These buttons can be used for control of equipment external to the Telos phone
system. For instance the ?#@! button may control your obscenity delay dump, etc.
Your Chief Engineer is your best source for information on how the following
buttons operate in your facility.
(user button) – Check with your Chief Engineer to find out if this button is
connected to something. It is typically used to control a piece of equipment external
to the TWOx12 such as the “delay dump” on an obscenity delay unit.
(record control) – Again, check with your chief engineer to determine if this
button is setup to control something. This button is used generally used in
conjunction with an external recorder. Pressing this button once would normally
cause the recorder to start. The LED next to this button should now illuminate.
Pressing the record control button again will normally cause the recorder to Stop. The
LED next to this button should now go out.
6.4.3 PLACING CALLERS ON-AIR – Single caller
To place a caller on-air, push the appropriate Line button for the phone line on
which the caller is located. The left Line button will place the call on the Caller 1
Fader (sometimes called Phone 1) while the right Line button will place him/her
on the Caller 2 Fader (sometimes called Phone 2).
Note that if the line has already been screened, the Screened symbol (a check
mark) will be displayed. If the caller has not been screened the Hold symbol or
Ringing symbol will be displayed. Once you select the line the ICON will change
to an arrow indicating it is on the Caller 1 <- or Caller 2 -> fader. The line may
be dropped or placed on hold by using the buttons below the row indicated by the
arrow. If you select another line on the same column, the line selected earlier will
be dropped unless the line is placed in locked mode.
