Manual Null
Generally Auto-Null will adequately control the inherent echo caused by the 2-wire hybrid circuitry. However, “Manual
Null” is available if there is residual echo.
If echo persist aer tesng for at least thirty seconds:
1. Turn o all TALK buons on wireless and wired equipment. Since Tempest analyzes a tone to adjust the Null characteriscs,
any sounds entering through the wired or wireless systems will interfere with the nulling process.
2. Press MENU and advance to the “Manual Null” screen.
3. Press CHAN SEL to advance to the desired channel.
4. Rotate the “IN” knob to adjust the “RBAL” null value unl the “Amplitude” is minimized.
5. Rotate the “OUT” knob to adjust the “CBAL” value unl the “Amplitude” is minimized.
6. Repeat the “RBAL” and “CBAL” adjustment. The repeat process and order of adjustment of the process is important because
the “CBAL” adjustment is most eecve when the “RBAL” is close to its absolute minimum.
7. Once the best null is achieved, turn the “IN” knob clockwise to add ten to the “RBAL” value. For example, if the minimum
“RBAL” value is 123, adjust to 133.
8. Exit the Manual Null screen. Test for echo for at least 10 seconds. It will take up to 10 seconds for echo cancellaon soware
to achieve maximum eciency.
If the echo is not acceptable, use the IN knob to adjust the “RBAL” null value up one and test again. If necessary, turn the
“RBAL” value down two and test again. Connue with this trial and error method unl the echo is minimized.
Manual Null requires each channel to be nulled individually. Return to the Null Screen and press CHAN SEL to advance to
the next channel. Repeat for all channels.
Other Causes of Echo
Please be aware that echo can be cause by several sources. A type of echo referred to as acousc echo can be caused by
another user’s headset, but is inaudible to that user. Have other users turn o their TALK buon and determine if the echo
stops. Acousc echo is minimized by soware resident in each BeltStaon. Acousc echo may be migated by decreasing
the mic gain, sidetone or volume on the headset causing the echo. Occasionally it is necessary to replace headsets that
connually cause unacceptable echo.
If a user removes his headset, the Mic may detect and repeat the sound from the earpiece. Whenever a headset is removed,
always turn o the Talk funcon.
