Whenever the group, channels or frequencies are changed at the base, it will display the following screen:

This will occur regardless of a beltpack communication to the base station or not. It is a broadcast type of message. If a beltpack is communication with the base station, then two software menu functions in the beltpack determines if that beltpack will follow the base to the new frequencies or staty where it is currently. One option is called, "Auto Programming", the other option is, "Transmit Power". The beltpack auto programming must be set to ON and the Transmit Power set to "Auto" for automatic frequency pro- gramming of the beltpack to occur. More detail on these two options may be found in the "TR-1 Operation" section of the manual.
