and off and controls headset volume.
2. Battery/Overmodulation Light - Flashes once when unit
is turned on if battery is good. If light stays on, battery is
low. If light does not flash, battery is dead.

est speech.

release quickly to stay on continuously.

ables the beltpack user to switch between wired intercom

voice feedback to earphone for a headset that is plugged

tion controls the beltpack sidetone in standard units.

flashes on the loudest speech.

mended position.

mitter is turned on when the Talk Switch is activated and
turned off when the talk switch is deactivated.
