channel. To use this feature, in most situations set the beltpack’s talk button to
non-latching.
Option Compatibility Note that some options are mutually exclusive. You
cannot select “Steady Call Light” and “Flashing Call Light” at the same time.
When you click the check box for one of these options, the check boxes for the
other options automatically clear to show that they are unavailable.
Many options, however, are not mutually exclusive. For example, you can select
“Flashing Call Light,” “Call Light Dim,” and “Call Tone” at the same time.
When you select these options, the call signal appears as a flashing, but dimmed
call light, accompanied by a beeping tone in the beltpack’s headphone.
TALK BUTTON OPTIONS FOR A SINGLE-CHANNEL BELTPACK
Pressing a beltpack’s talk button turns the beltpack’s microphone on so that you
can talk on the intercom line. When you release the talk button, the microphone
shuts off. This is frequently called “push-to-talk” or “momentary” operation.
You can also lock a beltpack’s talk button on, so that it stays on continuously,
even after you release it. This is called “latching” the talk button.
V-Pack gives you several options to set up how a talk button operates on a
beltpack. You can program the beltpack talk button to operate in push-to-talk or
latching mode, or some combination of the two.
Figure 3 shows the talk button options for a single-channel beltpack, with the
default option, “Double Tap Latch,” selected. The factory programs this option
into all single-channel beltpacks, so that you can operate a beltpack immediately
when you receive it.

To activate an option, click the check box next to it. To shut off an option, clear
its check box by clicking it. The following list describes how each option
functions.
Latch Disabled When you select Latch Disabled, you cannot lock the beltpack’s
microphone on with the talk button. You can, however, press and hold the talk
button to talk on the microphone. When you release the button, the microphone
shuts off.
This prevents inadvertent latching of the talk button. Select this option when
you use “call-on-talk.”
