Connecting to the party-line channels A or B
1) From the main menu, scroll to PORTS and select by pressing the setup/enter encoder in.
2) Scroll to PLCHA or PLCHB and press to select.
The SELECTED PORT screen appears.
3) Scroll to and select CALLS.
The CALL DESTINATION screen appears.
4) Select the port or group to be connected to the party-line by scrolling to it and pressing the rotary encoder. Doing so creates a route to the selected destination—this port or group can now hear the activity on the party-line.
Note: This option can also be set to NONE.
5) Select TYPE from the menu.
6) Select either Clear-Com or RTS or Termination.
7) The Base station automatically sets the audio levels and call signaling options for the selected party-line system.
Note: The Base station does not detect the RTS call signal.
8) If the changes are saved the route will be reinstated on power up.
Note: Suggested settings for a partyline connection are that the VOX should be set to -26dB, the gain output to -6dB and the input to 0dB.
Connecting to an RTS wired beltpack
FS II can only transmit and receive audio from channel 2 of an RTS wired beltpack. Connect using a standard XLR cable. Ensure that the party-line type is set to “RTS” using the menu on the Base station before enabling the party-line.
