9 To set or change the talker-mode setting:
The Talker Mode option lets you select when announcements are given during and
after train passage. The talk-freely mode is the normal talker mode. In this mode, the
system makes announcements even when defects aren't detected. In talk-on-defect
mode, the system makes announcements only when a defect is detected. If you don't
select a talker mode, it defaults to talk-freely.
If a SmartScanIS is in Poll/Standalone mode and doesn't receive a valid poll for five
minutes, Talker Mode changes to talk-freely mode. No change occurs when the
system already operates in talk-freely mode. The next time a valid poll is received,
Talker Mode reverts to the mode that was active before it was changed. If another
valid poll isn't received, the system stays in talk-freely mode.
