The rear panel has a slide switch that can be set to the follow- ing two modes:

PT TALK (Push-to-Talk)– The transmitter is always on. No audio is sent unless the talk button is active. Recom- mended position.

PT TX (Push-to-Transmit)– The transmitter and audio path are off except when the talk button is active.

Headset Connection

The headset connector is a XLR type connector. Four or five pin Telex or RTS headset connectors may be installed in the unit. See the “TR-1 Controls and Connections” section for in- formation on the pinouts. A dynamic or electret headset micro- phone is automatically detected by the beltpack and a bias voltage supplied if needed.

Sidetone

Sidetone is the amount of the users voice that is feedback to their headphone. The sidetone level in the beltpack is set at the base station. Please see “BTR-1 Operation” section for how to set this level.

Antenna Connection

The beltpack comes with two detachable, screw type, ¼ wave antennas. Attach the two antennas by screwing the antennas into the receptacles at the bottom of the beltpack. The color dot on the screw end of the antenna must match the color dot on the antenna receptacle.
