8.2. Initiating Priority Speech (TS-901, TS-801, TS-911, and TS-811 only)
Step 1. Speak while holding down the Priority Speech key.
Both the Speech indicator and the Microphone
In-Use indicator light, placing the unit in priority
speech mode. No sound is output from the monitor
speaker while both indicators are continuously lit.
A chime tone* sounds at other units, preventing
them from being used for speaking.
* The chime tone can be enabled or disabled using
the Priority Chime Mute switch located on the
bottom side of the unit.
ON: No chime sounds.
OFF: Chime sounds. (Factory-preset position)
Note
When two or more Chairman units are used in a
system, a priority speech currently in progress from
one unit can be interrupted by pressing the Priority
Speech key of another Chairman unit, allowing the
latter unit to go through. (Last-in-first-out priority)
Step 2. Release the Priority Speech key after speech
completion.
Both indicators go out, and sound can be output
from the monitor speaker.
Note
After the priority speech is completed, the
other interrupted unit resumes operation as
predetermined by the setting of the Interrupted
Priority Operation Setting switch located on the
bottom side of the unit.
RESTORE: Resumes the unit's mode prior to
being interrupted by the priority
speech.
RESET:
Resets all units currently being
used for speech (Factory-preset
position).
When an interrupted party wishes
to continue to speak, the Speech
key must again be pressed.
Note
The Chairman unit that initiated the priority speech
automatically returns to its original mode following
priority speech completion, regardless of its priority
Operation Setting switch setting.

The Chairman unit features the function that allows its speech to take precedence over that of the Delegate unit.
The Chairman unit's speech is prior to the AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3, MIC 1, and MIC 2 inputs.
The priority speech method can be determined by the Priority speech key operation setting switch built in the
Chairman unit’s bottom.
