1. POWER Switch
Press the upper part of the switch to turn the power on. A light on the switch will be lit when the base station
power is on. Press the lower part of the switch to turn the power off. The light will go off. All settings are
preserved when the power is turned off, and will be restored when the power is turned on again.
2. Beltpac, WH200 Headset or Speaker Station Registration Controls and Status Indicator
Use these controls to register each Beltpac, WH200 Headset and/or Speaker Station used with a specific base
station, as described on pages 11 - 18.
3. UNLATCH Button
Use this button to unlatch all Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station transmitters. (Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station
users can “latch” their units on, to talk and listen to each other in the Hands-free mode. Base station operators
can use the UNLATCH button to stop Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station conversations.)
4. IC (Intercom) and ISO (Isolate) Receiver Indicators and Controls
Lights indicate whether Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station reception is IC or ISO. Use IC and ISO controls to
independently adjust IC and ISO receive levels.
NOTE: This adjustment does not affect communication between Beltpacs, Headsets and Speaker Stations.
5. Local Headset Connector, Indicators and Controls
• Adjust the microphone level control, above the TALK button on the front panel, to mid-point. The
level can be readjusted during use, as needed.
• Adjust the receive level by turning on a Beltpac/Headset/Speaker Station, speaking into the
microphone and listening through the local headset earpiece while adjusting the VOLUME control on
the base station to the desired level.
• With either the 2W/4W or 4W ONLY button engaged, use the SELECT button to select
communication via IC or ISO+ connectors. Above the SELECT button, the indicator light will be lit
for the selection you made. IC will allow you to communicate via the intercom channel as well as
Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations. If ISO is selected and the ISO+ button has been pressed (See #7 in
the illustration above), you will communicate via the AUX OUT connection as well as to
Beltpacs/Headsets/Speaker Stations.
NOTE: If neither 2W nor 4W is on, this will have no effect. It will stay on ISO.
• For open communication, press and release the TALK button quickly to “latch on.” To “latch off,”
press and release the button again quickly.
• For momentary communication, press and hold the TALK button for more than one second. In this
mode, the selected channel will remain open only as long as you are pressing the TALK button.
• The TALK light indicates the TALK mode is active via the local headset.
• Use the TALK control knob to adjust the outbound audio level from the local headset microphone.
• Use the VOLUME control knob to adjust the input to the local headset earpiece.
