ALARM OPTIONS
Low Battery Alarm
The low-battery alarm has two settings: on and off. Using the scroll
keys, select the desired setting and then press the center ENTER key.
• When you select ON, you will hear a beep at intervals in your
headset to indicate that it is time to replace or recharge the
belpack batteries. This will occur when the battery level is
sufficiently low (approximately 40 minutes of remaining battery
life). The battery indicator will also flash.
• When you select OFF, you will not be warned of low battery level.
Low Signal Alarm
The low-signal alarm has two settings: on and off. Using the scroll
keys, select the desired setting and then press the center ENTER key.
• When you select ON, you will hear a beeping in the beltpack’s
headset when the beltpack is almost out of the range of the
antenna, and will soon lose connection with the system.
• When the beltpack’s signal-level icon is at the second-lowest
increment, you will hear one quick beep and two slightly longer
beeps at approximately one-second intervals in the headset. You
will hear the same beeps when you go completely out of range
and connection is lost with the antenna (and the base). These
beeps continue until you move into an area where the signal is
stronger.
• This setting may be especially useful when you are learning to
establish the coverage area for a particular location. Because the
signal level when the alarm is first activated is still strong enough
for conversations to happen (though possibly with occasional
audio dropouts), it may not be desirable to keep this alarm on
during normal operation of the system. This low signal alarm is
also useful for checking out the coverage in a location when first
setting up transceiver/antennas, for either a temporary or
permanent installation.
• When you select OFF, the low signal alarm does not operate.
