Basic System Operation
Communicating With a Selected Speaker
Use the following steps to talk and listen to a room that has its switch set to the “C” (down) position.
1. Place the switch of the room that you wish to talk and listen to in the “C” (down) position.
2. Make sure the PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION button MIC 1 is in the out position; if not, push it to pop it out.
3. Press and hold the green PRESS-TO-TALK switch and speak into the CONSOLE MIC (upper left corner).
4. Release the button to listen to the reply. To adjust the volume, use the green MONITOR/LISTEN knob.
Distributing Audio to Rooms
To send audio to rooms continuously, do the following:
1. Set the switches for all the rooms that are to receive the audio into the “A” (up) position.
2. Select the source of the audio by pushing in one or more of the PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION buttons (MIC1,
MIC 2, or AUX). To turn off the audio source, push the button again so that it pops out. If more than one
audio source is selected, the audio from each source will be mixed together.
Note: Make sure that the MIC 1 button is turned off (popped out) before making an intercom announcement.
Otherwise the intercom announcement will not only be heard in the desired stations set to “C” but also in all
the rooms set to “A”.
3. To disconnect the audio from a room, simply set the room switch to the “O” (center) position.
Adjusting Program Level to Rooms
While the audio is playing observe the 3 PROGRAM TALK LEVEL lights (N, P, O). The green “N” light should be
lit continuously with the yellow “P” light turning on occasionally. This indicates that the audio level to the rooms is
good. If the red “O” light turns on, it indicates that the volume level going to the room speakers is set too high.
Use the orange program knob to turn the volume down to an acceptable level.
To Make an All-Rooms Announcement
To distribute audio to all rooms that have room selector switches in “A” or “O” positions:
1. Select source using MIC 1, MIC 2, or AUX button.
2. Press the ALL ROOMS button.
To Make an Emergency Announcement
To make an emergency page announcement to all rooms, regardless of switch settings or program source selec-
tions, do the following:
1. Press the EMERGENCY PAGE push-button and speak into the CONSOLE MIC.
2. To release the emergency page, push the emergency page button again.
