7.3 Using the beltpack
7.3.1 Registering the beltpack
Before you can use a beltpack, you must first register it with the FreeSpeak II
system. For more information, see 3.4 Registering beltpacks.
7.3.2 Charging the beltpack
The beltpack batteries are located inside the beltpack battery compartment. The
beltpack can use a Clear-Com rechargeable Li-Ion battery or AA batteries. A
dedicated battery charger can charge up to five batteries simultaneously.
Note: You can also recharge batteries by using the supplied USB charger. Do not use
any other USB charger.
Caution: Only use the battery charger with the
supplied rechargeable batteries. If you use the
charger with any other batteries, serious damage
or injury could result.
To recharge the beltpack battery:
1) Insert either the beltpack containing the battery, or the battery itself into
one of the recharging bays on the battery charger. A red LED indicates
that the battery is recharging.
If you are recharging the battery while it is still in the beltpack battery
compartment, an illuminated beltpack key (Talk key A) indicates the
charging status. The beltpack charging sequence depends on whether you
insert a powered on unpowered beltpack into the charger. The table below
shows the charging status conditions.

Note: If a beltpack is powered on when placed in the charger, on
removal the RF component is re-enabled and the beltpack
attempts to reconnect to its previous connection.
Note: If a beltpack is powered off when placed in the charger, on
removal it will power off.
