BELT PACK
1. POWER: Insert the battery pack into the Belt Pack so contacts meet, and secure the clip so
the battery pack cannot slide off. If using AA battery pack (BP/AA) insert AA batteries into
the provided battery sled. Ensure cover has snapped into place.
NOTE: Rechargeable battery packs (BP-L) are recommended for optimal long-term use. AA
batteries should be used as backup. Avoid shorting battery contacts. Do not place batteries in
proximity to loose change, keys or other metals that may cause an inadvertent short.
2. ANTENNAS:
Connect the supplied antennas to ports on back of Base Station. For proper
performance attach the VHF (Lavender Stripes) whip antenna to RX and the UHF (Green
Stripes) whip antenna to TX 1+2.
3. CONNECT HEADSET: Insert the headset connectors into the Belt Packs until they snap into
place.
NOTE: The UV-1G belt pack uses the headset cord as the counterpoise for its internal VHF
transmit antenna system, which is designed for use with non-coiled cord sets. The use of
coiled headset cords can cause unwanted audio noises as well as reduced belt pack transmit
range and are not recommended.
4. POWERING ON/OFF: Press and hold the Power/Menu button located on the side of the Belt
Pack to power on or off the Belt Pack. The display will turn on or off accordingly.
5. TX & RX FREQUENCIES: Program the transmitter and receiver frequencies as desired.
See Belt Pack Operation section or PC Application for information on how to program
frequencies from the Belt Pack itself.
NOTE: the default for Rx1 is 497.975MHz, Rx2 is 570.025MHz, and TX is 177.700MHz. These
values will work with the Base Station defaults for one Belt Pack (Belt Pack #1). The other Belt
Packs will need their frequencies changed from the defaults.
