Drop, Hold, and Hold Ready Buttons
Drop disconnects a call that is ringing, active on the handset, or on-air. If more than one line is in this
category, they will all be highlighted. Press the line that you want to drop. Or select the line you want to drop
to highlight it and then press Drop.
Hold puts a call that is ringing, active on the handset, or on-air into hold. If more than one line is in this
category, they will all be highlighted. Press the line that you want to hold. Or select the line you want to hold
to highlight it and then press Hold.
Hold Ready puts a call that is ringing, on-air, on the handset, or on hold to the hold ready (screened) state.
Lock/Unlock Button and Function
Normally, taking a call to air causes any others on-air to be dropped. If you need to conference two or more
calls, you can use the lock function.
Press an already on-air line button to lock it. The line status icon will change to display the locked symbol.
Pressing the button again unlocks the line and the lock icon goes away.
Locked calls remain on-air until unlocked and then another call is taken to air or the call is explicitly
dropped or held.
The Drop and Hold buttons have no effect on a locked line.
Fader Assign Buttons
Normally, when a call is taken, it goes to “fader 1”, but you can assign it to the other console fader.
Next Button and Function
The Talent next priority is:
1.
longest waiting ready hold
2.
longest waiting hold
3.
longest ringing-in
The producer can manually override these and assign priority as desired.
The producer priority is:
1.
longest ringing-in
