Auto-floor = Yes Press ENTER to Save

Choose “B-channel” and press the ENTER key. A booth number is shown on the display.

Choose the number of the booth whose main target language corresponds to the language you want to configure for the B-channel.

Example:

Let us assume that there are three interpreter booth: y Booth 1 for the target language English

y Booth 2 for the target language French y Booth 3 for the target language German

In order to set the B-channel of booth 3 to English, choose “1” from the “B-channel” menu.

Enabling the auto-relay interpretation function (Auto-floor)

If the original floor language is a language of which all interpreters have a complete understanding and from which they work, you do not have to enable this function. In this case, all interpreters interpret the original floor language into their respective target languages. These interpretations are then fed to the corresponding interpretation channels.

If the original floor language is not a language of which all interpreters have a complete understanding and from which they work, you can enable the auto-relay interpretation function (auto-floor): The original floor language is interpreted into a language understood by all interpreters. This interpretation is automatically “relayed” to the floor channel of all other interpreters and serves as the basis from which they interpret into their respective target languages.

To enable the auto-relay interpretation function (auto-floor):

Attention!

The interpreter who delivers the relay interpretation has to choose the B-channel!

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Interpretation”, “Configuration” and “Select Booth” one after the other.

The current booth number is shown on the display.

Choose the number of the booth from which the relay interpretation is to be delivered and press the ENTER key.

Choose “Auto-floor” and press the ENTER key.

Choose “Yes” to enable the auto-floor function and press the ENTER key to save this configuration.

The relay interpretation is automatically “relayed” to the floor channel

of all other interpreter consoles and the AUTOFLOOR LED on these interpreter consoles lights up, indicating that the auto-floor function is enabled.
