Figure 6 shows the call signaling options for a dual-channel beltpack, with the
two default options for Mode 1, “Call Button,” and “Steady Call Light,”
selected. The factory programs these options into all dual-channel beltpacks, so
that you can operate a beltpack immediately when you receive it.
Figure 6: Call Signaling Options for a Dual-Channel Beltpack
On dual-channel beltpacks, you can send and receive both AC and DC call
signals on a channel simultaneously. With this feature, for example, on one
beltpack channel you can simultaneously send a DC signal to activate a call
signal, and send an AC signal to activate an interface, such as a TW-40 Two-Way
Radio Interface.
You can create unique call signals to send along with the standard call signals. For
example, you can send an AC call signal as a headset tone, while sending a DC
call signal as a standard steady light. This feature lends itself to many creative
applications.
NOTE: RTS-compatible beltpacks—the RS-603, RS-623, RS-603R, and RS-623R
models—offer DC call signaling only on the B channel. If you use the Channel
Reverse feature (described later in this chapter), DC call signaling switches to the A
channel and deactivates on the B channel. AC call signaling will not work with the
RS-601 or any RS-500 series beltpack.
Call Button Selecting the Call Button check box for a channel activates that
channel’s call-signaling capability. With this feature selected, each time you press
a channel’s call button, a call signal transmits on that channel. If you click to clear
the check box for a channel, you cannot send a call signal on that channel from
the beltpack.
• If you select the AC check box, you can send an AC call signal on that
channel. If you click to clear the AC check box, you cannot send an AC call
signal on that channel.
• If you select the DC check box, you can send a DC call signal on that
channel.If you click to clear the DC check box, you cannot send a DC call
signal on that channel.
• You can select both the AC and DC check boxes for a channel.
