Name BeltSta ons
Naming BeltSta ons is the same as naming a MasterBelt. See the “Name MasterBelt” for more informa on on naming BeltSta ons.
Adjust Mic Gain
Set the Mic Gain properly to ensure the best audio quality. To set the Mic Gain for the BeltSta on Headset:
1. Press MENU to enter Menu Mode. From the Main Menu, select “Set Controls,” then “Mic Gain.”
2. While at the Mic Gain screen, talk into the headset microphone at a louder than normal level and adjust the Volume control
un l the PEAK LEDs just start to light at the loudest parts of the audio. Press ENT to accept the changes.
Mic Gain can be set in the BeltSta on without ac va ng the Talk bu on. This allows private mic gain adjustment during
live events.
When the Mic Gain is set too high, it is possible to induce feedback or echo. When set too low, words can be clipped by
the low level noise gate or sound too quiet to other listeners. Headsets by diff erent manufacturers or diff erent models
of headsets will require widely varying Mic Gain se ngs. When se ng microphone gain, it is best to err toward a se ng
that is too low, rather than too high. This will help reduce unwanted echo in the system when that microphone is enabled.

Adjust BeltSta on Slot
The MasterBelt Slot Assignment only aff ects the order that the MasterBelt Opera onal screen displays the BeltSta on
informa on when the MasterBelt is in the
Sta c display mode. If the MasterBelt is rou nely used as a communica on port
or for monitoring BeltSta ons, it may be more convenient to always have the same user appear in the same posi on on the
MasterBelt display. This is a personal preference se ng.
In the MasterBelt “Tech Menu,” choose
Sta c or Dynamic from the “Slot Assignment” screen. Dynamic, the default, will
work without any adjustment, and always displays BeltSta ons in alpha-numeric order by name.
Sta c will be the preferred choice for users who are using only one MasterBelt and want to ensure that a BeltSta on that is
logged in will always appear in the same loca on (slot) on the MasterBelt display. When selec ng
Sta c slot assignments,
you must also enter the Tech Menu for each BeltSta on and assign each BeltSta on a diff erent slot (1 – 5).
