• If you select the AC check box for a channel, an incoming AC call signal for
that channel produces a beeping tone in the beltpack’s headphone. If you click
to clear the AC check box, you cannot receive an AC call signal on that
channel at the beltpack.
• If you select the DC check box for a channel, an incoming DC call signal on
that channel produces a beeping tone in the beltpack’s headphone. If you click
to clear the DC check box, you cannot receive a DC call signal on that channel
at the beltpack.
The beeping tone does not sound in the initiating caller’s headset. The call tone’s
audio level is preset and independent of the other listen level settings.
Call on Talk When you select the Call-on-Talk check box, the beltpack sends a
call signal on that intercom channel each time you press that channel’s Talk
button at the beltpack. You can select this option for one or both channels.
• If you select the AC check box for a channel, the beltpack sends an AC call
signal on that channel each time you press the talk button for that channel. If
you click to clear the AC check box, the beltpack does not send an AC call
signal on that channel each time you press the talk button for that channel.
• If you select the DC check box for a channel, the beltpack sends a DC call
signal on that channel each time you press the talk button for that channel. If
you click to clear the DC check box, the beltpack does not send a DC call
signal on that channel each time you press the talk button for that channel.
When selecting Call-on-Talk for a channel, that channel’s associated talk button
should be set to non-latching in most situations.
Option Compatibility Note that some options are mutually exclusive. You
cannot select “Steady Call Light” and “Flashing Call Light” at the same time for a
specific signal or channel. 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, on Channel B,
with DC call signaling, you can select “Flashing Call Light,” “Call Light Dim,”
and “Call Tone” at the same time. When you select these options, the beltpack
receives a call signal as a flashing, but dimmed call light, accompanied by a tone
in the beltpack’s headphone.
TALK BUTTON OPTIONS FOR A DUAL-CHANNEL BELTPACK
Pressing a beltpack’s talk button turns the 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 the talk buttons operate on a
beltpack. You can program the beltpack’s talk buttons to operate in push-to-talk
or latching mode, or some combination of the two.
