ABouT STudIo VS. SCreener ModeS

The control surface can be set for two major modes of operation: STUDIO and SCREENER. Note that 

the legend to the right side of the buttons can be removed and flipped to show the current mode. The 
differences:

In STUDIO Mode, the CS can put calls On-Air. In SCREENER Mode, it can’t.

In STUDIO Mode, the top row of buttons has a dual function. If the handset is 
picked up, the top button will route the call to the handset. After the call is on the 
handset, the same button is used to place the call On-Hold.

In SCREENER Mode, the top row is only for handset, and the second row is for On-Hold.

If you only have one CS, STUDIO mode is the best choice.
