output (18).

on page 29.

When no headphones are connected to the Interpreter Station, the loudspeaker reproduces the selected incoming

 

signal. The rotary controls (6), (7), and (8) adjust the loudspeaker signal.

OUTPUT SELECT: These keys select one of two pre-selected target language channels and allow the interpreter to re- quest the talker to speak more slowly or to call a technician for assistance (provided a technician is available).

11A: Routes the microphone signal to the target-language channel specified for this booth.

12CALL: This key has two functions:

•Pressing <CALL> momentarily sends a "speak slowly" signal to the talker. The red LED above the <CALL> key and the green LED on the microphone arm of the talker's Delegate Station will flash for about 5 seconds. The display (5) shows the message "SENDING SLOWLY PLEASE". Pressing <CALL> momentarily again before the five seconds have elapsed will stop the signal.

•Holding down <CALL> for at least 3 seconds activates an appropriate message on the computer monitor alerting the technician that an interpreter needs assistance. To cancel the signal, hold down <CALL> again for about 3 seconds.

13B: Routes the microphone signal to the source-language channel specified for this booth.

14MICROPHONE: This toggle switch provides three positions:

•OFF: The microphone is off and the LED on the microphone arm is dark.

•ON: The microphone is open and the LED on the microphone arm is lit.

•MUTE (cough button function): The microphone is muted and the LED on the microphone arm is dark for as long as you hold the switch in the MUTE position. The switch will return to the ON (center) position as soon as you release the switch.

15Microphone input.

16External microphone input: This mini jack allows you to connect the microphone of a headset if the client spec- ifies headsets for the interpreters instead of microphone arms and separate headphones.

17System port: RJ45 connector for CS5 MK.. LAN cables. (Refer to section 2.2 for example wiring diagrams.)

18: Mini jack for stereo headphones.

6.3Setting Up

Important:

!• According to international practice as specified by the AIIC, each interpretation booth must provide two Interpreter Stations because interpreters never work alone. Having an interpreter work alone in a booth would be unethical.

￿Note: In the following sections, the terms "source language", "target language", and "relay language" will be used frequently.

The source language is the language an interpreter translates into another language. That other language is called the target language.

A relay language is a target language that is used as a source language by another interpreter if that inter- preter is not qualified to interpret the original source language.

6.3.1Making Connections

1.Screw the microphone capsule on the gooseneck.

2.Screw the gooseneck into the microphone input.

3.Use the appropriate CS5 MK.. cables to connect the system ports on the microphone station to the system ports on the preceding and subsequent microphone stations.
