insert a battery in one of the four charging ports until it clicks
in place.
A red light will stay on next to a battery while it is charging.
A green light will go on next to a battery when it is fully charged.
If a yellow light is on next to a battery in a charging port, it
means the charge failed. If this happens: (1) Be sure the battery is
pushed all the way into the port until it snaps into place to make
contact. (2) Try charging in a different port. If it charges this time,
the first charging port may be defective. If the battery does not
charge in the second port, replace it with another battery.
Store up to four fully charged batteries in the storage ports.
