Setup of TEAM McTalk 446
Removing and mounting of the belt clip ( 16 )
Removing: Turn the unit that way that the rear panel lies in front of
you. The latch of the belt clip is located near the headset sockets
SP./MIC/CHG ( 15 ). Pull the latch with the finger nail towards you
and hold it for a moment. Push the belt clip at the same time towards
the top of the antenna ( 1 ). Then you can take it off.
Mounting: Insert the belt clip from above into its
sliding bar on the rear panel of the unit. Then
push the clip towards the unit’s bottom side until
the belt clip latch clicks into place.
Inserting the batteries
Turn the unit that way that the rear panel lies in front of you. The
locking of the battery compartment lid ( 8 ) is located at the bottom
side of the unit. Push the locking aside and turn it down. Then, you
can take off the lid.
Now, insert 4 alkaline or rechargeable AAA ( = Micro ) cells into the
battery compartment according to the polarity signs inside. If you
use rechargeable cells we recommend the NiMH type.
To close the battery compartment ( 8 ) put the lid
onto the compartment in that way that the guide
bolt at the top of the lid grips into the guide hole
at the top of the battery compartment.
Finally secure the lid by pushing the locking on
it until it snaps in the battery compartment.
Operation of TEAM McTalk 446
1) Switching On/Off
Depress the On/Off key ( 13 ) for about 1 or 2 seconds to switch
the transceiver on. You can hear two short receipt tones from the
English
speaker ( 7 ). For the period of the tones the display ( 2 ) shows all
symbols. Now the unit is in receive mode. When the unit is
switched on, the first time after the batteries have been inserted,
the channel number will be channel 1 ( = 446,00625 MHz ). To
switch the unit off, depress the On/Off key ( 13 ) again for about
1 or 2 seconds. The speaker gives a long tone and all symbols dis-
appear from the display. The last settings remain memorised.
2) Battery level indicator
The battery symbol on the upper right side in the display shows the
battery level. As long as both bars are visible inside the symbol,
the batteries are still strong enough. If the supply voltage drops
below 4.4 V, the left bar disappears. If the supply voltage drops
below 4.1 V, the other bar disappears also. Now, the battery sym-
bol is blinking and in the loudspeaker you will hear every 5 sec-
onds a warning melody. That means that you have to change or
charge the batteries. The unit will automatically shut off if the sup-
ply voltage drops below 3.7 V. The McTalk 446 is equipped with a
battery save function. If there is no signal on the actual channel for
at least 6 seconds, and if no key is pressed during this period, the
battery save function starts to work. While this function is active
the unit checks the actual channel for incoming signals in regular
intervals. The current consumption in the power down mode drops
down to 13 mA. But if you don’t use the unit it is better to switch it
off. If you won’t use the unit for a longer period, we recommend to
take the batteries out of the battery compartment.
3) Volume level adjustment
The bars meter in the lower right side of the display shows the
currently adjusted volume level. Press the up key
▲
( 3 ) to
increase the volume level adjustment for one step. Press the
down key
▼
( 4 ) to decrease the volume level adjustment for one
step. Pressing the keys for one second will make the volume level
adjustment change quickly. The height of the confirmation tones
depends from the currently adjusted volume level. At the end of
