Voice-Activated Microphone VOX Setup, Operation

Voice-Activated Microphone (VOX) Setup

If you are going to use VOX, you must adjust the VOX level for proper operation. If the VOX level is too low, room noise activates the microphone. If the VOX level is too high, the microphone does not activate when you begin talking.

To check and set the VOX level, do the following:

1.If you are using a headset, tap the Headset key twice to turn on headset VOX.

If you are using a panel microphone, tap the Panel Mic key twice to turn on panel mic VOX.

Whichever key you tap glows orange when the microphone is off and flickers or turns green when sound is picked up by the microphone.

2.Position the microphone at its normal operation location.

If you are using a headset, put the headset on and position the microphone close to your mouth. Insure background noise is at the normal operating level.

IMPORTANT:Do not speak into the microphone.

3.Observe the Headset or Panel Mic key, whichever you are using.

•If the key is constantly glowing orange, turn the VOX trimmer clockwise until the key begins to flicker green (mic activating) then turn the trimmer slightly back in the counter-clockwise direction until the Panel Mic key just returns to steady orange (mic off).

•If you are wearing a headset, make sure that breathing and movement do not cause the Panel Mic key to flicker green. If they do, adjust the VOX control slightly more in the counter-clockwise direction to eliminate this.

4.Speak into the microphone in a normal voice.

5.Verify the headset key immediately turns green when you talk.

If it does not, move the microphone closer to your mouth. If you are still unable to get satisfactory results, it may be the microphone does not have the directional characteristics required for the noise level in the room.

NOTE:

•A directional, or cardioid, microphone is recommended when using VOX.

•When using omnidirectional microphones mode, the Mic Kill key is unlit; in programming mode it is lit continuously.

6.Tap the Mic Kill key.

The MS-2002 returns to normal operation if it has been left in programming mode.
