Operating the central unit

Before a conference starts, you have to configure your entire conference and interpretation system via the central unit’s operating menu (see “Con- figuring the SDC 8200 system” on page 60); it is, however, possible to make changes to individual settings during a conference.

Adjusting the volume of the consoles’ built-in loudspeakers

Adjust the volume of the consoles’ built-in loudspeakers so that all partic- ipants can clearly hear all audio information:

Turn the jog wheel on the central unit.

The volume of the consoles’ built-in loudspeaker is increased or reduced. The bars on the start display indicate the set volume level.

Note!

The conference participants cannot adjust the volume of their consoles’ built-in loudspeakers! However, each participant can individually adjust the headphone volume on his or her console.

The interpreters can individually adjust both the volume of their consoles’ built-in loudspeakers and the volume of the connected headphones.

Restarting the conference and interpretation system

The front panel of the central unit features a reset button which allows you to restart the central unit.

Insert a pointed tool into the small hole on the front panel of the central unit.

The central unit restarts with the last settings configured.
