Key to FS II Base station front panel
Feature
Description
H
Program audio enable switch
This latching switch makes any program audio signal that enters via the rear-
panel line-level 3-pin XLR connector available to be assigned to wireless
beltpacks, either separately or mixed with communications groups. This switch
may be “locked” via the front-panel SYSTEM programming menu so that it may
not be disengaged accidentally..
I
Antenna ready light display
These green LEDs, one for each of the ten antennas that the Base station will
support, light when an antenna is connected and ready.
J
Display screen
.
The display screen shows all of the menus and programming options that are
available within the FS II system. The user can select a particular beltpack and
view all of its current talk/listen assignments, or see all of the current members
of a particular group. Via the screen and rotary encoder, labels (5-character
user names) can be created and/or changed, new members assigned to
groups, input and output levels adjusted, and so on.
K
Scroll/enter control
The setup/enter encoder is used to scroll through the various menu options
within the FS II Base station, in order to discover specific information regarding
users or to program communications routes and groups. Turning the encoder
clockwise scrolls display items toward the right, and turning the encoder counter
clockwise scrolls display items toward the left.
When a desired menu item is highlighted, pushing the setup/enter encoder
inward will select that item. The lists of available beltpacks and groups typically
span two or more screens, so when the highlight is at the leftmost or rightmost
part of the screen and the user continues to turn the rotary encoder in that
direction, the display will jump to the next screen selections (Example: in the
beltpack sections, the first screen shows beltpacks 1 through 5, and the second
shows 6 through 10.)
Pressing and holding the setup/enter encoder for more than three seconds will
return the display to the battery monitor.
L
Power switch
The power switch will turn the FreeSpeak Base station on and off.
