it should not need to be registered again unless it is intentionally removed.

Add Headsets (G5 and/or XT-1)

Each headset has a unique identification number. The number is imprinted on the headset and 

broadcast to the base station whenever it is turned on.

Note: 

A single headset should not be registered to more than one basestation at any given site, whether or not the 

bases are interconnected. Remove the headset from the existing basestation before adding it to a different one.

Change Basic Volume Settings

Note: 

All volume settings should be adjusted during normal or peak business hours. Adjusting them during slow

Inbound and outbound are always defined from the perspective of the headset.

the resulting level; therefore, if it is the same as the day volume level, the speaker will turn off at night. You 

cannot change the day outbound talk volume on this screen, only the reduction amount identified above.

Change the Monitor Volume

The monitor is an additional speaker that can be used to monitor drive-thru communication 

without a headset, typically in the kitchen. If the monitor has a volume control built into it, you 

can use it to control the overall volume level of the speaker. To be more specific about which 

elements you want to control, follow the instructions below.
