Using the G1 SCBA and BKR 5000 Radio
Confirm that the G1 SCBA, and Radio, are paired together: Radio Tag has been applied (or applied previously and pair is saved)
Step 1.
Turn on the BKR 5000 Radio using volume knob.
Step 2.
Don the G1 SCBA and G1 Facepiece.
Step 3.
Turn on the G1 SCBA via pressurization.
•
The G1 SCBA will try to establish a Bluetooth connection to the currently
paired radio for up to 8 minutes.
•
When found, it will quickly connect and disconnect, (and is now ready to
automatically activate when breathing.)
If the connection is not established, the pairing process described in the
previous section should be repeated.
Step 4.
Begin breathing (with the regulator attached) and the radio and SCBA will
connect automatically (approx. 20 seconds).
All SCBA voice communication will now go from the SCBA through the portable radio.
Use Notes & Tips:
• Turn on the radio prior to the G1 SCBA.
• If the regulator is shut off, the G1 SCBA will not remain connected to the radio, and the radio is available for
non-Bluetooth use. The G1 SCBA will automatically re-connect to the radio when breathing on the G1 regulator.
• Verify both the incoming and outgoing audio functionality after the Bluetooth wireless connection is established.
