Talk Button and Light
This button transmits the headset or gooseneck microphone audio to
the selected talk/listen panel/interface or the answer-back label. The
talk button has a dual action (momentary or latching) depending upon
how the button is pressed. The Talk button Latch/Non-Latching
operation cannot be defeated in ECS even for latch disabled labels.
The following describes the various functions of this button:
• Momentary—Press and hold the talk button while speaking.
Release it when finished. The light will be illuminated when the
button is pressed.
• Latching—Press and release the button quickly to latch the talk
function. Press and release the button again to turn off the talk
function. The light will be illuminated while the button is latched.
• Talk indication—The associated talk light will illuminate green
when the talk function is activated.
• VOX indication—When the VOX feature is enabled, the talk light
will illuminate green when the talk function is activated, but will
turn red when the panel microphone is in use. This automatically
dips the speaker volume.
• Speaker dip—If the front-panel speaker is turned on and the VOX
feature is not used, pressing the talk button will reduce the
speaker output level to avoid feedback.
