Talkback 1 Button and LED Indicator

The button in the center, factory labeled TALKBACK 1, controls the function(s) as- sociated with talkback 1. The manner in which the button functions depends on the way it was configured. An LED indi- cator, green in color, is located directly above the button. It lights whenever talk- back 1 is active. If the talkback 1 function mode has been configured for disabled, it will light only if the auxiliary relay has been assigned to follow the talkback 1 button. If the Model 233 has been selected to the on-air system mode, whenever talkback 1 is active the main output will be placed in the muted state. If the Model 233 is set to the production system mode the status of talkback 1 will not impact the main output.

If the Model 233 is selected to the on-air system mode, whenever talkback 2 is ac- tive the main output will be placed in the muted state.
