4. As firefighters pressurize their SCBA and the ICM TxR
Units are turned on, helmet icons (blue by default) will
appear in the “holding bin” frame of the SCBA moni-
toring window. The “holding bin” is the white area in
the upper left portion of the window. When the icon
first appears, it displays “Activated” under the helmet
icon. When the firefighter is fully logged on to the sys-
tem, the helmet icon will change to the color corre-
sponding to the current cylinder pressure. By default,
the colors indicating cylinder pressure will correspond
with the colors displayed in the NightFighter Heads-
Up Display System receiver.

6. When the helmet icon changes from blue to a color
corresponding to the cylinder pressure (RED, YEL-
LOW, GREEN by default), the ICM TxR Unit has fully
logged on to the base station. The pressure reading is
the last piece of information that the base station
reads from the ICM TxR Unit before the log on
process is complete. To confirm that a particular unit
has completely logged on to the base station, verify
that the antenna icon in the lower right corner of the
SCBA statistics frame is present.

Note: If the ICM TxR Unit is turned off
before the full log in processes is complet-
ed, the corresponding helmet icon will
remain in the “holding bin” until the SCBA
monitoring window has been closed. For
example, if an ICM TxR Unit is turned on
and has begun to log on to the base sta-
tion, if this ICM TxR Unit is then turned off before the log
on process has been completed, a “ghost” icon will
remain in the “holding bin” even though the ICM TxR Unit
has been turned off. If that ICM TxR Unit is then turned
on again, a new helmet icon will appear and the unit will
begin the log on process again. In this case, even if the
ICM TxR Unit completes the log in process, a “ghost” hel-
met icon for that unit may remain in the “holding bin” until
