Initiating Priority Speech (Ts-801 Only) - Toa TS-800 Series Operating Instructions Manual

6.2. Initiating Priority Speech (TS-801 only)

The Chairman unit features the function that allows its speech to take precedence over that of the Delegate
unit. The Chairman unit's speech is prior to the AUX and MIC inputs.
Step 1. Speak while holding down the Priority Speech
key.
Both the Speech indicator and the Microphone
In-Use indicator light, placing the unit in priority
speech mode. No sound is output from the
monitor speaker while both indicators are
continuously lit. A chime tone* sounds at other
units, preventing them from being used for
speaking.
* The chime tone can be enabled or disabled
using the Priority Chime Disable switch
located on the underside of the unit.
ON: No chime sounds.
OFF: Chime sounds. (Factory-preset
position)
Note
When two or more Chairman units are used in
a system, a priority speech currently in
progress from one unit can be interrupted by
pressing the Priority Speech key of another
Chairman unit, allowing the latter unit to go
through. (Last-in-first-out priority)
Step 2. Release the Priority Speech key after speech
completion.
Both indicators extinguish, and sound can be
output from the monitor speaker.
Note
After the priority speech is completed, the other
interrupted unit resumes operation as
predetermined by the setting of the Interrupted
Operation Reset switch located on the bottom
side of the unit.
RESTORE: Resumes the unit's mode prior to
being interrupted by the priority
speech.
RESET: Resets all units currently being
used for speech (Factory-preset
position). When an interrupted
party wishes to continue to
speak, the Speech key must
again be pressed.
Note
The Chairman unit that initiated the priority
speech automatically returns to its original
mode following priority speech completion,
regardless of its Operation Reset switch
setting.
