a number of different ways in which the
unit can function. It’s critical to carefully
review the available options and choose
the ones that best meet the needs of a
specific application. Note that switches
can be changed even while the Model 220
is powered up and operating. The unit’s
operating characteristics will change in
“real-time” in response to configuration
changes.
Main Output Button Mode
Switches SW3-1 and SW3-2 configure
how the main output button functions.
• 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 and 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 output
will change state. Upon power up the
main output will be in its muted state.
Talkback Output 1 Button Mode
Switch SW3-3 configures how the talkback
output 1 button functions.

settings
There are four available modes:
• Push to mute: In this mode the main
output is normally active. The main
output will mute whenever the button
is pressed and held. This is the “cough”
mode typically used for on-air sports
broadcasting applications.
• Push to talk: In this mode the main out-
put is normally muted. The main output
will become active whenever the button
is pressed and held.
• Alternate action: In this mode the main
output will change between its active
and muted state whenever the button
is pressed. Upon power up the main
output will be in its muted state.

push to talk and alternate action. If the
button is pressed and held, talkback
output 1 will become active until the
button is released. If the button is

change state. Upon power up talkback
output 1 will be in its muted state.

back output 2 button functions.
