BeltStation Setup
The BeltStation can be congured in three ways. It can be congured by the BeltStation menu, wirelessly by the BaseStation menu, or using
the PC interface called T-Desk. While many functions are available through all three methods, certain features are only available through the
BeltStation. See T-Desk manual for details on conguring by PC.
Congure the BeltStation by the BeltStation Menu
Using a combination of controls and Menu settings, you can set a variety of levels and options directly from the BeltStation controls. The
multipurpose “CH A” and “CH B” controls operate differently depending on the mode of the BeltStation. In Operational Mode, rotating the
control adjusts the volume of the audio of the local headset connected into the bottom of the BeltStation. Turning the Volume control clockwise
increases the audio level while turning the control counter clockwise decreases the level.
Pressing the “CH A” or “CH B” while in “Dual-listen” mode does nothing. In “Single-listen”, pressing the “CH A” controls enables channel A.
Pressing the “CH B” knob enables channel B. The intercom channel selected is indicated by the Channel Indicator LEDs located on the outer
edge of each talk button, “TALK A” and “TALK B.”
In Menu Mode, turning either Volume control allows the user to scroll through the menu options of the current menu screen. Pressing either
control selects the current menu option and is the same as pressing ENTER. A menu item is not selected and will not take affect until the
control, or ENTER, is pressed.
For example, to adjust the Sidetone setting:
• Connect a headset to the BeltStation.
• Press MENU to enter Menu Mode.
• Rotate the Volume knob and scroll to “Set Controls.”
• Press ENTER to select, and scroll to “Sidetone.”
• Press ENTER to select the “Sidetone” adjustment.
Sidetone is expressed in Decibels (dB). You will see a level indicator with a numeric value between -30dB to -6dB. You should speak into the
headset microphone at a normal speaking level and adjust the sound of your own voice to a comfortable level by rotating either volume knob to
adjust the Sidetone level. When satised, press ENTER to save the adjustment. Press MENU to move up one level in the menu tree. Press MENU
repeatedly to exit Menu Mode and return to Operational Mode. If no other items are selected, Menu Mode will automatically exit and return to
Operation Mode after a few seconds.
For additional information on the available BeltStation menu settings, see the menu tree diagram and details in this manual.
Congure the BeltStation by the BaseStation Interface
Many of the settings of the BeltStation can be adjusted wirelessly from the BaseStation. On the BaseStation, press MENU, select BeltStation
Settings, and scroll to the required options. This feature allows the communications engineer to control many of the BeltStation’s functions
without the need to remove the BeltStation from the user. As an example, to adjust the Battery Alert on a BeltStation from the BaseStation:
• On the BaseStation, press MENU to enter Menu Mode.
• Rotate the Volume knob to scroll to “BeltStation Settings” and press ENT.
• Select the BeltStation to be adjusted and press ENT.
• Scroll to “Battery Alert” and press ENT to select the “Battery Alert” adjustment.
You will see options for ON and OFF. Rotate the “Volume” knob to select your preference and press ENTER to select. Conrm the selection
on the BeltStation display. Press MENU to move up one level in the menu tree. Press MENU repeatedly to exit Menu Mode and return to
Operational Mode. If no other items are selected, Menu Mode will automatically exit after one minute.
