Figure 6: Gooseneck Microphone
The desk microphone can be attached to a horizontal surface or left freestanding so that the dispatcher
can pick it up. The 18-inch long, flexible shaft allows the dispatcher to position the microphone head
within a few inches of their mouth even when the base is placed behind a keyboard or writing area.
If a desk microphone is connected to a dispatch console while no headsets are connected, the desk
microphone is active whenever any transmit function is active.
Each MCC 7100 Dispatch Console can support one desktop microphone.
If a desk microphone is connected to a dispatch console while one or two headsets are connected, the
desk microphone is active only during a transmit function when the dispatcher presses the transmit
button on it. This solution prevents the desk microphone from picking up unwanted background sound
when the dispatcher uses a headset to transmit.
Footswitch
Each MCC 7100 IP Dispatch Console can support one footswitch.
The footswitch provides two foot pedals in a rugged, metal housing with a 10-ft cable. One pedal is for
the general transmit feature and the other pedal is for the monitor feature.
The footswitch allows a dispatch operator to operate these features with their feet so their hands are
freed for other tasks.
If necessary, the footswitch can be permanently fastened to the floor.
