Which NIB group you belong to depends on where you and the
other NIB headsets are located.
NIB operates when the environmental noise level exceeds
approx. 80 dB and when the noise is continous for approx.
1 second.
NIB also operates in less than 80 dB if the user presses the
PTT in either PTT mode or VOX mode.
Activating NIB (Fig 7)
Quickly double pressing the PTT will toggle between NIB PTT
ON/NIB OFF/NIB VOX ON.
Pressing and holding the NIB PTT button allows for
communications within the 10 m radius when in NIB VOX ON
mode and NIB PTT ON mode.
NIB VOX ON - In this mode, high levels of noise will activate
the NIB radio and allow VOX communications for up to four
users. Pressing the PTT button in VOX ON mode also allows for
communication in quiet.
When the headset operates in an environment with intermittent
noise, noise can activate NIB VOX repeatedly. In this situation,
you can use NIB PTT ON.
NIB PTT ON - In this mode, the PTT button must be pressed to
transmit.
NIB OFF - this mode TURNS OFF the NIB radio. In NIB OFF,
no RF signal is being emitted from the NIB radio.
