ZEPHYR XPORT USER’S GUIDE

Mixer Adjustments

hHOT TIP! The Xport has "stowable" control knobs for the mixer functions. If the knob is not protruding, push it in and release to make it accessible.

Microphone

Speak into your Microphone and adjust the MIC knob on the front panel to adjust the level displayed on the Snd meter (at the top of the screen). If you cannot get adequate level on the meter, even with the MIC knob turned all the way up, you will need to change the Mic Gain setting in the first LCD menu.

Headphones

First, adjust the MIX knob to the 12 O'clock position (straight up). Next, turn the headphone knob all the way down. Put on your headphones and speak into the microphone. Turn up the headphone adjustment until you can hear yourself in the headphones.

You are ready to place your first call.

2.2 Placing Your First Call, to Telos

Located less than a mile from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, there is always something interesting playing on the Telos test line. Let’s call Cleveland. If you prefer, you can call our test line in Europe. That number is listed under “Test Lines” on page iii at the front of this manual.

Follow these step-by-step instructions:

1.Remove your headphones.

2.Press the <DIAL> button once. Use the keypad to enter the Telos test line number. Be certain to precede it with any number you may need to dial to access an outside line (such as "9") and/or to place a long distance (such as "1") or international call. The number is +1 216 781- 9310. Press the <DIAL> button again.

hHOT TIP! If your phone line has the feature "call waiting," you should temporarily disable this by entering "*70" (or other special code) before the number to be dialed.

3.You should see a series of messages that say Modem Off Hook, Dialing Finished, Modem Detected, Connecting., Connecting, Connecting…, Connected, and finally, Connect Lock 0:00:01 .
