4.8 CONSOLE AUDIO
PURPOSE:
To select how the Voice Board operates. NOTE: The Model VB-2 (for 
2-way audio) or VB-3 Voice Board must be installed to use these 
options. Selects the audio mode for monitoring with the Console’s 
microphone and communicating through the Console’s speaker to the 
subscriber. Controls the human voice prompts from the Voice Board.
With 2-way Audio enabled, after the Central Station operator 
acknowledges the communicators report, the Console will stop its siren 
and switch to the selected audio mode for 90 seconds.
USER RESPONSE:
AUDIO
✦ Click the arrow to show a list of settings for Two-way Audio and 
select the desired mode.
NONE: Audio Board will not report as an audio account to the Central Station. No 
audio monitoring will occur.
LISTEN-ONLY: The operator will be able to hear sound from the Console but will 
not be able to talk through the Console’s speaker. Pressing “9” on a telephone 
connected to the line disconnects the call (press any key but “9” to extend the time 
90 seconds).
TWO-WAY MANUAL: The operator will be able to hear sound from the Console 
and will be able to talk through the Console’s speaker. The operator can switch 
from listen to talk by pressing “1”, or switch from talk to listen by pressing “3” on a 
telephone connected to the line. Pressing “9” disconnects the call (press any key but 
“9” to extend the time 90 seconds).
TWO-WAY DUPLEX: The operator will be able to hear sound from the Console and 
will be able to talk through the Console’s speaker. The audio board will listen until the 
operator speaks, then the voice activation will switch the voice board to talk as long 
as the operator speaks. The operator can still switch from listen to talk manually by 
pressing “1”, or switch from talk to listen by pressing “3” on a telephone connected 
to the line (with increased volume). Pressing “8” returns to two-way duplex. Pressing 
“9” disconnects the call. Press any key but “9” to extend the time 90 seconds.
✦ Check the VOICE PROMPTS ENABLED box to have the Console 
announce system events with a digitally synthesized human voice.
