3. Charging the COM430BP Batteries
When a good battery is in the COMMUNICATOR transceiver and the power
®
is on, the yellow light on top of the unit will be lit. When the HS30 Headset
also has a good battery in it, and is on, the light on the belt-pac transceiver
unit will be red. This light indicates the power is on, and that there is a link
between the headset and belt-pac transceivers. It does not indicate how
much power is left in the batteries.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, turn Communicator OFF before
removing or installing batteries.
Installing and Removing COM430BP Batteries:
As a belt-pac transceiver battery weakens during routine use, you will hear
A repeating beep in the earpiece, indicating the battery needs to be
replaced. Typical Communicator battery life with normal use is 8 to 9 hours.
Install a fully charged battery in the battery compartment with the arrow on
the battery pointing outward, as shown in Figure 24. Slide it into the tracks
on both sides of the compartment until its catch clicks securely in place.
To remove the battery from a COM430BP belt-pac transceiver, slide the
battery latch open and push the battery in the direction of the large arrow
on the battery as shown in Figure 25.
