The Helium Digital Bluetooth Communicator HDBT-110 (2)
By admin | May 25, 2007
Included are:
- The Communicator unit;
- Car adapter (for what we used to call the cigarette lighter);
- USB charging cable;
- Metal mounting brackets for the visor and ventilation grille; and /li>
- User Manual.
The Communicator unit itself is just under 4 inches in diameter, but I thought a comparison shot to a couple of PPCs would be helpful.

Installation and Setup
After getting the package opened, the first order of business is to charge the internal battery. Within the Communicator, the rechargeable battery is already installed, and not user replaceable. Charging is accomplished through the supplied cable, which has a standard USB plug on one end and what looks like a proprietary connector on the other. One neat feature about the Communicator is that the charging socket on the unit comes with a rubber protective insert, which is attached to the Communicator unit.

For the initial charging, you can use a wall-plug to USB adapter. After about 3.5 hours, the blue and red LEDs go out and it’s done. According to the manual, subsequent charges should take 2 to 3 hours.
