o The FS II Base station (see below)
o A previously registered beltpack
o The Freespeak Configuration Editor (10.3 Registering beltpacks using the
over the air (OTA) facility.)
o The Eclipse EHX software. See the Eclipse HX Sofware Configuration User
Guide.
When registering beltpacks OTA the basic steps are the same in each context, though the
detail is slightly different in each case.
1) The registration process must be enabled.
2) The beltpack must be registered over the air (a DECT connection must be opened
between the beltpack and the antenna).
3) The beltpack registration details must be added to the software configuration.
3.4.1 Over the air (OTA) registration of a beltpack from the Base station
Beltpack registration mode can be registered OTA from the Base station.
1) From the Base station menu go to MAIN MENU ->SYSTEM->REG->START using
the setup/enter rotary encoder on the front panel of the Base station.

This enables registration mode. Enable registration mode has a two minute inactive
time-out. This is so that several beltpacks can be registered sequentially without the
user having to re-enable registration mode. It also prevents unauthorised users from
registering beltpacks.
2) On the beltpack to be registered, hold the menu key for two seconds to enter MENU
options. Scroll to SYSTEM CONNECT using the rotary controllers and select it using
key D. In menu mode the D key on the beltpack operates as SELECT and the C key
exits the menu level and cancels the selection.
Note: On a new system there will be no previous connections at this point.
However, if the beltpack is currently connected to an active system, a
confirmation screen will appear. Select Yes to connect to a new system or
No to remain connected to the current system.
3) Available systems, and previously registered systems, will be visible on the beltpack
menu screen.
