7.3.6 Setting and Adjusting Listen Levels
You can adjust a beltpack’s incoming audio volume in two ways:
• The master volume level for the beltpack can be set by using the beltpack menu
options. See 8.2 Configuring the beltpack volume settings.

the beltpack’s rotary level controls.
To adjust the listen level during talk or listen from the beltpack:
• During talk and listen, rotate an assignment’s talk button to increase or decrease the
incoming volume level (“listen level”) for that assignment.
Note: You can also configure the incoming audio volume using the Configuration Editor or the EHX
software.
