Battery sled with batteries Having a fully charged (or new) battery in its battery compartment when operating the System 6001 base station with AC power can prevent interruption of communication during a power outage, as the base station will automatically switch to battery power.
BELT-PAC & ODYSSEY IQ HEADSET SETUP AND REGISTRATION The first time you operate the System 6001, you must register each Belt-pac and/or Odyssey IQ Headset for use with a specific base station. The base station will then recognize all registered Belt-pacs/Headsets when their power is on, and will know the difference between them and other electronic equipment operating on the same frequencies.

If registration is successfully completed: After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this Belt-pac for about 10 seconds. NOTE: ID numbers are assigned sequentially as 0 thru 9, A, b, C, d and E. The power lights on the Belt-pac, next to the Channel A1 button, will remain on steady green.

If the registration is successfully completed: After a delay of up to 15 seconds, the REGISTRATION STATUS display will show the ID number assigned to this 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 Headset will remain on steady green.
EQUIPMENT OPERATION BASE STATION OPERATION 4.1.1 Controls and Indicators POWER indicator light Lights red when power is on. Blinks every 8 – 10 seconds when the battery is running low.

4.2.4 COMMUNICATOR Battery Removal and Replacement ® COM6000BP Belt-pac Batteries — To change batteries: Battery-release ® If a battery is weak when the COMMUNICATOR power latch is turned on, a voice in the earpiece will say “Battery low.” If a battery becomes weak during operation, a voice in the earpiece will say “Change battery.”...
Belt-pac unit. See section 3.3.1. 2400MHz cordless telephone interference — If there is a 2400MHz cordless telephone nearby, interference may occur. However, since the System 6001 is a frequency-hopping system, this problem is unlikely. If it does occur, changing frequencies on the telephone may alleviate the problem.
