DX SERIES LED AID
Powering on any DX base station will produce on the LED display the number “8” for approximately
3 seconds.
Blank display indicates the base is ready for operation.
You can register beltpacks under this condition.
Single horizontal bar indicates the base is in secondary mode and registering to a base has been
initiated and successfully linked with a primary base. You can register beltpacks in this mode.
Two horizontal bars indicate that the base is in secondary mode and ready to be synced with a primary
base. You cannot register beltpacks in this mode you must sync to a primary base rst.
Three horizontal bars indicate the base is in secondary mode and has been linked with a primary base
but the primary base is no longer available to the secondary. It takes a few seconds for the secondary
to recognize that the primary is not available and revert to a primary state. However, you can register
beltpacks under this condition.

¾Press the REG or REGISTER BELT-PAC* button on the primary base and then press the REG or
REGISTER BELT-PAC* button on the secondary base to begin the sync process.

the numbers 1, 2, and 3 cycle through on the display. The numbers indicate the three available
quadrants. Note: The primary is in the 0 quadrant by default.

The number “1” indicates the quadrant
the secondary has been placed in.
