Intercom Type

The base station has the ability to interface to a variety of wired intercom systems. These include Telex (AudioCom), RTS 2W, ClearCom®, Four Wire Systems and others.

Auxiliary Line

The auxiliary line may be set to local or global.

Local = Any audio placed into the auxiliary input port is routed only to the base station's local headset and beltpack

Global = Any audio placed into the auxiliary input port is routed not only to the base station's local headset and beltpack, but also to any wired system connected to the base station.

Base TX Power

The base station transmit power can be set to two posi- tions.

NORM = The transmit power is about 10 dB below maximum power. This is 5 mW typically.

HI = The transmit power is at full power. This is 50 mW typically.

BP Off Mode

This option sets the base station's wired connectivity when the beltpack is off, out of communications range or in Push-to-Tx mode, with the talk button OFF.

MUTE ICs = The base station drops connectivity to any wired intercom connected to it after 1 second of no communications from a beltpack.

LAST IC = The base station maintains connectivity to the wired intercom(s). The base station remains on the last intercom channel(s) selected when not receiving communications from a beltpack.

BTN A = The base station connect to the "A" button defined wired intercom(s) when not receiving commu- nications from a beltpack.

BTN B = The base station connects to the "B" button defined wired intercom(s) when not receiving commu- nications from a beltpack.

BTN C = The base station connects to the "C" button defined wired intercom and activates the "C" button options (QB and/or relay if active) when not receiving communications from a beltpack.

Sidetone Levels

The sidetone is the amount of a user’s own voice that is feed back to their headphones. Both the beltpack and base station sidetone may be adjusted in the base main settings.
