Power On/Off
• Power On — Press and release the power button on the inside
of the headset housing. A voice message in the earpiece will say
“Power on, Headset #, Version #” and the power light will go on.
The STATUS indicator on the base station will momentarily indicate
the Headset ID number.
• Power Off — Press and hold the power button for approximately
3 seconds. A voice message in the earpiece will say “Power off,”
and the power light will go off.
ISO (Isolate) and IC (Intercom)
Use the ISO button to communicate with other Headset/Beltpac/Speaker Station
users and the base station operator. Pressing ISO on the Headset will send audio
to AUX OUT if ISO+ button on the base station is on. The ISO feature can be
locked out, causing the ISO button to function the same as the IC button.
Use the IC1 or IC2 button to communicate via the intercom channel and
with the base station operator, or anyone listening to a local speaker connected
to the base station. Pressing IC1 or IC2 on the Headset will send audio to the
hardwired intercom if the intercom is on.

• Push-To-Talk Mode — To set the Headset for Push-To-Talk (PTT) communication, with the power off,
press and hold the volume-down T and ISO buttons while you press and release the power button. You will
hear “Power on, Headset #, Version #, Hands-Free off” in the earpiece. Press and hold the IC1, IC2 or ISO
button while talking.
• Hands-Free Mode — To set the Headset for Hands-Free (HF) communication, with the power off, press
and hold the volume-up S and ISO buttons while you press and release the power button. You will hear
“Power on, Headset #, Version #, Hands-Free on” in the earpiece. When set up for Hands-Free
communication, the Headset can be operated in either HF or PTT.
• ISO Lockout Mode — To set the Headset with the ISO feature locked out, with the power off, press and
hold the IC1 button while you press and release the power button. You will hear “Power on, Headset #, Version
#, ISO off” in your Headset earpiece. When set up for the ISO Lockout mode, the ISO button will operate
the same as the IC1 button, in either hands-free or PTT communication.
To reset the ISO feature for normal ISO button communication, with the power off, press and hold the ISO
and IC1 buttons while you press and release the power button. You will hear “Power on, Headset #, Version #,
ISO on” in your Headset earpiece.
• Lights-off Mode — To prevent the power and transmit lights from coming on during headset operation,
press and hold the IC2 button while you press the power button to turn the headset on.
To return the lights to their normal functions, turn the power off and on again without pressing the IC2 button.
NOTE: The above settings are saved in memory and only need to be repeated when you want to change between HF and
PTT operation. When changing modes, if both power lights begin blinking, turn the Headset off and begin again.
Hands-Free and Push-To-Talk mode settings affect both IC and ISO. Individual adjustment is not possible.
• Push-To-Talk Mode Operation — Press and hold the IC1, IC2 or ISO button while speaking. In PTT
operation, audio will be transmitted only while you are pressing the IC1, IC2 or ISO button.
• Hands-Free Mode Operation — Quickly press and release the IC or ISO button to “latch” the
transmitter on in the HF mode. Talk and listen, as in a normal telephone conversation. Press and release
the IC or ISO button again to “unlatch,” to end the conversation. If either button is held down for more
than a half second, the Headset will function as PTT. All Headsets/Beltpacs/Speaker Stations can be
unlatched by the base station operator, by pressing the UNLATCH button on the base station.
NOTE: In Hands-Free mode, pressing the IC1 or IC2 button while latched in ISO will latch on IC.
Pressing the ISO button while latched in IC will latch on ISO.
