4.4 Operation
4.4.1 Operation of listening area
The listening area, on the left side of the unit, is the
area used to monitor the floor or the interpretation
channels. It includes a built-in loudspeaker, a headset
socket and the corresponding control buttons and
knobs. This intuitive layout is helpful for the interpreters
to familiarize with the interpreter unit quickly.
1. Channel language is the language arranged for a
channel in the CMU configuration. For example, 10
languages are configured and we setup channel 1 as
Chinese, channel 2 as English, etc. This setting is to
simplify the work of the interpreters and to make
labels for all selectable languages for all
participators.
2. If the microphone of every interpreter unit in this
booth is turned off, he/she can monitor any language
from the built-in loudspeaker
②
and adjust the
volume with the “Loudspeaker volume control knob”
①
. When a microphone in this booth is activated, the
loudspeaker of every interpreter unit in this booth will
mute automatically. Now the interpreter can listen
with the earphone and adjust the volume, treble and
bass with the “Earphone volume control knob”
④
,
“Earphone bass control knob”
⑤
and “Earphone
treble control knob”
⑥
which are located on the left
lower side.
3. If the interpreter wants to listen to another channel
language, he/she can select the preset channel
language with the “Monitor channel switch button
(1/2/3/4/5/6/7)”. If the channel language is not preset,
he/she can select the channel language by pressing
the button (1/2/3/4/5/6/7) and turning the Function
knob
⑲
.
4. If the speaker speaks too fast and if the interpreter
cannot follow him/her, the interpreter can press the
“SLOW” button to remind the speaker to slow down.
If the discussion unit is equipped with an LCD, the
message “Please speak slower!” will be displayed
(activated when reached requisite number in given
time).
5. If the interpreter missed the speaker’s speech,
he/she can press the input channel audio playback
key (REP) to playback missed words and “REP:6S”
will be displayed on the LCD. The playback time
ranges between 2 s - 8 s.
6. Quality indication: The second line of the display
shows the qualities of the interpretations on the
channels that are assigned to the pre-select buttons
of the interpreter unit. This logo is used to remind the
interpreter to avoid using the relay translation if direct
translation is available.
