TalkBk
Talkback is a “push to talk” function 
that is active only while the button is 
pressed. The talkback function 
provides a communication channel 
when used with a receiver equipped 
with this function, such as a Venue 
Wideband receiver with firmware 
Ver. 5.2 or higher. When pressed and held in, the side 
button re-directs the audio output to a different audio 
channel on the receiver. As soon as the switch is 
released, audio is returned to the program channel.
NOTE:  The Talkback function is only available 
in the Digital Hybrid compatibility mode. An error 
message will appear if Talkback is selected while 
in another mode.
ProgSw
Power
Power turns the power on and off.
Hold the button in until the count-
down sequence from 3 to 1 is 
completed. The power will then be 
turned off.

Cough
Cough is a momentary mute switch. 
Audio is muted while the button is 
held in.
ProgSw
Mute
Mute is a “push on/push” off function 
that toggles on and off each time 
the Side Button is pressed. The 
mute function defeats the audio in 
the transmitter, so it works in all 
compatibility modes and with all 
receivers.
ProgSw
PTT
 Push To Talk is a momentary talk  
switch. Audio is transmitted while 
the button on the housing is 
held (opposite of cough)
ProgSw
(none)
(none) disables the switch.
For detailed information on setting up the Talkback 
function and the Venue receiver, refer to the Installa-
tion Guide for the Venue Wideband Receiver.
