Operation Deskset Overview The MC3000 Digital Deskset shown in Figure 3-1, has the following twenty-two features: 1. Handset—for audio transmit and receive with a microphone in the mouthpiece and audio speaker in the ear piece. 2. Internal Microphone—for audio transmit without lifting the handset.
To turn the internal speaker off with the handset off-hook, press the Speaker button again. The Speaker LED turns off. Note: Returning the handset to the cradle (on-hook) will turn the Speaker LED off. MC3000 Digital Deskset Operator and Installation Manual (6880309L15-A)
Always allow a short delay after pressing the Transmit button, and before speaking, to allow time for the radio channel to be established. For the best transmit audio quality, maintain a speaking distance of 18 inches from the desk microphone. MC3000 Digital Deskset Operator and Installation Manual (6880309L15-A)
The operator jackbox accommodates a standard dual-jack headset connector. Microphones Figure 3-3: Desk microphone (HMN3000) Each deskset includes an internal condenser microphone, and a jack for an external desk- microphone. MC3000 Digital Deskset Operator and Installation Manual (6880309L15-A)
