Using the hailer with talk-back
While in hailer mode the hailer can also be used as a
microphone. For details how to set the talk-back mode see
Hailer and Fog horn setup
on page 47. Once set up talk-back is
activated when you are in hailer mode and the PTT button is released.
When talk-back is active your crew can talk to you via the loudhailer horn unit
into the loudspeakers. The talk-back volume can be independently adjusted
on the volume knob while talk-back is active (TB Volume). If a signal is
received on the radio while in talk-back mode, the received radio signal will
be heard in the speakers. The received radio signal will be reproduced with
the normal volume level.
Important
When the hailer is in talk-back mode and a radio signal is
received, the radio signal has a higher priority and is heard in
the loudspeaker.
