The way each operates depends on the
selected configuration. Three LED indica-
tors are located adjacent to the buttons.
They reflect the status of the main and
talkback output functions.
Main Output Button and LED Indicators
The button on the left, factory labeled
as COUGH, functions according to the
selected configuration. Two LED indica-
tors, located directly above the button, are
associated with the status of the main out-
put. The green LED, located on the right,
is lit whenever the main output is active.
This could be considered as an “on-air” or
mic active indicator. At the least it should
serve as a “careful what you say” warn-
ing! If the Model 210’s system mode is
configured to on-air, the red LED, located
on the left, will be lit when the main output
is muted. This indicates that it’s safe to
speak as one sees fit.
If the Model 210’s system mode is config-
ured to production, the red LED will never
light. This is to reflect the fact that the main
output button has now taken on a function
similar to that of the talkback output but-
ton. To clarify, when the Model 210 is set
to the production mode, the red LED will
never light; the green LED will light when-
ever the main output is active.
Main Output Button Modes
• Push to mute: If this mode is selected
the main output is normally active. The
main output will mute whenever the but-
ton is pressed and held.
• Push to talk: If this mode is selected
the main output is normally muted. The
main output will become active when-
ever the button is pressed and held.
• Alternate action: If this mode is selected
the main output will alternate between
its active and muted states whenever
the button is pressed. Upon power up
the main output will be in its muted
state.
• Hybrid: This mode is a combination
of push to talk and alternate action. It’s
similar to the way talk buttons function
on user stations associated with broad-
cast or production intercom systems.
If the button is pressed and held, the
main output will become active until
the button is released. If the button is
momentarily “tapped” the main out-
put will change state. Upon Model 210
power up the main output will be in
its muted state.
Main Output vis-à-vis Talkback Activity
This short section applies only in the case
where the Model 210’s system mode is
configured for on-air and the main output
button mode is set to alternate action or
hybrid.
Talkback activity will always cause the
main output to be placed in its off state.
If the main output was in the “latched”
on state when talkback began, once talk-
back activity ends that state will resume;
the main output will again be in its on
(“latched”) state.
Talkback Output Button and LED
Indicator
The button on the right, factory labeled
TALKBACK, controls the talkback output.
The manner in which the talkback button
functions depends on the way it was con-
figured. One LED indicator, green in color,
is located directly above the talkback but-
ton. It lights whenever the talkback output
is active. If the Model 210’s system mode
