• When ON is selected the user will hear a beeping in the beltpack’s
headset when the beltpack is almost out of the range of the
antenna, and will soon lose connection with the system.
• When the beltpack’s signal-level icon is at the second-lowest
increment the user will hear one quick beep and two slightly
longer beeps at approximately one-second intervals in the
headset. The user will hear the same beeps when going
completely out of range and connection is lost with the antenna
(and the basestation).
• This setting may be especially useful when establishing the
coverage area for a particular location. Because the signal level
when the alarm is first activated is still strong enough for
conversations to happen (though possibly with occasional audio
dropouts), it may not be desirable to keep this alarm on during
normal operation of the system. This low signal alarm is also
useful for checking out the coverage in a location when first
setting up transceiver/antennas, for either a temporary or
permanent installation.
• When OFF is selected the low signal alarm does not operate.
AUDIO OPTIONS
Headphone-Off Level Option
This option allows the user to select the signal threshold when the
headphone audio “turns off.” Level settings are - 6, -12, -18, and – 70
dB. The typical setting is –70 dB, which functions as “always on.”
Page Lock Option
When the Page Lock option is selected the page change keys no
longer operate.
Headphone Limiter Option
This option introduces a limiter into to headphone audio circuitry, to
control excessive levels and resulting stress on the ear of the user.
The level can be set anywhere in the range -32dBu to +16dBu using
the Headphone Limiter display on the beltpack. The typical setting is
–6 dBu.
Microphone Type Option
This option allows the user to select the proper setting for the headset
microphone. The available settings are Dynamic (Balanced) Mic and
Dynamic (Unbalanced) Mic. For most Clear-Com and other headsets,
the Dynamic (Unbal) Mic setting is proper.
