6.3 Saving changes
The changes are saved and applied automatically when changes are made to the unit’s
programming. Five seconds after the last time the setup/enter encoder was turned or pressed,
the front-panel display flashes to indicate that the changes are being saved and applied.
6.4 Changing beltpack labels
The first step in creating an FS II system is to create individual names (“labels”) for the
wireless beltpacks and for the wired devices connected to the Base station. Use individual
labels for building “point-to-point” communication routes.
6.4.1 To change a beltpack label
1) From the MAIN menu on the Base station’s front panel display, scroll to and select
BELTPACKS, as shown in Figure 6-1 From the MAIN menu, select BELTPACKS.
Figure 6-1 From the MAIN menu, select BELTPACKS
The AVAILABLE BELTPACKS menu appears, as shown in Figure 6-2 Available beltpacks
menu below. The first page shows the first five beltpack labels.
Figure 6-2 Available beltpacks menu
• The beltpacks’ generic labels BPK01 through BPK05 appear on the upper row, while
the labels given to the beltpacks appear just under the generic labels. At first both
upper and lower labels will have the same generic designations.
• To get to the second, third and fourth pages of beltpacks, scroll all the way to the
right of the screen, and then continue to scroll. The second, third and fourth pages
will be displayed showing beltpacks 6 - 10, 11 - 15 and 16 - 20 (BPK06 - BPK10,
BPK11 - BPK15, BPK16 - BPK20).
2) Scroll to and select the desired beltpack.
The next menu that appears gives the options for programming the selected beltpack, as
shown in Figure 6-3 First beltpack programming options menu.
