EAP01 - Product Manual 2 Operation 2.
EAP01 - Product Manual 1 Fist Microphone with integral PTT button When the PTT button is pressed it activates the All-Call zone selection, opens the microphone channel, and triggers the pre-announcement chime (if programmed at the Router), ready for the paging announcement. When the PTT button is released, the microphone channel is closed and the routes are terminated. 2 STATUS Indicator (green) This flashes if the EAP01 is powered and healthy.
EAP01 - Product Manual 2.2 Live Announcements via the Fist Microphone 1. Access the internal front panel by unlocking and opening the cabinet door with the associated KABA key. 2. Unhook the Fist Microphone from its retaining clip. ! The PTT switch is located on the side of the fistmicrophone, and care should be taken whilst removing the microphone from its mounting clip to avoid accidentally pressing the PTT switch prematurely. 3.
EAP01 - Product Manual 6. When the chime has finished (if programmed at the Router), SPEAK NOW the SPEAK NOW LED will illuminate. If no chime has been programmed then the SPEAK NOW indicator will illuminate immediately. ON Once the SPEAK NOW indicator has illuminated you can make the announcement.
