Radio & Intercom Function
Sets the function of the PTT and Intercom.
Radio Transmit: For Radio PTT, when the Headset has a DECT connection, the PTT
will activate only the DECT Radio wireless connection. When the Headset does not
have a DECT connection, the PTT will activate the AUX Radio wired connection.
Intercom: This configures how the PTT and Noise Gate interact with each other
while a person is talking with their local wireless team. If you can hear yourself
through the side tone, others can hear you.

DECT Bandwidth ("DECT Wide")
Factory Setting
Options:
“DECT Wide”
 “DECT Wide" – Better sound quality.
 “DECT Narrow” – Better resistance to interference.
"Radio On" or "Radio Off"
Enabling this setting makes the headset read out RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indicator) numbers that tell you how strong the connection to The Base Station or
Comhub is. This can be used to improve system installations.
Mic Sensitivity
The Mic sensitivity may be configured into multiple modes of operation to tailor to
the user’s application.
 To turn on the microphone always use “Mic ON”. This disables the Mic noise
gate completely. A whisper will be heard by all.
 "Mic Auto" settings are automatic noise gates with increasing sensitivities.
 "Mic XX" settings are for stable SPL environments of increasing volume.
 Firecom 30XXR and 10 series intercoms require specific Mic Sensitivity settings
for correct operation. "Firecom 4", "Firecom 5", and "Firecom 6", are tailored
specifically to work with these Legacy Intercoms. Use with other mic sensitivity
settings will result in poor audio quality and clipped communications.
 When the user presses the Radio PTT, any noise gate will be removed.
