7 Operating the wireless beltpack
This chapter explains how to operate the FS II beltpack. It contains the following sections:
• Overview of the wireless beltpack
• Beltpack user controls
• Using the beltpack
7.1 Overview of the wireless beltpack
Figure 7-1 FreeSpeak II beltpack
An FS II wireless beltpack gives you simultaneous access to up to five channels of talk/listen
communication, with the ability to switch among them as desired. Any or all of these routes
may be kept open during use. You can adjust Incoming volume levels (“listen levels”) using
the two rotary level controls, so that one conversation can be monitored in the background
while a primary conversation is held.
The panel display contains the role (label) of the beltpack user, identifies up to four talk/listen
labels currently selected, and gives other information such as signal strength and battery
level. You can choose between two display modes:
• Intercom display mode – displays key labels, role name, signal strengths, battery
level and volume levels.
Figure 7-2 Intercom display mode
• Partyline display mode – displays role name, signal strength, battery level and
volume levels for channel A and channel B.
