Hold down Talk button while speaking (PTT) - When this option is checked, the Talk button can be activated by pressing and holding down the Space Bar or by clicking on the Talk button and holding the mouse button down.
If this option is not checked, the Talk button can be activated/deactivated by single clicking the Talk button or tapping the Space Bar on your computer keyboard.
Activate Call Announcement - When this option is checked, the button on the Intercom is treated as a Call button. After pressing and releasing the Intercom’s Call button, the message "your call is being connected" is played at the Intercom. The Call Announcement Notifications will then be triggered in TalkMaster. Please see Call Announcement for more details.
Call Announcement Notification - These notifications alert the TalkMaster operator to an incoming call. The alerts will be triggered up to four times at 5 second intervals until the incoming call is answered. If the TalkMaster operator is already on a call, the alerts will not be triggered.
Visual Notification - Checking this box causes the TalkMaster title bar and task bar icon to flash.
Audible Notification - Checking this box causes the selected audio file to be played at the TalkMaster console. Select the Door Bell or the Custom option from the list. If you select Custom, you can record over the custom_announcement.wav file in the iSupport subdirectory of the TalkMaster program directory. If you record a new wave file, it should only be one or two seconds long since the wav file will not be interrupted once it starts playing! See Changing Recordings for more information.
