A 2 pin Molex jack is located at the back for
connecting a headphone for listening to the Floor
language or one of the interpreted languages.
This connecter is intended for use, where the
connection to the headphone is remotely from the
front plate, which is only on customised units.
Normal Operation
Channel Selection
Channel selection is done using the channel up and
channel down buttons. Channel numbers can be
from 0 to 31, however the indication in the display
is abbreviations of the language selected i.e. ENG
for English, SWE for Swedish.
The lowest channel (0=FLO) always carries floor
audio and all other channels carry interpreted
languages (or floor if no interpretation is currently
performed on this channel). If fewer than 32
channels are in use only available channels will be
selectable from the channel selector – the channels
are always numbered consecutively. Pressing the
down button when the lowest channel number is
displayed will cause the channel selection to wrap
around to the highest available channel if the
channel wrap parameter is set.
Holding the channel up or down button depressed
will cause the channel numbers to scroll with a
system defined start-up delay, and subsequent
smaller delay between each change in channel
position. These delays are set using system
parameters.
Volume Control
Volume control is done using the volume up and
volume down buttons. The number of volume levels
and the step size in dB between successive levels is
globally defined using system parameters –
however setting the volume level to 0 turns the
headphone/line output off.
When a volume button is depressed the channel
display will be overridden with the current volume
(this is indicated by the black dot in the upper left
corner of the display) if the show volume global
parameter is set. The display will continue to show
the current volume level for a preset time interval
before returning to displaying the channel
information – this time interval is also set globally
using a system parameter.
Voting functionality
Voting functionality is a feature where delegates
