First, Some Important Notes:
Description:
The CA12CD is a cordless PTT (push-to-talk) headset adapter designed to provide encrypted communications and PTT functionality for 6-wire applications used by Public Safety Dispatch and Air Traffic Controllers. It works with all H series headsets, and utilizes digital processing while operating in the UPCS radio band (1.92-1.93 GHz). The PTT switcher allows the user to select between lockable/non-lockable operational modes. The two charging wells allow both the remote unit and an extra battery pack to charge simultaneously allowing for continual talk time on the CA12CD. The battery life is approximately 8 hours.
Operation (see Figure 1):
Press the On/Off button on the top of the Remote Unit (A). The indicator will begin to flash green. Depress the PTT button (E) on the remote to generate a “key” signal to the console/radio which will allow the user to be heard. While the PTT button is depressed the green Talk Indicator (L) on the base unit will illuminate. Release the PTT button to hear the caller.
Volumes (see Figure 1):
The CA12CD offers a variety of volume controls for the sensitivity of sending and receiving audio. There are four adjustments overall, two for incoming sound and two for outgoing. You can also adjust the sensitivity range for the microphone on the bottom of the base (K) to emulate Carbon (setting 4), Electret (setting 2/3), or Dynamic (setting 1).
