CALL SIGNALING OPTIONS FOR A SINGLE-CHANNEL BELTPACK
When you press a beltpack’s call button, the beltpack sends an electronic signal
on the intercom line that causes a visual or audible signal to occur on the other
beltpacks on that intercom line. The signal can be sent to cue other beltpack
users to perform an action, or it can be sent to activate a device such as a relay or
radio transmitter.
You can customize how a beltpack sends and receives call signals by selecting
options in the Call Signaling area of the Operations Options screen. The
following sections describe the options for single-channel beltpacks.
Figure 2 shows the call signaling options for a single-channel beltpack, with the
two default options, “Call Button,” and “Steady Call Light,” selected. The
factory programs the default options into all single-channel beltpacks, so that a
beltpack is ready to operate when you receive it.

Call Button Selecting the Call Button check box turns on the beltpack’s
call-signaling capability. You can send a call signal by pressing the beltpack’s call
button. If you clear the check box by clicking it, you cannot send a call signal
from the beltpack.
Steady Call Light When you select the Steady Call Light check box, the
beltpack’s call light remains on for the duration of the call signal.
Flashing Call Light When you select the Flashing Call Light check box, the
beltpack’s call light flashes for the duration of the call signal.
Call Light Dim When you select the Call Light Dim check box, the beltpack’s
call light does not glow as brightly as usual for the duration of the call signal,
regardless of whether the light is steady or flashing.
The Call Light Dim feature saves current in high power-demand environments.
It also helps in preventing the momentarily impaired vision some people
experience after viewing a bright light in a darkened environment.
Call Tone When you select the Call Tone check box, a beeping tone sounds in
the beltpack’s headset for the duration of the call signal. The beeping tone does
not sound in the initiating caller’s headset. The call tone’s audio level is preset and
independent of the other listen level settings.
Call on Talk When you select the Call-on-Talk check box, the beltpack sends a
call signal on the intercom channel each time you press the talk button for that
