must be replaced or recharged soon. This setting is available under Alarm
Options.
The Eclipse beltpack features an internal battery charger circuit, with intelligent
circuitry to prevent overcharging. It is powered via the pin connector on the
bottom of the beltpack, using the supplied universal power supply. A thermistor
(temperature-sensing device) measures the change in temperature of the battery
when charging, letting the circuit know when to cease charging the batteries.
Spare clips of four batteries are available by contacting the Sales Department.

REGISTERING BELTPACKS WITH THE MATRIX

The PC-to-Beltpack serial cable is used to register beltpacks with the PC running
the Eclipse Configuration Software (ECS). It can also be used to upgrade the
firmware of the beltpacks. A PC software utility program is used in conjunction
with this cable to register the beltpacks.
The cable consists of a female 9-pin D type connector (PC connection) and a 3.5
mm (1.8-inch) stereo jack plug (beltpack connection). Care must be taken to
select a jack plug that fits completely through the plastic surround of the
connector at the bottom of the beltpack.
The data connections between the D connector and the stereo jack plug are as
follows: pin 2 to tip, pin 3 to ring, and pin 5 to sleeve. Pins 1,4,6 and 8 on the
PC connector are shorted together.

You can access up to twelve communications routes with a beltpack. You activate
a route by pressing the appropriate talk button (A or B) when the desired label
