BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
The control panel on the lower front panel of the Master must be set to Position 1 if
only the built-in speaker and microphone are being used (no external microphone or
headset is being used), Position 2 if the RF Headset is in use, or Position 3 if the
Gooseneck Microphone is being used without a headset. Set the Incoming Volume on
the control panel to a comfortable level.
At each window, pressing the WIN button selects the sub-station at that window for a
hands-free conversation between the visitor and the receptionist. Each receptionist
position can also selectively call two zones (which relate to their position) as well as do
an “All Call” with the fourth button. All buttons remain “in” until pushed a second
time, which releases them.
The volume control on the Master adjusts the incoming volume at the Master, whether
heard through the master’s speaker or the optional wireless headset. In addition, the
headset has its own volume control for headset volume. If the headset is being used,
the TALK button must be pressed to activate or deactivate it.
To avoid multiple simultaneous paging, a light centered above the three Zone Paging
Buttons indicates that the paging system is in use and the interviewer should wait until
the light is out before attempting to page.
Prerecorded announcements (if used in this system) can be selectively broadcast to a
specific zone or heard in all areas over the paging speakers, unless that particular zone
is being paged (or an All Call is in progress). In that event, that zone and that zone
only, automatically hears the page and not the prerecorded announcement.
The IW-HFS-1H handset sub-station enables handset communication while the handset
is off-hook. When on hook, the IW-HFS-1H operates as a hands-free sub-station.
