Tap Latch When you select Tap Latch, the beltpack’s microphone latches when
you simply tap the talk button once. The microphone “locks” on, so that even
after you release the talk button, the microphone is on. To turn the microphone
off, quickly press and release the talk button again.
Double-Tap Latch When you select Double-Tap Latch, the beltpack’s
microphone latches when you tap the talk button twice in quick succession. To
turn the microphone off, press and release the talk button again.
Latch at Power Up When you select Latch at Power Up, the beltpack’s
microphone latches as the beltpack powers up. To release the latch, press and
release the talk button.
Use this option only for environments in which you know that headsets are not
left connected after powering down a system, because acoustic leakage and
feedback can result when the system is powered back up.
Always Latched When you select Always Latched, the beltpack’s microphone
locks on permanently. Pressing the talk button has no effect.
As with the previous option, you should use this option only for environments in
which you know that headsets are not left connected at power down, because
acoustic leakage and feedback can result when the system is powered back up.
You cannot use the remote-mic kill option when you activate Always Latched.
No Operation When you select No Operation, pressing the beltpack’s talk
button cannot turn on the microphone. This feature allows you to make the
beltpack “listen-only.”
REMOTE MICROPHONE KILL (RMK) OPTION FOR A SINGLE-CHANNEL
BELTPACK
If a beltpack user removes his or her headset without turning the microphone off,
noise from the surrounding area can make it difficult for other beltpack users on
the same channel to hear each other. The Remote Microphone Kill (RMK)
function allows you to turn a beltpack’s microphone off from a remote location
to prevent this from occurring.
You usually send a remote-mic kill signal from the main station. The signal
releases every latched talk button on every beltpack on the channel.
Figure 4 shows the Remote Mic Kill area of the Beltpack Setup screen. By
default, this feature is turned on. To turn off the Remote Mic Kill feature, clear
the check box by clicking it.
