Figure 6-10 Editing a port’s label
4) Scroll to and select the alphanumeric character to be changed. A box appears
around the character.
5) Rotate the setup/enter encoder. As the encoder is rotated the entire range of
available characters appears, starting with upper-case characters, proceeding to
lower-case characters, then to digits, and finally to punctuation characters.
6) When the desired new character appears, press the setup/enter encoder to select it.
The box disappears, and is replaced by the solid highlight.
7) Repeat steps 4 through 6 for all the characters in the label that are to be changed.
8) Select ‘BACK’ to save the label. The front-panel display flashes to indicate that the
changes are being saved and applied.
To edit another port label, scroll clockwise to the BACK command and select it. The
AVAILABLE AUDIO PORTS menu appears. Select a new audio port to edit, and repeat steps
2 through 9.
6.6 Setting and changing group labels
A group label is used when an FS II beltpack needs to communicate with all members of a
group simultaneously, as in a partyline. The user can create up to ten groups. Five of these
can be standard groups with up to twelve members per group and five can be wireless
partyline groups with up to thirty members per group.
Group members can be individual beltpacks or wired devices connected to the Base station.
To form a group, the user must first create a name or “label” for the group, and then assign
members to the group.
6.6.1 To create a group label
1) From the main menu, select GROUPS. The first page of the AVAILABLE GROUPS
menu appears, as shown in The 5 standard group labels appear on the first page of
the menu. The generic labels GP#01 through GP#05 appear on the top row, and their
editable versions appear on the lower row. The default values are GRP01 through
GRP05.
