FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks are supplied with Li-ion batteries and battery charger. However, in some cases you may
wish to use AA batteries. Alkaline batteries can be used as a quick, easily available replacement. NiMH batteries can be
used in environments (for instance, high atmospheric/hyperbaric) where Li-ion batteries are not allowed.
When using AA batteries of either kind, it is helpful to set battery type so that battery capacity can be monitored accurately.
NiMH batteries and alkaline batteries have different discharge patterns and setting this option will allow for that.
AA Battery type must be set in the EHX (v8.5.2 or later) software. It is a global setting and will apply to all beltpacks in your system.














Open the EHX configuration software and navigate to Preferences / Wireless Beltpacks / Battery type.
Select required battery type, NiMH or Alkaline.
You must send this change to the matrix before it takes effect. Click Apply Changes to Matrix in the EHX software.
In the FSII beltpack Status screen the user can see what battery type is used by a particular beltpack.
