3.4 Basic Operation
operaTIon | 19
You can use a telephone set to either dial an outgoing call or to talk to an incoming caller before
they are switched to the hybrid.
When a call is ringing-in, the line status icon will display expanding concentric squares. Push
the button to answer it directly on the hybrid or use the telephone set to speak with the
caller. You can move the call from the telephone to the hybrid by pressing the button. The
telephone set will be disconnected.
When a call is taken on the hybrid, a brief mute/adapt period provides an opportunity for the
system to adapt to the line before the call goes on the air. The caller hears a “noise burst” to alert
him that he’s on the air but the noise burst isn’t heard by the audience as the output is muted
while the noise is being sent. While the caller is on the hybrid, the hybrid continuously adapts
to telephone line characteristics.
Press the button to return the call to the telephone handset and disconnect it from the
hybrid. Hang up the phone if you want to drop the call.
When a call is active on the hybrid, pressing the button mutes the receive audio, but keeps
the call active on the hybrid. The caller hears send audio while waiting on hold and the unit will
disconnect if the held caller hangs up or is disconnected for any reason. When a call is on hold
and you press the button, the caller audio is restored. The caller will hear the adapt noise/
tone, about half the length of when you press the button from any other condition. Thus,
one purpose of the Hold function is to allow a “pre-adaption” to the telephone line and a quick
take of it later.
