of range, the user will hear the Wireless Handset talk permit tones
followed by the radio BUSY or Out of Range tone.
Charging Confirmation Tone
The Wireless PTT Handset provides the user with a discrete tone
whenever the handset is returned to the charging cradle. This discrete
tone ensures the user has a positive indication that the handset is
charging and seated correctly in the cradle.
Earpiece Operation
The Wireless PTT Handset provides the user with a weather protected
3.5mm earpiece jack to allow use of industry standard earpieces
thereby providing additional privacy of communications. A range
of earpiece styles are available to suit individual user preferences.
Plugging in an earpiece disables the internal loudspeaker.
Headset Accessory
The 6 pin industrial connector at the bottom of the wireless handset
also allows the use of a variety of heavy duty and lightweight
headsets and application specific audio accessories to enhance
your communications capability. Use either the headset/accessory’s
integral PTT or use the wireless handset to transmit. The internal
speaker is immediately disabled when a headset is plugged in.
N.B. See page 8 for safety warning regarding use of headsets.
Accessory Mic Boost
Users can increase an audio accessory’s microphone gain on the
handset models fitted with the Hirose accessory port to cater for
sensitivity requirements or variations in headset manufacturer’s
specifications. To activate the higher sensitivity, the Wireless Handset’s
blue VOLUME UP button should be held down while powering up.
The user will thereafter hear 2 short confirmation beeps at the end of
each start up tone sequence. To revert to normal sensitivity, the unit
should be powered up with the VOLUME DOWN blue button held
down.
NOTE:
This does NOT affect the sensitivity of the handsets normal
internal front cover microphone.
