Modular Cord P1 - Plugs into PAGE INPUT jack J1 on rear of
PowerMate.
PAGE INPUT Jack J101 - One end of the 6-foot modular cord
supplied with the PowerMate plugs into jack J101. The other
end of the cord connects to the host communications
system using either a modular plug or four spade-tip lugs.
When the cord is equipped with spade-tip lugs, connection to
the host system may also be through a connecting block.
For your host communications system, refer to the
PowerMate manual and the specific connection document
that is supplied with the PowerMate.
Cable P3 - Plugs into connector J3 on rear of PowerMate.
Carries power and audio circuits.
TALKBACK VOICE COIL OUT Jack -
Provides voice coil audio
output for use with speakers that feature talk-back.
Connectorized speaker cable or a Y-connector (supplied with
speakers) may be plugged directly into this jack.
Note:
The OUTPUTS jacks J4 and J5 on PowerMate may be
used in combination with the TALKBACK VOICE COIL
OUT jack on TalkMate (all three jacks may be used at
the same time). But only the speakers powered from
TalkMate will have talk-back.
TalkMate Controls
The TalkMate controls (Figure 1-3) are described in the paragraphs that

sensitivity of Page/Talk-Back switch. The Page/Talk-Back
switch controls the page and talk-back modes and is

at telephone. For example, this control will either increase or
decrease the sound volume when someone is responding to
a page by using the speakers as a microphone. Turn control
