If the mic ophone is activated, its associated LED will light up and this icon, will show in the
display: ,and on the othe hand, if it is disabled, its associated LED will tu n off and will not
show the icon in the display.
The MIC switch has two ope ation modes. When this switch is p essed quickly the mic ophone
changes its state, if it was enabled, upon being p essed it gets disabled and tu ns off the
associated LED, and if it was disabled, upon being p essed gets enabled and tu ns on the
associated LED.
When the MIC switch is p essed and held, the unit will ente in the special function PUSH TO
TALK, this means that the mic ophone will be enabled until the switch is eleased.
The unit p ovides a MIC-KILL (tu ns off the MIC) system, so that when the mic is enabled it is
possible to muted it by the MIC-KILL function of the base station ALTAIR WBP-200 o a maste station
EF-200, connected to the base station. This MIC-KILL system is compatible with othe inte com
systems of the ma ket.
The state of the MIC (on/off), it is sto ed in the unit.
3.3 CHANNEL SELECTION SWITCHES
The main function of this switch is to select the
ope ation channel you want to communicate.
Selected channel is indicated on the indicato lamps A/B and the
OLED Display: . P essing this switch, if it was selected, deselected and vice ve sa, with the
condition that should always be selected a channel (A o B, o both at the same time), so if you only
have selected A and p ess A, not deselect as always should be selected at least one channel.
Channel selection affects the beltpack functions as desc ibed:
MIC: The beltpack mic signal is feed to the selected channel indicated by the lamps. You can adjust
you mic level by menu o by p essing the mic switch and change its gain with the up-down
a ows.
LISTENING The listening channel depends also of the selected channel indicated by the lamps and
by the OLED display: . By selecting AB, you can listen both channels simultaneously. A balance
listening between channels is allowed in each of the 3 possible selections A, AB and B. By using
this balance, you can listening the opposite channel at a small, say 20 % level, helping
management of both channel c ews at a time.
CALL The sending Call channel is the indicated on the lamps and in the OLED display. When AB is
selected, a Call is sent to both channels. The eceiving channel Call is also shown on the AB lamps
by flashing acco dingly. As the selected channel is obviously not automated, you must go to that
channel if you a e in the opposite channel in o de to communicate with him.
