Using with Mobile Phones (Bluetooth)

To operate a phone on the console, it must be paired with the Bluetooth device TELCO.

​
Quick Reconnection

  1. Ensure the TELCO fader is in CUE (closed) position.
  2. Enable Bluetooth on console: Hold BLUETOOTH for 5 seconds until CELL PHONE lights blue. The button will blink with slow pulse.
The Bluetooth module receives power from USB-1 or USB-2 channels.
If neither is connected to a PC, use an external USB power source (standard charger) with the supplied cable.
  1. Activate Bluetooth on mobile device → connection restores automatically.
  2. Incoming calls may be answered either from the mobile or via BLUETOOTH on the console.

​
Incoming Call (Mobile)

  • Rings on cellphone and CUE (TELCO closed). CELL PHONE flashes blue.
  • Answer with short press on BLUETOOTH (or from mobile screen).
  • Monitor conversation: With fader at CUE, call is heard through CUE.
  • Press TALK to speak. Button latches; press again to stop talking.
  • HOLD: Move fader to HOLD zone, caller hears program but isn’t broadcast.
  • ON-AIR: Raise fader to achieve proper level.
During conferences between cellphone and landline/VoIP, some echo may occur in the remote journalist’s return feed. Does not go on-air.

​
Ending the Communication

  • Short press BLUETOOTH on the console, or disconnect from the phone.

​
Return to Mobile

  • On the mobile phone: exit Headset/Bluetooth mode by switching to Speaker.
  • To return to the console: switch back to Headset mode (varies by phone model).

​
Initiate Call from Mobile Phone

  1. On the mobile device, disable Bluetooth to speak directly through the phone.
  2. Establish the call.
  3. To transfer to the console, switch to Bluetooth/Headset mode.
  4. With the fader in the HOLD position, the mobile receives return feed from the console but remains off-air.
  5. Raise the fader to bring the call on-air.
  6. To terminate: brief press of the BLUETOOTH button or disconnect from the mobile.
The call can also be established without exiting Bluetooth mode on the mobile, with the fader in CUE position and using TALK to converse from the console.
