Ext Intercom Switch, Level Control, and In- dicator: This switch enables the wired intercom interface when "IN", and disables it when "OUT". For RTS intercoms, the "IN" position is channel A and the "OUT" position is channel B. Ascrewdriver adjustable control is provided to control the input level of the wired intercom.

Auxiliary Audio Enable Switch, Level Control, and Indicator: The switch enables and disables the Auxiliary intelface when "IN" and "OUT", respec- tively. The function of the level control here is the same as that described for the intercom.

TransmitAntenna Connector: Connect 5/8-wave antenna (supplied) to this connector. Antenna color should match connector dot on BTR-200.

Receive Antenna Connector: Connect 5/S-wave antenna (supplied) to this connector. Antenna color

(j should match connector dot on BTR-200.

Transmit Switch: Slide switch that allows the operator to select one of three transmit modes. In the "OFF" position, the transmitter is always off. This mode may be used if the base is functioning solely as a monitor. In the "CONT" position, the transmitter is always on. This continuous mode is recommended over the "REMOTE" mode. In the "REMOTE" position, the transmitter is enabled only when one or more portables are active.

Headset Microphone Select Switch: This switch allows the user to select either an Electret or Dynamic microphone. This switch i~ factory preset to DYN Position.

NOTE: All Telex headsets that are used with this intercom are dynamic type microphones.

Intercom Connectors: Connections to interface the BTR-200 with a wired intercom system.

Auxiliary Output/Input Connectors: Can be used for 2-way (four wire) input and output to the BTR-200 or as a simplex input or output. Typical uses are 4 wire low level intercoms, tape recorders, public address inputs or outputs, or when operating two BTR-200 units simultaneously.

Power Jack: For external AC wall supply adaptor (supplied) or any filtered 12 to 14 VDC/300 rnA source, or 13.0 VAC RMS/300 rnA source.

Speaker Jack: Allows the user to connect an ex- ternal speaker (8 ohms minimum) to the unit.
