Using TalkMaster
An important benefit of using Automatic mode is that other intercoms are precluded from interrupting your "conversation" because the Talk or Listen button is always active. TalkMaster will not interrupt a call if there is already one in progress. Any other intercom that tries to contact TalkMaster will be placed in the Calls Waiting list.
Example of using Listen mode Manual:
Please note that the following example uses the option of clicking and holding the Space Bar to activate the Talk button. Please see menu Admin - Preferences - Options for an alternate method of controlling the Talk button
•Intercom user presses and holds the PTT button on one of the Intercoms and begins speaking.
•The Intercom is selected in TalkMaster™ and the audio is through the PC speakers.
•The Intercom user releases the PTT button when done speaking
•The TalkMaster operator responds by holding down the Space Bar on the keyboard and speaking into the microphone..
•When the TalkMaster operator releases the Space Bar, the Talk button turns off. The TalkMaster operator can then click the Listen button or allow the Intercom user to respond by using the PTT button.
•To end the conversation with an Intercom, the TalkMaster operator presses the Escape key on the keyboard while the Listen button is active.
In Manual mode, it is possible for another intercom to interrupt your conversation by pressing the PTT button when neither the Talk nor Listen button is active.
