Page Buttons
There are two Page button styles, normal or default (pictured above), and PTT or push-to-talk. The Page
button style is set in the MapGUI Options, and that setting will determine how the Page button will work.
For most situations, the Normal (default) setting is the desired mode of operation. The Page button
operation is very simple and intuitive, but as stated above, the button itself will give the user a visual
indicator as to what they should do while trying to initiate a page.
The Page button styles are discussed in further detail below.
Normal (default)
In this mode of operation, the Page button latches once the request is sent. When the Page button turns
green, the audio input source is ready for the page. The Page button is pressed and released to end the
page.
The image below shows the various states of the Page button when the Page button style is set to Normal.
Default (idle) state.
This is the appearance of the Page
button in its default style when the Page
Control Panel is first expanded.
A destination has already been selected,
and the button is pressed to initiate a
Page. There is a half second delay
(color filling up) before the page
request is sent.
Releasing the Page button during this
state cancels the page request.
The orange color has filled the button,
and the request has been sent to the
server. Release the Page button, and
wait for the Page button to turn green to
begin speaking.
When the “Page in Progress” is shown,
you may speak into your input device.
When you are finished paging, press
and release the button again.
