  • Page 10: Use An Ac Source To Power The Icri

    Use an AC source to power the ICRI. This power supply consists of two parts: the three-prong AC power cable and an AC to DC converter with an interconnect cable. Note: The AC supply must not be used where the cables or converter can become wet. Connect the power cord to the converter and to the DC source (110-120V, 60Hz).

    To Power the ICRI with the optional C-AT battery pack (8 “AA” cells) The battery housing is comprised of two parts; the exterior case and an internal tray. NO TOOLS ARE NEEDED TO REMOVE THE TRAY AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES. FIGURE 7: BATTERY INSTALLATION (DRAWING) Hold the battery housing securely in the palm of the hand with metal battery terminal plate facing up.

    Setting the radio to transmit through the ICRI Set the audio level on each connected radios to mid position. NOTE: Radio interconnect cables are generally specific to a radio brand and model, although Set the radio to the desired channel. Because the ICRI is connected to the radio via the speaker jack, the audio path on the attached radio is disrupted.

    Using a Nextel™ phone in DirectConnect™ mode. When connecting a Nextel handset, the connection is made through the handset's "headset" jack. This connection is the 2.5mm jack on the Nextel Falcon (i530) series phones/handsets. NOTE: At this point, the speaker and mic of the Nextel have been disabled; you will be able to communicate through the ICRI handset.

    5. Land-line Telephone, Cellular Phone Interface The ICRI/2PE and ICRI/2PED are equipped with a telephone connector on the front of the unit. To use either unit with the cell phone cable or telephone setup described below, connect the RJ22 adaptor (P/N 179.0805) to the telephone jack on the ICRI before plugging in the cables. This jack will provide the user the ability connect a standard telephone handset, cellular telephone, military STU/STE telephone.
