1. On/Off & Volume Control - Turns beltpack power on and controls headset volume
for Intercom Channels “A” and “B”. Either knob, “A” or “B”, turns the beltpack on.
Both knobs must be off to turn the beltpack off. If only one knob is off, then only that
Intercom Channel, “A” or “B” is off for both transmit and receive audio.
2. Wireless Talk Around (WTA) - When pressed, the user’s audio is disconnected
from the wired intercom, auxiliary input/output and the base station’s local headset.
Other beltpack users, on that audio channel, can hear the user as normal.The default
setting is software selectable, as to which Intercom Channel, “A”, “B”, “A + B”, or
currently selected channel, is activated along with the “WTA” button. The “WTA”
button activates the nearby red LED as well as the software selected Intercom
Channel “TALK” LED if not already active.
3. Stage Announce (SA) - When pressed, the user’s audio is routed to the stage
announce connector on the back of the base station and the base’s relay is closed. The
user also loses their sidetone as an indication that stage announce is activated. The
other wireless beltpacks and wired users do not hear the user’s audio.The button is
non-latching and activates the nearby red LED.
4. Talk button- Press to enable the audio path to Intercom Channel “A” or “B” or “A +
B”, from the local headset microphone. The associated “TALK” LED, #6, will turn
red when enabled. A quick press and release latches the talk function, unless latching
has been disabled. Holding the button for over ½ second, will cause the audio path to
be enabled only for as long as the button is held. If the talk function is latched on,
pressing the talk button again will turn it off.
5. Low Battery/Overmodulation (BAT/OM) Light - Light will flash once when unit
is turned on if the battery is good. If the light stays on, battery is low. If the light does
not flash, battery is dead. A normal microphone gain setting will cause the LED to
flash at the beginning of most words at normal speech levels. If the gain is too high,
the LED will be red during the complete word at normal speech levels.
6. Talk Light - Will turn red when enabled by associated “TALK” or “WTA” button.
