INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
If two or more base stations are used, each one must be properly initialized according to the following
procedure, before performing any other setups. After initializing each base station, register each
Beltpac or WH200 Headset that will be used with that base, as instructed in section 4.
One base station must be designated as “primary” and all others must be designated as “secondary”.
You can have only one primary and up to 3 secondary base stations. Secondary base stations are
assigned numbers 1, 2, or 3.
• Label the base stations as “Primary,” “1,” “2” and “3.”
Start with every base station and Beltpac/Headset power off.
1. Set DIP Switches
Open each secondary base station and set
DIP switch #4 as follows.
• Using a T9 torque wrench, remove the
six screws from the front panel of each
secondary base station, as shown in
Figure 1. Lift the front panel carefully
and set it face down.
• Locate the DIP switch on the transceiver
circuit board inside the base station front
panel, as shown in Figure 2.
Set DIP switch #4 to the ON position.
Leave all others in the OFF position.
• Replace the front panel and screws on the secondary base stations.
2. Register Beltpacs/Headsets to Primary Base Station
• Turn the primary base station power on by pressing the PWR button.
• Register each Beltpac/Headset that will be used with the primary base station, as
instructed in section 4. Turn each Beltpac/Headset off after registering it.
• Leave the primary base station power on.

3. Initialize Secondary Base Stations
• Turn one secondary base station power on by pressing the PWR button. The ID display
will show a double bar, indicating the secondary base is ready to be initialized.
• Press the REG button on the primary base. The ID display will show a small “o.”
• Press the REG button on a secondary base to assign a number to it (the same number you
used to label the base). Pressing the button repeatedly causes it to cycle through the
numbers 1, 2, and 3. When the same number as the label on the base appears, stop
pressing and wait as the base initializes.
While the secondary base initializes, its ID display will continue showing its assigned number.
When initialization of the secondary base station is finished, the ID display will show one bar.
• Press the REG button on the primary base station. The ID display will go blank.
• Register Beltpacs/Headsets to the secondary base, as instructed in section 4. After
registration, turn off the secondary base and all its Beltpacs/Headsets.
Repeat the preceding steps for each secondary base station, using the label number you assigned
to each base. Only the primary base and the secondary base you are working with should have
power on during initialization. All other equipment should be off.
• After all secondary base stations are initialized and Beltpacs/Headsets are registered,
turn each base station power on.
• Press RESET on the primary base station and let it recover.
• Turn on the primary Beltpacs/Headsets and let them link.
• Press RESET on each secondary base station, one at a time, and let it initialize to the
primary, indicated by a single bar as shown in Figure 6.
• Turn on the Beltpacs/Headsets associated with one of the secondary bases. Do one
group at a time until they have all linked. Then do the next group.
All base station and Beltpac/Headset power should now be on, and they should be ready for use.

Proceed with normal system configuration, setting functions and levels as desired.
If it becomes necessary to replace a secondary base station, follow the instructions in section 3 to
initialize the new secondary with the same number as the old secondary. After initialization you will
have to register any Beltpacs/Headsets associated with the old secondary to the new secondary.
If it becomes necessary to replace a primary base, follow the instructions in sections 1, 2 and 3
completely. Before initialization of the secondary bases, clear the previous secondary
initialization as follows. For each secondary, press the CLR REG button and the RESET button
at the same time. Continue holding the CLR REG button after you release the RESET button,
until the clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the REGISTRATION STATUS display. Any
Beltpacs/Headsets associated with the old primary will have to be registered to the new primary
after secondary base initialization. All Beltpacs/Headsets associated with secondary base
stations also have to be registered again.
If the primary base is shut down more than 30 seconds before the secondary bases, all secondary
bases will drop their Beltpac/Headset connections and begin searching for the primary. If the
primary is not found in 30 seconds, all secondary bases will automatically revert to the primary
mode of operation and reconnect the Beltpacs/Headsets. At this point three bars will appear on the
secondary ID display, as shown in Figure 7. If the primary is turned back on, it will be necessary to
press RESET on all secondary bases to allow them to initialize to the primary again. It is therefore
important to have all bases connected to the same AC circuit to prevent this situation when the
system is shut down after hours and powered up again the next day.

4. Beltpac/Headset Registration
• Put the headset, of the Beltpac/Headset being registered,
on your head.
• Press the REG button on the front panel of the base station.
The REGISTRATION STATUS display on the base station
will show a small “o” for open, as shown in Figure 8.
If you wait too long, the base station will go out of the
registration mode and you will have to repeat this.
• Press and hold the ISO button on the Beltpac/Headset
while you press and release the PWR (power) button to turn
the unit on, then release the ISO button. This will cause the
Beltpac/Headset to enter the registration mode.
The power light(s) on the Beltpac/Headset will begin blinking
red, then will blink green two or three times and go off.
Wait! There may be a short delay.
If registration is successfully completed:
• A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac/Headset #, Version #, Begin
registration, Registration complete, …”
• After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID
number assigned to this Beltpac/Headset for about 10 seconds.
NOTE: ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E.

• The power light on the Beltpac/Headset, next to the IC button, will remain on steady green.
• Repeat the above steps for each Beltpac/Headset to be registered.
If registration failed:
• A voice message in the headset will say “Power on, Beltpac/Headset #, Version #, Begin
registration, …” Both power lights on the Beltpac/Headset will be blinking red, and there
may be a delay of up to 90 seconds before you hear “Registration failed.”
• Press the RESET button on the base station. When the REGISTRATION STATUS display
becomes blank, press the REG button on the base station and register the
Beltpac/Headset again. If registration fails again, call your dealer for assistance.
If you try to register more than 15 Beltpacs/Headsets :
• An Fwill appear on the REGISTRATION STATUS display on the base station, as shown in
Figure 9, and you will hear “Registration failed” in the headset.
• Clear all current registrations by pressing the CLR REG button and the RESET button at
the same time. Continue holding the CLR REG button after you release the RESET button,
until the clear code “c” (lower case) appears on the REGISTRATION STATUS display, as
shown in Figure 10.
• Register all active Beltpacs/Headsets, one at a time.
Previously registered Beltpacs/Headsets must be re-registered.
