Using the interpreter console

As soon as your interpreter console is configured, you can use it as follows:

￿Make sure that the correct channel for the target language is set (see “Switching between the A-channel and the B-channel” on page 35):

y If you interpret into the main target language assigned to your booth, choose the A-channel.

y If you interpret into a target language not assigned to your booth, choose the B-channel.

In this case, make sure that the B-channel is configured to the language into which you interpret (see “Configuring the B-channel of an interpreter console” on page 33)!

y If you interpret a “rare” language into a language of which the other interpreters have a complete understanding and from which they then interpret into their respective languages (Auto-floor), also choose the B-channel.

The green LEDs indicate the selected channel (A or B).

￿ Make sure that the selected channel is not being used!

The red “ENGAGED” LED of the selected channel must not light up!

￿ Press the MICRO key		and start interpreting.
The red LED	of the selected channel lights up.
￿ Press the MICRO key		once more to stop interpreting.
