Operations
After installation is complete, turn on the power to the unit.
Set the volume controls to the desired levels for the main/
auxiliary and lane speakers by adjusting the volume control
knobs along the left side of the unit.
Press and hold the PUSH TO TALK lever (the large button
on the side of the microphone), hold the mic a few inches
away from your mouth, and speak directly into it. When not
speaking into the microphone, release the PUSH TO TALK
lever (Figure 11).
To activate the horn start system, depress and hold the
PUSH TO TALK lever on the side of the microphone. While
maintaining the pressure on the lever, momentarily depress
the small button on the top of the microphone. After the
start tone has sounded, release both buttons.
After a race has been started, the RECALL LED ashes for 18 seconds. During this time,
the horn start is in the recall mode. To sound the recall signal, depress the PUSH TO TALK
lever on the side of the microphone and the small button on top of the microphone
simultaneously. The recall signal can be muted. If the recall signal does not sound, or if it
sounds when it is not supposed to, refer to Section 4: Troubleshooting (p�14).
