LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual Using Manual conversation mode, Talking in Manual mode

Use Manual mode if you’re having problems using Auto- matic mode, or if your sound card does not support Auto- matic mode. If your work environment is very noisy, you might have problems using Automatic mode. You can also use Manual mode to control exactly when speech is sent to the other person.

To change to Manual conversation mode:

1On the Options menu, click Voice Chat Options.

2On the Advanced tab, click Manual Mode.

3Click OK.

The next time you use Voice Chat, the window includes a walkie-talkie button that you use to talk.

Talking in Manual mode

Manual mode works differently depending on whether your conversation is full duplex or half duplex.

•When using half duplex, you click the walkie-talkie but- ton once in order to talk. While you’re talking, the other person cannot talk to you (he or she sees a “Don’t Talk” icon) until you click the button again to release it. The other person can then talk.

•When using full duplex, you also click the walkie-talkie button once in order to talk, but you don’t need to release it to allow the other person to talk, since in full duplex, you can both talk at the same time.

Therefore, you can just leave the button down until you and the other person are finished talking, since the other person can talk to you when your button is pressed.
