When in Talk Back mode, the 3.5 mm headphone jack has its own dedicated gain. To set levels, hold
the Slate switch and turn the Headphone Controller. In Talk Back mode, press and hold the Battery
Check button and the Slate switch to use the slate as an “all call”. This temporarily returns the Slate
Mic to normal operation. That is, regular program audio will be muted and the slate mic signal will
be sent to all outputs. If the slate mic is disabled in the Setup Menu, the “all call” is also disabled.
