7.3.4 Using the beltpack to communicate
The beltpack has four keys labelled A, B, C, D and Reply. You can program each
of these keys to determine their communication destinations, and the type of
communication possible. For example, a key could be programmed to call a
partyline channel, with both talk and listen enabled. You can program the
beltpack keys by using:
The Eclipse HX software. For more information, see the Eclipse HX
Configuration Software User Guide.
The FreeSpeak II Configuration Editor. For more information, see 10 FS
II Configuration Editor.
The FreeSpeak II Base station.
To talk to all the devices connected to the channel:
1) Connect a headset, using the 4-pin XLR–M connector on the base / rear of
the beltpack.
2) Press the appropriate key.
While the key is held down audio transmits on that channel. When the key
is released audio no longer transmits. To latch a key on for hands-free
use, quickly tap the key. Another quick tap releases the latch.
3) Speak into the headset microphone.
To adjust the volume of incoming audio for a channel, turn the
appropriate side-mounted rotary control. Turn the rotary control
clockwise to increase the volume, and counter-clockwise to decrease
volume. The current volume level for the channel is shown on screen.
