SETTING UP THE VITALINQ™ SYSTEM
2.1
Description of the VITALINQ™ system
Refer to Section 6 “INSTALLATION” for installation instructions.
The Vitalinq™ is very easy to use and versatile. The standard system is composed of a pair of
music speakers and a communication speaker in both the procedure and control rooms. The
speakers are mounted overhead in the ceiling. The procedure room also has a microphone
mounted to the monitor (or monitor array) opposite the physician. The control room is
where the console is located and is where all devices are ultimately connected. Also in the
control room and plugged into the console, are a desk microphone and a headset. One desk
microphone and one headset are included with each system.
On the front of the console are controls for the music system and controls for talking and
listening to the procedure room. At the rear of the console are several jacks and a thumbnail
adjustable control for the headset talk volume. Words in
BLUE
throughout this document refer
to labels on the console.
The
LISTEN
control and
HEADSET
jack on each side of the front of the console work
together. There is an in-line mute switch provided with each headset to mute the headset
microphone when desired. If preferred, a foot switch can be used instead of the in-line mute
switch. Contact Customer Support if you would prefer to use a foot switch.
The volume of the headset earpiece is adjusted using the
LISTEN
volume control located
adjacent to the
HEADSET
jack. The volume for the procedure room communication speaker
(used to transmit speech from the control room) is controlled by the
HEADSET TALK
VOLUME
switch located on the rear of the console.
The
CONTROL ROOM LOUDSPEAKER
region at the center on the front of the console is
for control of the desk microphone and ceiling speaker in the control room. In this section
is an overhead
LISTEN VOLUME
control for controlling the volume of the control room
communication speaker. The
BUTTON
and
TALK VOLUME
in this area are only used during
setup.
The LED on the front of the console illuminates when there is power to the system.
