If several channels are being listened to at the same time, it might be desirable
to adjust the individual listen levels of each channel for the desired mix.
Talking on Intercom Channels
To talk on an intercom channel, press the desired talk button. Pressing and
holding the button will cause the function to be active only while the button is
held (momentary). Pressing and releasing the button quickly will cause the
function to latch on if it was off or turn off if it was on (latching).
The latching function can be defeated on an individual channel with an option
DIP switch beneath the access panel (latch disable DIP switch).
The button will be illuminated blue when the talk function is off and amber

Another option allows the automatic setting of a listen function whenever a
