Peltor Lite-Com Basic Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 22

If you want to transmit, you must use the PTT button. To switch VOX on again, press
and hold the UP (+) button for one second.
Note: For maximum ambient-noise compensation, position the microphone on the
headset no less than 3–5 mm from the lips.
SQUELCH (hiss reduction)
Squelch means that the noise in the earphones is reduced when the incoming signal
is below a set level. This way, the user doesn't have to listen to background hiss.
When someone speaks, the amplification returns instantly to the proper level.
Use the UP (+) and DOWN (–) buttons to set the squelch level. A voice message
confirms the new setting each time you press the button. There are five SQUELCH
levels and an off mode. Level 1 is most sensitive, renewing amplification at the low-
est input signal. To access off mode, press and hold the DOWN (–) button for one
second. A voice message confirms "squelch off". To switch VOX on again, press
and hold the UP (+) button for one second.
SUB CHANNEL (continuous tone-coded squelch system)
With a continuous tone-coded squelch system (CTCSS), the receiver will not pick up
speech without the addition of certain low-frequency tones (subtones). This allows
multiple users to use the same channel without interfering with each other.
Use the UP (+) and DOWN (–) buttons to set the subchannel. A voice message
confirms the new setting each time you press the button. There are 38 subchannels,
numbered 1–38, plus a 0 setting, meaning that no subtone is required in order to
be heard on the channel.
POWER (output)
There are two output levels, high and low. Use the UP (+) and DOWN (–) buttons to
set the output level. A voice message confirms the new setting each time you press
the button. "HIGH POWER" is high power and "LOW POWER" is low power.
Note:
The battery life span/operating time varies greatly depending on the type of batteries
and how the Lite-Com Basic is used.
For example, with an alkaline battery with at least 2,000 mAh, the operating time
in low-power mode is about 30 hours at 10% transmission, 10% reception and
80% stand-by. In high-power mode, the operating time under the same conditions
decreases by about 10%. At 20% transmission, 20% reception and 60% stand-by,
the operating time is about 20 hours.
PTT (Push-to-talk)
Press PTT to transmit manually using the Lite-Com Basic radio.
Notes:
1) In all situations, VOX can be switched off via two brief presses on the PTT button.
Switch it on again in the same way.
2) The Lite-Com Basic is equipped with AntiVOX, which means that voice-controlled
transmission is blocked when someone else is transmitting and you can only
transmit using PTT.
ASSEMBLY/CONFIGURATION
Batteries
Unscrew and open the battery cover. Use two 1.5-volt alkaline AA batteries (included).
Make sure that the + and – poles of the battery are in the correct position (see the
figure in the cover). Peltor's ACK03 NiMH accumulator battery or other rechargeable
AA batteries can also be used.
Headband (Fig. J)
1. Slide out the cups and place the headset over your ears so that the ear cushions
fit snugly.
2. Adjust the height of the cups to a snug, comfortable fit by sliding the cup up or
down while pressing the headband down.
3. The headband should lie across the top of the head.
Helmet attachment (Fig. K)
(K:1) Snap the helmet attachment into the slot on the helmet.
Note: The cups can be set in three positions: Working position (K:2), ventilation
position (K:3) and parked position (K:4). When in use, the cups must be placed in
working position. Press the headband wires inwards until you hear a click on both
sides. Ensure that the shell and the headband wires in working mode do not press
against the lining or edge of the helmet so that noise leakage can occur.
100% use of a working hearing protector is the only sure protection from
hearing loss.
If you spend time in environments with more than 85 dB A-weighted noise, you
need to protect your hearing, or the hearing receptors deep in your ears may be
irreparably damaged. If you remove the protectors for even a tiny portion of the time
you spend in noisy situations, you are in the danger zone.
A comfortable hearing protector designed for the specific noise level in which it is
used is the best guarantee that you will wear the hearing protector 100% of the time,
thereby ensuring protection from permanent hearing loss. For the best protection,
brush aside hair around the ears so the ear cushions fit snugly against the head.
Spectacle frames should be as thin as possible and fit close to the head.
