Wireless Belt Pack BP5-10 5 Conductor with Radio Transmit Operation Manual
Introduction The BP5-10 is a highly reliable wireless communication module for first responder apparatus operator applications. The BP5-10 allows the operator to use any wired Firecom headset to communicate wirelessly to a base station mounted on the fire or emergency apparatus. It provides secure, digitally encoded, interference free communications. When operated as part of a wireless system, up to 40 headsets can be used interference free, in close vicinity to each other.
Proper Fit Firecom recommends that the belt pack be worn on the hip, using the enclosed beltcarried pouch. The user can then plug in a headset of his/her preference and convert it to a wireless communications headset. Notes: - Refer to the wired headset’s user manual for proper fit and use of the headset. - Refer to the Specifications section in this manual to determine whether a certain headset is compatible with the BP5-10 belt pack.
Out-of-Range Warning The BP5-10 wireless belt packs incorporate an out-of-range audible safety feature to warn the user against exceeding the coverage range of the belt pack. The headset connected to the belt pack will sound a 1 second cautionary beep every 10 seconds when the belt pack is at the fringes of the coverage range and before the belt pack goes completely out of range and looses its link to the base. The cautionary beep will stop if the user steps back within range from the base station.
Pairing Procedure 1. Press and hold the pairing button on the front panel of the base station for approximately 5-7 seconds until the yellow LED(s) on the front panel of the base station start flashing, indicating that the base station has entered pairing mode. Once the base station is placed in pairing mode, the user has approximately 15 seconds to place the belt pack in pairing mode. 2. Press and hold the PTT button while turning on power to the belt pack.
Reset In rare cases, resetting the belt pack may become necessary. Plug the charger plug into the charger jack. The system will reset. Both red and green LEDs will illuminate for approximately two seconds and then the belt pack will resume normal operation. NOTES: 1. In case the battery is deeply discharged, no LED indication will be possible until the battery is partly charged to an operable voltage level. 2.
