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).

* The MP3 player mode is only available in the 2401 models onwards.

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.

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.

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
c) press and hold for the remote radio or communications equipment

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

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.

Programming

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

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.

battery care

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.
