Modes

Modes of operation
There are two basic modes of operation. Standard mode, or default MP3* player or
programming mode. On power up the user will hear two tones indicating the unit
has powered up correctly , and the green LED will fl ash periodically. The unit powers
up in standard mode or default MP3 player mode for the XSports 2401 only. The
indicator lights show the current mode the unit is in.
Standard Mode
When the unit is in Standard mode the green indicator will fl ash periodically. This
mode allows the user MP3 functionality of the Play / Pause, Advance / Forward, and
back function keys. These keys control the MP3 player , and allow the user manage
the sounds they are listening to.
Programming Mode
To enter programming mode, press the function button. Programming mode is
indicated by a fl ashing amber light. In this mode the user can store other users to
memory, and be accepted by other users into their memory.
The programming of users into your memory or “telephone book” is done in concert
with others when programming XSport units IDs into memory.
After pressing the function button (5), the unit immediately enters programming mode
indicated by a fl ashing amber light.
Default Mode
Default mode allows the person to listen to their sounds, accept incoming calls, and call
others, and disconnect from calls, all with a the control of a single button (PTT or remote
PTT).

Programming
6
The programming mode allows users to set up a virtual network to communicate
with peers and access long haul radio communication equipment, with a seemless
transition. It is the fi rst truly wireless communications network giving users real
wireless access to a range of communication gateways, without the need for
infrastructure.
The important thing to remember about programming, is that two units must be
programmed at the same time. The programming method allows users to ensure
they are connected to the correct person, before allocating that person to a memory
location.
Programming mode
The programming mode allows the user to store 3 caller ID’s from other units.
Storing a single unit
Programming is performed between two units.
Unit 1
Step 1 - Enter Programming mode by pressing the
function button - to search.
The amber light will fl ash quickly and a tone will
sound in the headset. Once the units have been
connected, then the user can either program the
other caller ID to memory by pressing the plus key ,
or disconnect from the call with a double click on
the PTT.
Step 2 - A single press of the plus button will store
the caller ID to the fi rst memory location.
The second unit, should at the same time as the fi rst unit, enter programming mode
by pressing and holding the function button for 1s. Similarly , the amber light will fl ash
on the second unit and a tone will sound in the headset when its in programming
mode.
Unit 2
p
If the user does not wish to accept the connection, they can simply disconnect by
clicking the push to transmit button twice.
Step 1 - Press the function button for 1s to enter
programming mode - to be discovered.
The amber light will fl ash and a tone will sound in
the headset.
Step 2 - When the user has connected to the caller,
they can choose to save the caller ID to a memory
location. Pressing the plus button once will store
the caller to the fi rst memory location.
Storing to different memory locations
A user may select where to store a caller ID by simply:
a) pressing once for the fi rst memory location
b) press twice for the second memory location
Alternatively if the other unit is not found then a
time - out tone will be heard.

Push-to-Transmit disconnect
The Push-to-Transmit button is designed to provide quick access to a preferred
user and equipment, where the user may toggle between long haul radio equipment
or a prefered user, or disconnect from a call.
Using the ptt button on the unit or an external ptt button the user can:
disconnect from any current call
connect to a stored user
connect to remote communications equipment
return the unit to MP3 mode
connect directly from MP3 mode to a preferred user

Notifi cation of Second Call Waiting
When a person is either listening to their sounds or on a call and someone is
attempting to connect to them, they will hear a beeping in the background. They
can stop the beeping by clicking the ptt twice, and continue talking, or disconnect
from their current call and then call the second call waiting.
To reject the call waiting - double click on the ptt - this will stop the beeping
To disconnect from the current call - double click on the ptt.

When the unit is off and on charge the red and green indicators show the state of
the battery condition.
When the unit is charging, the red will be solid.
When the unit has fully charged, the green light will blink.
When the unit is on and connected to the charger, the indicators indicate the state /
mode of the unit.
The user may charge their XSports via the supplied charge plug pack or the USB
supplied with the XSports 2401.

battery care
11
With care, you can maximize the battery life (i.e. the time your battery will run before
it must be recharged) and lifespan of your XSports’s battery.
Your New XSports
Be sure to fully charge your XSports when you plug it in for the fi rst time.
Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the
electrons in it moving occasionally. Phicom does not recommend leaving your
XSports plugged in all the time for charging.
An ideal use would be a person who uses their XSports in their activity, after which
plugs it in to charge. This keeps the battery activity fl owing.
Long Term Storage
If you don’t plan on using your XSports for more than six months, Phicom recommends
that you charge your unit and then store.
