down monitor movements and three buttons to control the DynamicTalk
functions and to external control other devices (GPO):
1. Raising the monitor
To rise up and tilt the monitor display, press the rear button (1) on the right
hand side of the cover plate. Adjust the angle by permanent pressing this
button (1) while the monitor is open; the screen will slowly move between
90° to 110°. When the screen is then on the desired working angle, release
the button (1). To memorize this working angle permanently, press the
middle button (2) during 2 seconds.
2. Retracting the monitor (upwards the screen):
To fold down the monitor with the screen facing up, press the middle button
(2). In this position, the screen is completely visible and can be used in a
complete flat horizontal position, levelled with the table top.
It is recommended that no objects or parts of the body that could obstruct
the retracting movement of the display, are not on the top of the cover
plate.

3. Retracting the monitor (downwards the screen):
To fold down the monitor with the screen facing down, going into storage
position, press the front button (3). This button will also turn on or off the
monitor when the monitor is fully closed and the screen is facing up.
It is recommended that no objects or parts of the body that could obstruct
the retracting movement of the display, are not on the top of the cover
plate.
4. Microphone UP/DOWN: Controls the UP and DOWN microphone lift
movement
5. Customised button: This push button is used to control external devices.
The contact close button (GPO) is present on SubD9 connector to external
control other devices.
6. TALK or GPO button: This push button has two different functions:
- PA mode: In PA mode, this button is used as MUTE function. When
pressing the button once, the LED ring will appear in red indicating that
the MUTE function is deactivated and it’s ready for the user to talk to the
audience. Press the button again to activate de MUTE function and silent
the microphone, which will be indicated by the green LED ring.
- Conference mode: In conference mode the microphone is controlled
by the external conference system. In this case, the button then has
no function and the contact close of the push button is present on the
SubD9 control connector (GPO). In this case, there are two GPO buttons
available.
7. Dynamic LED Ring: The system has a LED ring to indicate the status
of the microphone: RED indicates that the MUTE function is deactivated
and GREEN indicates that the MUTE is activated. When the equipment
is configured to work in conference mode, the LED ring is externally

MICROPHONE LENGTH SETTING PROCEDURE
DynamicTalk is designed to work with microphones of different lengths. Two
signs to identify an incorrect setup of the microphone length are:
- The microphone do not goes down completely.
- The microphone goes down too slowly and gets stuck inside.
The microphone length can be adjusted using the Monitor Configurator
Tool, but there is also a quick procedure that doesn’t require the use of a
PC or cable:
1. Disconnect the Power connector
2. Set switch 5 to ON position
3. Set the length of the microphone in the rotatory switch,
in cm. For instance, if the microphone is 40cm, set the
rotatory switch as: tens=4, unit=0
4. Connect to Power. There will be a 5 beep sound
5. Disconnect Power
6. Set switch 5 to OFF position
7. Set the AHnet address in the rotatory switch, the default
setting is address 01 (tens=0, units=1).
8. Connect the Power connector
