USING THE BELTPACK ANSWER-BACK FUNCTIONS
A beltpack’s “answer-back” key performs two functions:
The first function is to answer a call from a source whose “label”
does not appear on the currently selected beltpack page.
When a source whose label does not appear on the currently selected
beltpack page, but whose label does appear on a non-selected page,
your beltpack’s “answer-back” light flashes, and you can hear the
caller’s voice in your headset at whatever incoming volume you
previously set for that label.
You can answer this call in one of two ways:
• Press the front-panel “answer-back” button on your beltpack. This
establishes a return talk path to the calling beltpack. You can
press and hold the button to talk or you can quickly tap the button
to “latch” it on.
• Use the front-panel scroll buttons to scroll to the page where the
source’s label appears and press the appropriate talk button as
usual.
The second function is to call a beltpack even though it does not
have your “label” assigned to it. You must have assigned the
destination beltpack’s “label” to your beltpack however to make
this type of call.
For example, a stage manager labeled “STMGR” has a lighting crew
member’s label “LGT1” assigned to his beltpack. However, the lighting
crew member does not have the stage manager’s label assigned to his
beltpack.
The stage manager can call the lighting crew member in the usual way.
The lighting crew member can answer the call with the “answer-back”
button on his beltpack and establish a private conversation. The
lighting crew member cannot however initiate a direct call back to the
stage manager.
BELTPACK MENU OPTIONS
The Eclipse beltpack presents you with a number of adjustable
parameters. The main categories of the adjustments are: Alarm
Options, Audio Options, View Status, and Adjust Contrast accessed
through the menu. To enter menu mode hold down both page buttons
simultaneously until the beltpack enters menu mode (about 5
seconds).
An icon of an upward pointing arrow designates EXIT or BACK, and is
available on each menu page. Selecting this icon and pressing the
center ENTER button takes you to the previous screen or exits to the
beltpack’s main menu.
